[Avengerdude]

Try Partsfit or Certifit.

just so you know, those dudes were kidding about swapping it with a 4g63. It's nearly financially and physically impossible to put a 4g63 into anything with the 420a engine.

Just a little digression for information;

I try to not get people excited about this stuff, but if you are experienced enough (and smart enough), it really isn't that hard or expensive. BUT you must do the work yourself and have the knowledge and experience.

My buddy did this one in about a week for less than $1500 (donor cars and parts etc.), Connecticut Club DSM Edit in, they upgraded the software so you can't link without password. Couple of pics;

He owns his own shop and still has a Hyundai AWD. The Avenger was registered for the street (I don't know if it still is). Ran 11.6 in the 1/4 on a 30r set-up.

Just posted this up to show that these things can be done but you aren't going to find a "formula" for doing it. You won't be able to post up a question like "How do you make an Avenger AWD?". If you post up that question, my response would then be;

It's nearly financially and physically impossible to put a 4g63 into anything with the 420a engine.

Just a little info.

The carbon fiber doors and hatches won't work on your Avenger.

I don't see why a carbon fiber door for a Eclipse wouldn't work.
The only difference I know of it the glass in the door.

Sorry to get off topic a bit, but would you guys be cautious when buying a full exhaust of ebay?
95-99 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE NON-TURBO HEADER+CATBACK 420A:eBay Motors (item 120458944563 end time Dec-11-09 18:39:30 PST)
its $200 dollars shipped and its all stainless steel...

I guess the real question is, what difference would I find from the ebay one when compared to a brand name one that is much more expensive; especially if they are both stainless steel?

going off eBay, you might have a few fitment issues. Of course even going to a muffler shop to get that fixed would still be cheaper than name brand. Also the sound will be slightly different, and maybe a little bit different of an appearance, but nothing major. Personally your deciding factor should be budget and sound. They all perform roughly the same. Just make sure you are getting the right diameter. Some eBay ones are for 2 1/2 inches and others for 3inches, so make sure to check that out when purchasing.

What would be the best diameter for a non turbo set up, I've been told that 3 inches would be to much by some people where as others have said that it would be fine. Is there a wrong or right when it comes to things like that?

I would recommend if your planing on staying NA Then 2.5" will be all you'll need. I'am currently running a 2.5" with a modded GST muffler, But I will be upgrading to a Custom 3" (building the entire exhaust system my self) For my turbo set up. You can go with a 3" but i would doubt you'll see any gains

 

[Fotowntalon]

agreed with 96, about near consensus in the 420a community for 2 1/2 for NA. I'd personally be to scared to risk going to big as in 3inches. For more info on exhaust sizes, heres some good reads http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/fre...8578-exhaust-straight-scoop-backpressure.html
