I have seen that Megan Racing stuff up close. I wouldn't buy it. But Im sure someone will tell you to get it.


If you don't have to deal with emissions, the DC Sports catless DP is AWESOME! Very high quality and attention to detail. I also got the Greddy Evo2 exhaust and I'm equally thrilled with it so far. I got the DP and the catback from NO LIMIT motorsports in the Vendor section of this site. They are great! I got the parts on the 3rd day after ordering!

No emmisions to worry about here in florida. I would like to eventually get a full turbo back, but don't want to have to worry about the CEL issue....

Lots of hating on here to the Megan stuff, but for the expense you cant beat it. I have the DP, Hi-FLow Cat and Cat Back and its all great. I just ordered the O2 housing but havent installed it yet.

I run the Megan O2 Housing and downpipe. I already had a catback and test pipe when I got them. Otherwise I would have the test pipe and catback as well. It is made well. The welds are nice, it's stainless steel, and there is really no point in spending more unless you want Ti.

My friend has the downpipe and test pipe ("HF cat") and he loves them!

i run the megan racin O2 housing and DP. you have you use there hardware to get it to work and fit right. But the O2 housing holes I had to drill out to get their own bolts to fit through. Have you ever tried drilling through hardened steel? Its a *****. Lots of PB and elbow grease with and electric drill. Plus then getting the bolts tightened down afterwards is a *****. Its easier with teh turbo off the car to do this job. As far as performance, a pipe is a pipe in my aspect of thinking.

see...I told you that someone would say to get it. I swear, you could say that the sky is blue and someone on here would argue the point.

I have been around a lot of exhausts...I have been around a LOT of fabricated metal/steel products...My father owns a very large machine shop...

The Megan stuff is poor quality...but cheap. You might be ok with the downpipe..maybe ok with the O2 housing...but do NOT get the Megan tubular manifold. Trust me. It'll be cracked before you know it and then you'll be in here asking how to fix a cracked manifold.

Bottom line: You get what you pay for. Sure some of that $$ goes for the name, but they got that name somehow and that somehow was putting out quality products.

The kit I was looking at only has the Turbo Outlet +Downpipe + Hi Flow Cat(Test Pipe), no tubular manifold.... Mainly concerned with fitment issue and quaility vs. price of these products only. I like the helix as well, I guess I could just buy 1 piece at at time

Evolusion, almost all stainless manifolds crack in no time unless you spend over a grand, FYI. The Borlas have cracked, the HKS' have cracked, etc.
