Thanks for everyone's input. I guess.I'm just gonna bolt each one out and test it myself and decide from there. I appreciate the info. I'll let you all know what I decide.

I have owned the megan and the hks. The megan is louder for sure. I personally like it more than the hks.

you were right about it sounding like crap
my ams exhaust doesnt sound anything like that, and all the built motors I have heard don't sound like that either such as buschur 2.0 and 2.3, and map 2.3 and 2.4

First let me say you should have NEVER put Megan Racing in the same catigory as AMS and HKS! I have had both of the AMS and the HKS on 2 different Evos and I personally liked the HKS better! I would recommend the HKS Ti and to deffenetly stay away from the Megan!

For anyone out there that swears by Megan Racing and feel like thier feelings got hurt by my opinion "I dont care so dont PM me complaining"
To everyone else I hope this helps!

Another vid of the AMS TBE. This was at ~360whp

I'm aware the video is bad quality and all dark... it's just for the sound.

Edit: The reason I got rid of the Megan was I had an accident and it got smashed, I then bought the AMS with insurance money.

Ive gotten compliments from other evo guys on how good my car sounds, esp WOT.
Had a Megan with a resonator and IMO, it sounds like every other Evo out there with an eBay exhaust or HKS. Now, I got a Magnaflow N1 style CBE with same resonator and it sounds beasty. The deep rumble when it idles all the way to how it screams at WOT.

Why should you stay away from a Megan exhaust again?

There is no reason. Likely cause Megans parts are cheaper and he feels like he only wants to buy overpriced parts for his car.

You will not have issues with the Megan exhaust. 100's of EVOs on this forum alone make big power with it.

This coming from me the idiot with the $1k+ exhaust system

That's not the one with the resonated pipe correct? Mine is much deeper and has more growl to it than that video
