Choosing a Mitsubishi Evo exhaust system can be a hard task. The decision to purchase is a big one due to the amount of hard earned cash you Will have to part with. To help make the decision easier for you let's look at some of the important things to consider when buying a new evo exhaust. There is no right answer as to which is best, but you should ask your self a few things to decide which is right for you.
1. Cat back or Turbo Back. The most common question from new Evolution owners ask is "should I buy a turbo back or cat back exhaust system". This is usually a hang up for people new to modifying cars, especially turbo cars. While a turbo back will give you more power, it will also cost more. A turbo back exhaust includes more piping, and sometimes a catalytic converter or test pipe, and down pipe. On average a turbo back will set you back $250 more than a cat back system.
2. Price. The overall price of an exhaust system varies wildly depending on materials used and manufacturers. Be prepared to pay minimum $650 for a cat back and $850 for a turbo back.
3. Materials. High performance exhaust systems are typically made of 1 of two materials or a combination of both. The most popular metals are stainless steel and titanium. An exhaust made from either material is corrosion resistant and will last a very long time. The largest differences are weight and price. Titanium exhausts are typically much lighter, but also cost more. A stainless exhaust will usually save weight over a factory system, and titanium will be even lighter.
4. Sound and style. Every exhaust has a different sound and style, and this will all come down to personal preference. Check out youtube or popular forums for many videos, sound clips, and pictures of different evo exhausts to help you make up your mind.
5. Power. This is the ultimate goal right, why we buy the exhaust in the first place. In my experience any exhaust from a well known manufacturer is going to make power. How much power will determine on many factors, and is more than we can discus here. In general you can believe the manufacturers claims of power gains.
6. Stay Legal. Depending on where you live and how you drive you evo there may be different laws you will need to know regarding a new exhaust system. Most states require that vehicles have catalytic converters installed, Although, not all states check, but if you get caught with out one the fines are outrageous. For off road only or race cars no catalytic converter is fine, this is commonly called a straight pipe, or test pipe. For a street legal car, a high flow cat is recommended. This will add to the cost of your exhaust system, but there will be no power loss like there would be from using a stock catalytic converter. Some states also have noise ordinances, so the sound level coming from your tail pipe needs to be below the legal limit to keep you compliant.
Now that you are prepared to shop for a new exhaust system remember the most important thing. Don't rush into buying an evo exhaust. There are many dealers on line and off to purchase from. Shop around and try to find the best deal.

Ford - Shaken But Not Stirred
Like a lot of car manufacturers Ford has struggled financially in recent years and has been forced to sell a number of major assets in an attempt to return to profitability.
During this time the company has seen its market position fall in 2007 from the World's second largest car manufacturer, a position it had previously held for some 56 years, to become third placed behind Toyota and General Motors respectively. To make things worse Ford then dropped to fourth place behind Volkswagen.
Ford underwent some rather rapid restructuring as a result and has jettisoned its two quality brands Jaguar and Land Rover to the Indian car manufacturer TATA Motors. It has also sold Aston Martin to a consortium of businessmen led by Prodrive Chairman Dave Richards, although it has retained a financial holding in the company. Financial restructuring has also taken place at Volvo who are part of the Ford group.
Despite these recent problems Ford continues to develop its successful model range and it is very much business as usual for Ford Europe as Ford USA attempts to get back on a stable business footing.
Ford's European model range is now based on the new 'Kinetic' design platform and has consolidated its designs to offer an attractive collection of small, medium and large vehicles.
The vehicle which has attracted a lot of interest recently is the new Kuga. Not to be mistaken with the Cougar which along with the Probe was an attempt to revive the Capri but proved to be a failure.
Ford has been out of the 4x4 market for a while largely due to its involvement with Land Rover and Volvo so the Kuga has been eagerly awaited. The Kuga is a five door crossover vehicle and is only designed for occasional off-road use and is not intended to have the same capabilities or ground clearance as larger 4x4 vehicles.
This may not have been made clear to the presenter of the Channel 5 motoring programme Fifth Gear. He was quite complimentary about the Kuga but could not resist driving it into really punishing terrain that ultimately caused a reported £7000 worth of damage.
The Kuga utilises an intelligent AWD (All Wheel Drive) Haldex four wheel drive system whereby power is supplied the road wheels where necessary according to the terrain. It is powered by a 2.0 TDCI diesel engine which has been improved by Ford engineers so that it now has the lowest CO2 emissions in its class and also delivers an impressive 44mpg combined which should pacify some environmentalists. The engine has improved torque and a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. The current model range consists of the Zetec model and also the Titanium with the Titanium having a slightly higher spec although both are very well equipped.
The Kuga has very good safety levels with an impressive Euro NCAP rating of five stars for adult occupants, four stars for children and even three stars for pedestrians so you'll even be ok if you are unfortunate enough to get knocked down by one! There are a large number of passive and active features including multiple air bags and a rigid safety cell. The Kuga also boasts ABS, Traction Control, and Electronic Stability Programme. Keyless entry and start can also be found as can a variety of different 'packs' which manufacturers now offer according to customer needs. The specifications of both are very generous though and come with 17" Alloy wheels although 19" are available. The Kuga will never match the capabilities of bigger 4x4's but then its not really meant to and therefore will be happy to occupy the position in the market for which it has been designed. Ford has created yet another winner here and seemingly refuses to be beaten.
