People do look down on megan for the 'quality' of some of their parts.

Although; i have megan resonated test pipes and have no complaints here. They were on even before I got the aftermarket exhaust, it sounded pretty good with the oem exhaust.

There is a flex pipe on each one, and i forgot to mention the minor hissing noise you get when you are release the throttle at a low rpm.

It fits about as good as any other test pipe out there.


Just know that there is a likely chance your cel light will go up and stay on, there is a trick to putting spark plug foulers in the 02 bung to help 'trick' the sensor, but that only works sometimes.

Yeah i get the light, its been on for like 2 years now. I got used to it..somehow. I had already made the fouler kit for the 02 sensors but I just never got to putting them in.

The light goes on because the sensor flags an abnormal amount of gas passing it, after all going from cats to free flowing test pipes is somewhat of a drastic change in the exhaust system

The hissing not really THAT loud,it IS noticeable though. another thing you may have to get used to

When the stock exhaust was on, not really.

Sounded pretty beast past 3.5k though
