megan exhaust leak

[10fold]

Ok I've been wanting to ask this question for a while but never got around to it. I put on a Megan dp and cat-back on about a year ago and had some issues with the dp. It's not exactly a prober fit with the stock o2 housing and I have a pretty bad leak coming out of where they connect. I read on here about someone using washers and some other people getting a flange. What should I do? If I do get a flange, what size would it be and would it need to be welded? Oh and if someone could tell me if there is a certain type of washer they used as a spacer and where to get them. This exhaust leak really needs to go, its starting to get embarassing

yeah, mind did the same till i got a megan o2 housing to match the DP.

and from what i heard, Megan Racing is redoing the design of the DP again because of this.

I'm not sure if I can get a picture, it's in a real good spot haha. The heat shield makes for very little room to get a picture. It's towards the back, too. Hmmm, you think the nice people at Megan would offer a free exchange when they come out with yet another revised dp?

*** Your best bet is to go with their 02 housing or have them weld
with a right flange, Personally I would just buy the 02 housing...

BTW, Call them up and let them know of such problem, they might give you
a discount towards an 02 housing because of their bad design with the (Down Pipe)

Funny, I was JUST looking at their o2 housings. They seem pretty nice and aren't too expensive. I'll try to contact them and see what they say.

Sorry about bringing up an old thread but I just got the Megan o2 housing installed. It took forever because of backorder and when I did get it, it took me a while to get it installed. I couldn't do it because I couldn't break the bolts loose. I ended up talking to my dad's friend who happens to be a mechanic and he helped me out with it today. We knocked it out in about 2 hours all thanks to his sweet tools. Not one broken bolt and all we had to do was take out the fan. The exhaust leak is FINALLY gone and I have some pics of it installed if anyone wants to see.
