EVO III O2 Housing and Stock 2G Downpipe

[alfredo]

I just recently ordered the O2 housing along with a 16G turbo from slowboy racing and wanted to know how the install is going to be. I was wondering if an EVO III O2 housing fit a 95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD stock downpipe? Is there any modification that needs to be done and if yes what and how? Thanks for the help.

No, the o2 housing will not fit with your stock downpipe because it is angled differently. You will have to get a downpipe that is made to fit with the angle of the evo III o2 housing or get another o2 housing. You can get a downpipe at RRE ( Road Race Engineering).

Or get another o2 housing

People have used the stock down pipe with the Evo III o2 housing. You'll have to notch the mounting holes in the downpipe out for it to work. This should only be temporary though it puts a lot of stress on the downpipe because it mounts at a different angle. So get a downpipe made for that housing as soon as you can.

What downpipes would you guys recommend? I am on a budget so I need something economical and I cannot cancel out the catalytic converter since I live in California. I would like to hear your input.
