personally i would never buy a catback..you can make that **** yourself. find out wut diamter of piping is best for your setup, buy, or gut your own catylitic converter, and put on a muffler of your choice. its cheaper and just as good

for the price I would look around for a bigger name brand. You could get an rsr,greddy,hks or the like for not much more.

Get an RSR Exmag. You'll want it eventually anyway and anything else is gonna be a waste of money.

I looked at some Kteller piping. 2.5" pipe, resonater, and muffler would be more than the Megan catback...

RS*R exhaust systems cost too much. I don't really see them as much of a performance exhaust anyways. Maybe that's just me but you'd never catch me running any kind of setup other than i/h/e and a stock motor with one, I just can't see them flowing all that great.

Don't be a ricer and spent a crap load on a "brand name" exhaust because it's not going to get you any more power, and in this case probably not any more reliability. The only thing it'll get you is more points with the HT community.

Notice the different opinions? Good luck with your decision. I would personally get a "Real" Greddy SP2.

Dude go to ebay, you can find that same exhaust for less cheaper.

I dont know if many people like Megan Racing parts, but i can tell you out of the people that have (including myself), can tell you their parts are great if not awesome. I have that cat (drift spec or what ever they call it) got that slant like the Nvidia. I also have the Header and a stock cat. Nice deep sound low tone too. there was a thread of someone asking for a rex with that exhaust on.

Now that you mention it, it does almost sound like a WRX....pretty neat lol

I'm pretty sure that the link has the wrong picture in it. Or you will have to fab up a custom mount to have the exhaust on the passenger side of the car.

It looks like a nice product. Lot of people have mixed views on Megan Racing.

I have that setup on my CRX, it sits way too low at the back, but the quality is good. Sounds really nice with the A6, but it is a bit loud. I'l be cutting it and re-positioning it to sit higher under the car.

I like megan racing products and the quality but that exhaust doesnt look good to me,,And Ive seen how it looks in person on a ED,,It doesnt sit right in the back..And the sound was a bit loud ,but not really raspy,more deep sounding..
