Dejon or MR?

[lordnikon_04]

It's that time that i need to decide which exhaust. After reading literally hours of posts on both i want to know what some of your opinions are. I want to get a Evo3 O2 with the system but don't know for sure. I am going to get dp and catback at the same time no matter what, which is good because they won't bolt up otherwise. Anyways, what do you guys think about everything with those two, price, performance, quality, looks, customer service?

I would say Megan Racing. I have this system on my 1g and its awsome. I believe that it has more straight design on the cat back than the Dejon Tool one. Dejon Tool also makes good quality products but my vote goes to Megan Racing. You say that you want to install an evo III o2 housing. I won't fit with these down pipes. Unless you do some sorf of modification to the down pipe. I don't know about Megan Racing but if you contact Dejon Tool and ask them about a down pipe that will fit the evo o2 housing, they might help you.
Or you can always buy an o2 housing from punishment racing or straight line specialist. I'm also in the market for a good quality o2 housing. I done my research and now I'm debating between these 2 companies. Both are awsome and have great customer service.

I'd say go with MR, they make a pretty decent product for very cheap, my friend with a GST got a MR downpipe, he mated up to a Greddy catback, it doesn't sound that nice, but I'm into LOUD exhaust. His car doesn't sound that deep either, but then again the greddy catback was never loud.

The downpipe was very clean, welds were perfect, and you just can't beat the price, fitment was perfect too, he couldn't get a hanger to fit in right, but he was in a hurry.

I plan on getting a MR 3" turboback when I have the funds. Quality at an affordable price.

I don't know how much money you plan on spending (but then again a 2G GSX deserves the best anyways ) but I chose a 3" dp from RRE (starts off at 2.5" and expands to 3"), which was top notch quality and paired it with a 3" Espelir exhaust system. Price is a little more than MR but the quality is there, and everything fit perfectly. And the 2.5" inlet on the dp means any of the aftermarket o2 housings will install (not the factory EVO 3 though)

VRS is great exhaust dejon welds i'm not to sure about and megan's isnt a true 3 inch

 

[lordnikon_04]

Hideki, how much(if any) boost creep do u get with that 3"dp since it's only 2.5" up top? And how big is the MR catback truly if it's not 3"?

RRE does make a downpipe that bolts up to the EVO3 O2 Housing for all models with and without a cat. As far as I know, they're the only company that does.

And dejon does make a downpipe specifically for the evo3 o2 housing. But we get my girlfriends catbck from megan today so we will so how i like that when it's all done.

I got the first run of dejon exhaust over a year ago. It's an awesome system, especially for the price. You get your choice of muffler and options galore. Personally i'd go dejon, they're tried and true dsm parts.

And i don't like how megan tends to neck down at weird places (ie, stock cat location).

Dejon exhaust with the same muffler he sells now (though i put that one on myself a while ago).

We just got my girlfriends MR catback for her ESi and it does neck down at the cat but we still have the stock cat but do they still neck down if you buy their 3" turbo series dp and catback?

yep necks down,and Dejon exhaust" you get what you pay for
once again VRS is the way to go and the can do anything you want as far as options go just ask or go through me(i'm a vrs and dejon dealer) Don't get me wrong dejon makes great products that why i sell them but they're new to exhaust and i try not to sell products that i'm not too sure about

 

[staticbrainwash]

Did you listen to my clip? It's an amazing exhaust. I can vouge for it. My buddy has the piping kit from dejon too, and loves it.

 

[vr4gasmtt]

Not to jack your thread but what do people mean that the MR downpipe necks down to 2.5? Does it go 3" - 2.5" - and hten back to 3" for the catback part? Someone plese enlighten me.

 

[lordnikon_04]

Can anyone tell me which one should give more power? It looks like the MR has fewer bends but the necking down kind of worries me. And what kind of power gains against a VRS dp and catback would these yield?

 

[pooker]

Mr all the way they have the best quality in my opinion.

 

[92awd6bolt]

I had a megan dp and it necks down at the flanges at the 02 and the cat it necks down to 2.5 but welds to a 3" flange and the piping seemed thinner than my vrs. My vrs turboback gave about 20 hp but the spool is where it shines the vrs sounds similar to the dejon in the sense that they both use magnaflow mufflers. And not to bash static but he seems new to the dsm MOD world(profile) but when you see the first option and go with it, you don't really look for what else is out there

I am actually quite offended by that comment. Just because THIS car doesn't have many mods doesn't mean i am not an informed member of this board. And why you would draw that conclusion anyway is beyond me. Nothing i said would lead me to think that.

Just because i'm hyping the dejon exhaust? Whats wrong with that? I've heard and tried a couple and i am very satisfied with the dejon. Especially for the price. I was simply putting in MY experience between the 2 exhausts asked. Not offering up more expensive alternatives like the vrs. I got my WHOLE dejon turboback for 500 bucks.

And to answer the question about power. In 3" mandrel bent, at any of our realistic power levels, a couple more bends btwn exhausts won't make a difference. That being said, i'm sure at some point it WOULD make a difference. Just as like at some point in power you would out flow a 3" exhaust.

I would also like to see where you got the #'s to prove you gained "20hp" from the vrs.

Edit: Also, how can you base my dsm knowledge off of my mod list? Maybe i don't have much money, maybe i'm content with where my car sits as a DD. You don't know any of that. So i'm sorry i sound bitcy, but that was a VERY ignorant comment.

I'm not trying to affend anyone, simply sayin usually the more mods you have the more exprience you have with these cars. also the more mods you have the more aftermarket products you've had first hand Also the power gain is an estimate from my personal car in general most exhaust will give similar power gains if they're 3" mandrel bent, but what you do pay for is piece of mind. WHen you pay a little more you get fitment,quality, and durability. This is my opinion Vrs is the best bang for the buck based on how much they cost and how it performs compared to the other exhaust i've owned. OVerall i think the vrs turboback is the best exhaust for the money($630 shipped from Rentechmotorsports.com with dsmtuners discount)

No, you assume you know my level of experience based solely on one cars profile. You don't know what experience i have with anything, so for you to assume, yes is offensive. That would be like looking at someone with a stock car, and YEARS of experience (as believe it or not, i do have), and assuming they know nothing or have no experience. Oh wait, you JUST did that to me.

Look, in the long run, get what you want. All we can do is give you our own opinions.

I had zero fitment issues with my dejon, nor has anyone else i know. So when it comes down to it. You can pay 700 ish bucks for the vrs, 500ish for MR, or 500ish for dejon. Do what you want.

Have you even had personal experience with MR or dejon, or thermal?

 

[jongreene]

Static knows exactly what he is talking about and his knowledge for DSM's isnt justified by his mod profile.
To judge someones skill level and experience by mods in the profile?....are we in highschool?
btw I got my FULL exhaust, muffler included, from dejon for under $500.
Sounds just as good or better than any 3 inch piping ive heard on a DSM.

zero fitment issues, adjustable hangers even.

 

[lordnikon_04]

I don't mean to offend the Dejon fans but the only reviews i have seen at all on this site for the dejon exhaust are for 1g's. Does anyone have any pics or sound clips of the dejon on a 2g? I have sound clips, vids, and pics of vrs and mr but none of dejon on a 2G.

 

[pur97tsifwd]

mr products are really good it only necks down the downpipe to make it easier to install and fit 02 housings its cheap good quaility and its stainless steal so it wont ever rust get meagan racing that clip of the 2g fwd is my car i still own it and i now own a awd 1g and i now am putting on the meagan racing exhaust from dp all the way back i am really happy with it and it was much cheaper

 

[92awd6bolt]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that's simply what i stated. Yes i do have experience with MR i had their down pipe and wasn't a fan of it(my opinion) All opinions based on dejon exhaust has been based on the welds i've seen in pics, who knows maybe i spent why too much on my exhaust i just can't get myself to like the dejon EXHAUST. I also never stated that static didn't know what he was talking about, there's a diff between knowledge and experience(with aftermarket) parts
