I want to say this though you'd never believe it from the pics but the downpipe was filthy and did'nt have any shine to it at all. The guy who had it before me blew his turbo and there was burnt oil on it everywhere. It took me about four hours total and a lot of mothers polish and even more elbow grease but in the end it turned out beautiful just as high quality stainless should.

If you do not want loud do no get Thermal (lol) but Thermal it's self does not have many bends either I perfer loud and that's me!

I have heard Topsecrets exhaust and went with him to pick it up .......for the price it is hand's down worth it, the welds are very good , not to many bends like Apexi N1 , the sound is relative to N1's in a way and you did a good job on getting all that Burt oil off that down pipe it was brown before

The Thermal is not that loud at all. Seriously! Although, I think that the difference in the GST and GSX muffler is what makes yours louder. I have a friend with one on his spyder GST and I know his is a little louder then mine. Just my $.02

lol .........umm let me re word that I had a Anderson High Performance exhaust mated with a Thermal muffler with a 5 inch angle cut tip mine was a GST and I had 3 other friends that had Thermal R & D exhaust and none of theirs was near as loud as mine .

AHP exhaust did not have as many bends in it as Thermal did and AHP did not neck down to bolt to a cat like thermal did it stayed 3 inch all the way.

I wish I would have never SOLD that exhaust

Bonehead Performance and Slowboy Racing both carry Megan exhausts.

Just uploaded a PIC of mine to my gallery. Note that it comes with a resonator and the N1-Style tip with the removable silencer

Nice tail lights


I talked to Jose a few days ago, he says it's supposed to be realesed around the middle of this month.

I'm guessing early-mid feb. They are also working on a tubular exhaust mani similar to the evo's.

Yes, the manifold is coming along well. I already got a working T3/T4 manifold that had no fitment issues. the Mitsu one is still being worked on as we speak. I told them to make sure it was a 7 cm.

The 2g AWD catback is the only one that hasn't been released yet. I haven't heard anything from them about it yet, they're very busy with prototyping/molding new parts for all kinds of cars. They have been coming out with a huge amount of new stuff lately, and it's backing everything up. I'm hoping it will be done soon, and as always I'll post when I hear about it.

Tubular. They've been out for Evos for a while, do a search on EvolutionM.net and you'll see they're popular and hold up. Here's a pic of the Evo manifold, the DSM one will be the same other than the obvious changes required for it to bolt to our cars. They are making a T3 manifold as well as a Mitsu flanged one.

damn the evo ones are only $249! If they are quality (it sure seems like it) this may the way to go. I'm waiting for their exhaust right now though.

Did you actually mount any T3/T4 turbos up to it? If so whatd you use for an o2 housing?

are those kits mandrel bent? couldnt find any answers on the site. is it just the piping and the bends, weld it up yourself? or are they slip fit and clamp on ready?

If too many people start buying their stuff though, their prices will be the same as the other big names.

I got your PM after I posted.

Megan's stuff is already steadily increasing in price, I just hope they make an o2 housing for the t3/t4 turbos.
