Megan Racing exhaust replaced with new Megan Exhaust from Zeus!
First off, let me say that I had very little desire to replace my Megan Exhaust I already had on the car... that was before I accidentally lowered the car while still having a jackstand supporting the exhaust
Right away it was louder, and I discovered that I had both dented the resonator and even managed to bend up the huge flanges somehow!( I guess if you're going to break something, do it right )
I had considered trying to have an exhaust shop repair it, but considering the material and not really having a good relationship established with a shop that would be trustworthy I decided to ask our friend Zeus what they had to offer nowadays...
My original exhaust was the old style Megan, it used some flat tabs for mounting and bolted to the stock hangars, not bad but room for improvement...
The new version is slick, it uses stock style hangars and also uses the 3rd hangar in the right rear wheel well area which the original version did not... this made installation very simple and no worry about the rusty hangar bolts going forward!
The biggest change is a resonator built into the middle section of pipe! I'm very happy with this, the car so far is much easier to hear myself think while cruising around town.. I'm going to be taking a drive on the highway shortly and I'll report back if that is also improved, as it was not pleasant for the long road trips previously.
Sorry for the crappy pictures... somebody ran my camera over with a truck

yea you're not kidding, it has a habit of shooting fireballs and lighting up the rearview mirror as well I was thinking of either an aftermarket exhaust hanger set I've seen some people have but I'm not sure if that would help at all, might have to take a look under there and see what I can do to move it over a little..

The highway test was good, all in all I'm very happy with it, I can hear myself think in the car during regular driving but it is still plenty angry sounding under throttle, deep also just like the original one

The tip on this one makes it not as visible I should take a couple more pics when the car is cleaned up, I've always liked the look, sounds and performance hands down for the money
