Hey everyone. Ive been browsing the forum for a while, and decided to finally join up.
Ive just odered a 97" civic ek9 Type R from Japan, that should be arriving in a couple of months. Have any of you guys on here got one?

Also just a quick one about Megan Racing products - (Drift Spec cat back).
Alot of dudes over here in the UK knock Magans products, especially when I suggested putting one onto my civic type r. Has anyone had any experience with this exhaust?
Would I be able to fit this exhaust to an ek9 (b16b)? From what I undersatnd the jdm cats are shorter than the ukdm and usdm cats?

Thanks for any info

 

Megan products, while not horrible, are for the most part just inferior quality. They do not have the same RnD into them as some of the more 'top shelf' parts -- mostly because their parts are design copies.

x2 do not put on CTR.

 

Point taken guys. What other exhausts would you suggest? Basically I want something that nice and deep, not raspy/high pitched. It also has to be not loud when cruising, but lets rip in vtec/higher rpm range. I was always lead to believe that out of all Megan products, the exhausts were actually good?
My friend has one on his ek4 vti, and it sounds just how I'd wan't my ek9 to sound. So much for gettin that one

 

I like my Megan Racing Short shifter and exhaust. The other **** I've bought from Megan is being sold off..

Skunk2 MegaPower exhaust FTW as well as Apexi WS2.

 

tanabe Super MEdallion sounds good to me.

 

RSR i got the ex mag on my hatch and my bro has the same on on his h2b integra. sound clean as ****, not to loud or quiet. replace the cat. w/ a test pipe and get some headers then that **** would sound real nice

 

I like my megan exhaust. nice noise. its like what ever. i rather get a BC spec II imo. louder

 

Yeah great idea! Let's have no back pressure and backfire/pop all the way down the road sounding like a jet turbine flying down the road.

@ EkLanta and ke98248, how dyou rate the megan exhaust in terms of qulity, welds etc?

Someone also suggested a hks hi power silent exhaust system too

 

if you are gonna get a CTR, dont stimp on parts, then you look like a douche haha

tanabe makes good exhaust, and i really like the skunk2, and i heard the buddy club one is nice too apexi makes a good one too

 

lol. Ye I see where your coming from about putting cheap parts on a CTR. But money aside, the drift spec sounds exactly as I'd want my car to sound. The Tanabe smr sounds pretty cool, but Ive not heard the skunk2 in person, only on youtube etc

 

I'd say A. It's worked perfect for a year and still going strong.

 

Hmm, man I'm confused. I do see the point that others have made that only top quality products should be used on the ctr, but the megan racing drift has impressed me from what Ive seen of it on my friends car.Decisions, decisions

 

Your car is FWD.

Send those drift dreams out the window.

 

he never said he was gonna drift.... it's just the name of the product line

anyway I'm from the UK also and have my eye on a world sport II, seems to match what you've described you're looking for. not too obtrusive for a daily drive but lets rip at high RPM's. however, getting these into the country isn't cheap ( £500 plus for the full system ) so bear that in mind!!

 

Rights Guys. Bit of an update on this. My exhaust fabricator is not moving away till next year now, so he can build me an exhaust for the ek9. Ive got one on my starlet turbo at the moment, and the build quality is second to none.
Hes mainly deals in turbo cars, not n/a so I was just wondering is there any specific spec I should ask the exhaust to be built to, i.e. resonators, pipe diameter etcIn order to get the above sound and performance?

The one on my car now, is straight through, with no resonators etc, but obviously, n/a cars sound different to turbos.
He told me to stick to 2-2.25inch with a 1.6 n/a?

 

get the apexi world sport 2 great sounding exusht and super quite.. i love mine.

 

r u building the car for u? or for H-T... not saying anyones wrong or right but if u like the way it sounds and no other exhausts sound the way u want but that one... then get that one? ur the one who will be driving it in the end... everyone is gonna tell u there personally opinions, like me i like the apexi N1, had it on my crx sounded mean... but u might not... go with what will make u step out of ur car with a hard on...

 

and I love my THERMAL R&D CL System. Sounds awesome and it's full stainless steel 2.5 inch.

 

The welds on Megan products break I know from experience, had a header and test pipe on my EP. I live in AZ and do not put them through bad weather at all the welds broke on both products.

 

Megan racing = Made in China

and if you watch the news you already know what that means

2.5'' mandrel bent piping
high flow cat
22'' resonator
muffler of your choice with 2.5'' inlet

pair that up with a toda header, argueably the best OTS header for a b16b, and you've got one hell of a setup to build on.

 

i never dynoed my car so i dont know. get it if you want its good. save your money and get a buddy club spec II
