Look what I got!!!

[kylelilley]

I just got this yesterday and I thought I'd show it off. It's the Megan Racing 3" cat back. I'm having my timing belt, water pump, all the tensioners and accessory belts replaced on Thursday and I'll have the exhaust installed after that.

Nice let us know how it sounds..

 

[dnhieu]

looking good man. sucks you gotta pay people to work on your stuff tho...

 

[MrBoxx]

I got mine about a year ago. It's still in the box. Hopefully it'll go on with the MR downpipe, Punishment O2, FP intake, and BEP M-trim this spring.

Let me know how that bad boy sounds. Some pics of it installed would be awesome too, if you could spare them.

Is that why you're Mr. Boxx?

Bad joke, I knows.

It's interesting to see the companies that were once considered cheap e-bay knockoff brands to start coming into the mainstream. I guess low price and good quality can't be ignored.

Mine has been great. I put it on the same time as one of those SSauto dumped O2 housings, and it was absolutely terrible. I switched that out for an Evo O2, and all has been good since. My only regret is that it doesn't have a cat, which will be a problem when emissions time comes around.

DUH!!!

It's cute that you show off your exhaust system. I did the same thing after I got mine. Ahhh those were the days, when an exhaust was a HUGE deal to me. Now, I don't get excited over anything that comes in.

Yeah, but I know the head of the service department at a major dealership so I'm getting it at cost! I'm gonna see if he'll throw on the exhaust while there at it.

Yeah, I'll definatly post pics after the install. I'll try to get a video if I can.


I installed the high flow filter W/ adapter today. I love the sound of the car sucking in so much air
I'll get the hard intake pipe and hard intercooler pipes down the road when I deside to shell out even more cash!

 

[Boosted98gsx]

I would say just replace the 1 upper intercooler pipe coming out of the SMIC for now with a dejon unit.


*edit* oh yea, since you have a 95, you have that nice plastic resonator thingy on the lower intercooler pipe too, I would get a replacement lower IC pipe as well.

 

[spooln4fun]

i second that on the UICP, wouldn't hurt to purchase there lower hard pipe as well.

 

[hereitcomes]

then you will really move. that is a damn nice upgrade.

The Megan system is essentially an APexi N1 system, only in full stainless and with a slightly shorter muffler. It should sound amazing under a hard load!

My closest DSM buddy has the exact same car (dark green '95 TSi AWD) and one of his first mods over 4 years ago was a full Thermal R&D system. It still sounds AWESOME to this day; it has been a sufficient size and has lasted through a ton of other upgrades including (4) different turbos (T25, EvoIII 16G, 05H 20G, now an FP Green)!

Yeah, now i just think how much time and effort its going to take to install.

God, I was afraid it was going to be a picture of a canker sore.

Where did you hear that? The Megan system has WAY less bends in it then the N1.

So I got the car back yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the sound of the exhaust. I took it easy driving it home. I basicly just wanted to make sure everything was ok with the belts and such. This morning I cranked the boost up to 16 psi on my way to work and I decided it was time to start ripping on it. When I pulled out onto the first major road I get to on my way to work I stomped on it hard. All I have to say is..................................OMFG!!! The difference with the intake, exhaust and boost turned up to 16 was amazing. I couldn't believe how fast the car got to 60, and beyond, haha. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm upgrading to a 3" downpipe with cat delete and new intercooler pipes!!!

I'll post pics the next time it's sunny.

 

[turbosax2]

Take some videos too!

 

[95CarbonEclipse]

I'm so jealous... I've been wanting that Megan Exhaust for SOOOO long. I'm gonna jump all at once though and get their 3" DP at the same time.

What bov is that in your pic? Tomei?

 

[spooln4fun]

What bov is that in your pic?

Looks to be either a new, or really clean 1g bov

 

[tlikethedrink]

finding a UICP for that EVO MR BOV is gonna be a tuffy... im in the same boat.

i was thinking about making a flange as the BOV base is a 2pc. then i could weld the flange on the pipe instead of the BOV itself. then mount the BOV to the flange....

Does anyone know if its the same as a 1g flange as i hope but seriously doubt it will be?

Yeah, it could be tough.

Yeah I'm in the process of installing my 3'' megan turbo back. The thing is that it does not bolt on to the stock cat as they said it would, so I will be purchasing a 3'' highflow cat on tuesday. I will let you know how that goes

 

[JusMX141]

Why in the world would you plan on necking down a 3" downpipe into a 2.25" cat and then back up to 3" again anyway?
