I bought and installed my Megan TBE two years ago and haven't looked back since. Honestly, its everything you should look for in an exhaust, it just doesn't have a name brand. And why does it need to? The system is a full 3" with no taper, made of quality stainless steel, nice welds, preset O2 bungs, fits great, sounds great, angled muffler,.....everything we want from an exhaust. Why pay a lot more for a part you can't even see??? Spend the money you save on parts that matter, like tires! Truth be told, all an exhaust is, is some bent piping. I love my Megan. If you want a name brand muffler just weld it on. That's how I see it...
hehe baller!! The cool thing i was the only guy with that limited edition sean john shirt.

I posted in the newbie forum about this. I got the invidia n1 CBE from topspeed autosport, Cobb dp, and Cobb test pipe (so the a full tbe) all for under $600.00. Less expensive, and in my opinion nicer parts. Megan tbe was the other setup I was looking at due to the price. As stated previously, the best deals were right through the vendor forums here.
Also take a look at the private sellers section. I got a couple great deals on parts and misc interior parts from class A people on these boards. My setup is:
Invidia O2, Mackin Industries DP (still up in the air but most likely getting it from RRE when I get my car tuned), Invidia TP, and Megan CBE. All 3" Check out TopSpeed vendor thread they have great parts and SUPER fast shipping I got my housing in less than 24 hours.

Sorry bro, it sold, I have payment in hand. But I saw some stock turbo gaskets in the for sale section the other day. I would replace it if you have it apart. might as well.

I've got a megan and the quality is ok. I spent a lot of time cleaning it up on the inside. I wish I took before and after pictures for reference. Fyi, I'm not selling it, but just giving you a heads up. MAKE SURE the wastegate merger port is big enough before you install it. I bought a new one off a local guy and he already enlarged the hole, but apparently not enough. I found out when I took the time to install it! So I have to take it off (and all the crap to get to it) enlarge the port and see how she works.
I asked someone on here who had the same problem as me for pics of the hole for a size reference, but he didn't have any. He told me he eventually made it golf ball size-ish.
It made my boost "chatter" like crazy in higher gears. Wastegate flapper was probably going nuts trying to control the boost.
I just put mine on last weekend, so I'm taking it off soon and enlarging the port even more. Talk about a total waste of time. Learn from my mistake and do it right the first time
