mine has 40k on it and works like a charm. i have the cat delete on mine. as far as function, i rate it an A. quality is about a C+ or B-. the exhaust tip rattled loose with it just being held with rivets and the hanger on the rear muffler needed rewelded as the weld started to break. other than that, the exhaust itself performs well.

It's a good exhaust for the money but you need to remember that it sounds different under a load.

So you didn't have any issues with connections. I have the cat back and test pipe connected to the stock down pipe. Any recommendations getting rid of the "service engine soon"? The hangers don't seem to go on properly. I was going to run the cat back first but the catback doesn't fit properly into the stock cat. So I ended up using the testpipe too.

I've had my Megan Racing exhaust for over 2 years now, and it has held up well. Installation was pretty simple, the fit was good, and it performs great. I also added the Megan O2 housing earlier this year, which is pretty much the standard O2 housing for Evos.

An exhaust is a pretty simple design, so I didn't mind going "cheap" with it; especially seeing how well the Megan exhausts have performed.

I rocked a megan racing exhaust for about a year... sounded great, i made power and would buy it for the money anyday.

I'd agreew with this review. Works well, though over time it looks worse for wear and the welds were subpar.

I'd say C/C- for quality.

I sold my Megan catback and for a $500 on special I picked up a Greddy TiC and it sounds deeper, smoother, and looks great after two years (keeping it clean/polished). I still use my Megan DP. works great, looks fair.
