....ok, after a couple of exhaust set ups (from free flow mufflers, to larger diameter piping, and true dual from cats to x-pipe w/ high flow resonator to stock mufflers) I went 'all in' with a full Megan exhaust from the cats....I must say, it is nice!!! the quality of the pieces is great...the sound is awesome: at start up, idle, cruising and WOT on the fwy....I just got it installed today, so I will let it break in a little more. I can immediately feel the difference in more power, lighter weight (compared to other set up)...
I went to a tuner shop -- actually 2 blocks from Megan Racing Headquarters -- got a great deal.
originally I purchased the Megan axle backs -- then started talking about cutting my set up to make it match the flanges -- it would have been a little work and more $$$ for labor -- we discussed the total cost for the mid pipe and the y-pipe, coincidentally enough, the shop owner had a 'used' megan y-pipe and we made a deal that was affordable for me -- so over all I got the complete set up(labor included) at a hell of a deal....besides, I really appreciate the clean welds on the Megan set up...really gives the exhaust system a good look -- compared to what I had...LOL.
here are some prelim pix -- will try and get a video of the sound...
OLD set up
stock mufflers with larger tips
NEW set up
Megan y-pipe -- used
Megan mid pipe
great value and within my budget...perfect sound, great look, more power...
it was a great experience since I went with the shop owner to pick up the mid pipes at Megan Racing...got to meet the staff and they talked to me about their coilover system -- the Street version -- it may be on my list -- will let you know...if I pick up the coilovers, I will sell my H-Techs and the 4 KYB's (shocks) that I just recently installed...
