SBR may be talking about a 2G version which I cannot comment on as have not seen one personally
I will have updates on the downpipes and catback systems sometime this week, either tomorrow or latest Friday. I started a new thread for suggestions/feedback on Megan O2 housings, in both dump and non-dump variety with 2.5 inch piping, _IF_ this is what people want. Leave feedback in this thread:
Well guys, I'm going to MR tomorrow to fit up the new downpipe and catback system for a final fitment check. I'm also bringing an OEM O2 housing so they can do measurements. I'll talk with them about the O2 housings and I forwarded them the other thread about the O2 housings so they can see your responses. I'll give an update on everything when I get back, along with some nice pictures.
well from what ive been told by the starter of this thread.. they have to scratch the whole project. and start from square one. apparently there is some bs problem with the downpipe where it bolts to the o2 housing. they made it too big and the nuts wont go on or some bs. and the catback isnt long enough. so basically they just got a shipment in but they all have to be sent back again cause megan screwed up and didnt fab their template correctly. so now all the ones they do have have to be sent back to china and done over. apparently megan doesnt have their shit together. remember their first downpipe right... yeah i unfortunately do too.. sounds like a recurring theme with megan racing... two tumbs down

Yeah, I talked to you on AIM, reluctantly, that is. I was very nice to you when you first asked me questions, even though some of the answers could be found here. When I gave you an update, you got very upset and started putting me an Megan Racing down. I have spent a LOT of my time and money driving down to Megan countless times to get this done right. I'm just wondering how you can complain so much for something that you didn't even pay for. I can understand if you payed money for the new downpipe, and then there was a delay/problem with them. But you haven't.
We are NOT scratching the whole project. Here is EXACTLY what we are doing: The piping on the downpipe where the downpipe meets the O2 is being reduced slightly to make it easier to fit. It will still start larger than 2.5" and immediately go to 3" the rest of the way. All we did is very slightly reduce the beginning size to make sure installation is easy. How is that completly scratching the project? And no, it's not "some bs".
And "Megan doesn't have their [expletive] together"??? I won't comment on that, I'll let others on this forum decide for themselves. The catback is being extended slightly, so it fits better with the rear bumper. The finished products will be here within 2-4 weeks for installation, and immediately after the fitment is confirmed, production will start. They will also have the O2 housing done at this same time. I'm sorry you're upset with Megan. We're just trying to do the best job we can and still offer it cheap, and eliminate the "You get what you pay for" factor.
I created this thread to share with people the upcoming products from Megan and ask for their suggestions. I could have not mentioned it to anyone, had the exhaust and downpipe made how Megan thinks it should be done, and just released the products. But I wanted me and you guys involved, unlike what happens with most companies. I can see that starting this thread created some problems with anticipation, and if I never created it no one would be waiting for them, so we wouldn't have problems like this. But then the parts wouldn't have been made as well as they could have.
any reputable shop can make a mandrel bent exhaust in a matter of hours. not months. this has been a 6 month long project from the date of your original post. to produce a faulty template. i think not. sounds fishy to me. but im not suprised.
Actually, it wasn't a faulty template. We could have finished it right then and there. The nuts would have went on, but with a bit of a struggle. The catback would have fit perfectly, but came a little short when exiting the bumper. We could have started production. But we didn't. We wanted it as close to perfect as we could. If you're tired of waiting, buy something else. No one's forcing you to buy the Megan parts. Also, as posted earlier in this thread, the delay was from the factory being overloaded with all the new products Megan is releasing for so many different cars.
okay enough with the fighting. where is the down pipe boe? is it ready?
Boe. As I mentioned in the above post, the downpipe fit on but were very slightly changing the beginning to make it easier to bolt up to the O2 housing. Within a few weeks, we will have one that fits ready for production.
Because Megan is actually taking the time to test fit everything and make sure it's perfect, I will be buying from them when it does come out I would rather wait a little bit longer and get something that has been checked and rechecked for fitment, and that I know is going to work. I'm sure they could half ass it and put it out tomorrow, but they are showing they actually care for the customers and the slight issues they might have. I applaud them for putting this type of time and effort into a product cheaper then anything near the same quality.

Dude, seriously stop your whinning. I know its easy to hide behind a computer and talk all the crap you want. I know (eclipsegsx1736) personally and he is not trying to make this product a piece of crap. He wants quality work from these guys. You say that a shop can make it in a few hours, well go get it done in a few hours. Is it going to be nice? Probably not! Megan screwed up once on their design, thats a known fact but shit they are trying to fix it. Cut them and the original poster some slack. I dont see you trying to help them out in their design. If you need the cat back bad enough then buy the original designed downpipe cut and rotate the freakin flange and get a better o2 housing. Is that so hard? Stop trying to look like a badass on a site when really your coming off as a gutless coward. to you and your non punctuation using ass. to eclipsegsx1736 for being a true DSMer.
Eclipsegsx1736, I think it's great that MR is trying so hard to make a great product. But for the people that bought the 2g dp that doesn't fit correctly, is MR offering anything to them like an exhange? Would emailing them be the best option? Thanks.

Out of curiosity what is your relationship with Megan Racing at this point? At the onset of this thread your involvement was limited to lettign M-R test fitment of specific parts on your car, but now it seems (from your own words) you are wholly involved in the development, production and fitment of M-R products

Exactly what I was about to ask? How can you help keep the product cheap if you aren't part of megan racing?
Sorry for the confusion. I don't work for Megan Racing, but I am helping them by providing my car to test parts. What may have confused some of you guys is that normally when a company wants to make, say, a catback for a 2g GSX, they borrow someone's car for a few days, make measurements etc, and return the car to the person with a guarantee for a free part or some compensation for the inconvience. What happened with me was I brought my car to Megan Racing, but I stayed with them as they created the prototype, offering suggestions based on what I know and what has been mentioned in this thread. That's why I use "we" instead of "them", because I was actually helping them create the prototype, but I don't work for them. Why am I doing this? Honestly, because I will get a free catback/downpipe when it's done, and because I believe that this company can do what none of the others have, which is create a product tailored directly to the buyer's wishes, and not what the company thinks the buyers want, and not have to charge a ridiculous amount. I don't have anything to do with what Megan charges for their parts, I just know from the past that their catback systems are cheaper than most other companies, but is still true stainless steel, and have good reputation for fitment and quality (except in the 2g GSX old downpipe case).

its cool bow keep doing your thing. im a hater and wish i was in your shoes. i would get them all to do everything... so when are you installing the seats? and coilovers. i want to know how the coilovers work out.

Clear, just didnt' want to have a shadow cast over your posts as in the past others have snuck in here under the guise of a consumer when actually were a non-registered vendor

Everything I've gotten sofar from M-R has been very well made and a steal for what they charge
Alright guys, Megan would like to know if you want a Stainless Steel tip or a Titanium tip with the burnt effect. The SS would look similiar to the Apexi N1 tip, and the titanium tip would look similiar to the HKS Carbon-Ti tip, where it has the bluish burnt effect. They would look somewhat like the examples below...ignore the silencer in the pics. Please reply quickly so they can get these done ASAP. thanks
Somewhat on the same topic, I don't much like the large single opening "coffee can". Literally, all I know about exhaust is that a bigger diameter = better flow. That being said, I very much prefer the dual tip look. Is there a quality dual tip muffler available with good tone that doesn't sacrifice much flow?
thanks. hope your dp comes in soon!

Boe. As I mentioned in the above post, the downpipe fit on but were very slightly changing the beginning to make it easier to bolt up to the O2 housing. Within a few weeks, we will have one that fits ready for production.
