Boostjunkie Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thanks for all the comments guys. I double checked the y-pipe and it is 2.5". The midpipe is 3". All of it is 304 stainless. BTW, good eye there BoxerGT2.5. The right muffler's alignment is a little off, right now. That is one of the things being worked on right now. Rodan: The tips on the MR system are staggered like yours. The outside tip probably needs to be about .25" shorter to make it a touch more noticeable. BTW, are your tips 2.25"? Looks like it in the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mblock66 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Update on piping sizes? (to 'y' and post 'y') 2.5" FTW, and I would suggest staggering a la STI exhaust (or the Rodan Mk 1 Mod 0 system ) http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=16254&d=1143330561 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5395&d=1110935648 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5398&d=1110935648 Wow those look great! So that is staggered angle cut dual tips. What are the diameter of those pipes in that pic 2.5" they look fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Wow, 304 stainless! Crucial better get their guys to hurry-up on the LGT prototyping - or I foresee losing some customers to this setup! I've had quite a bit of Megan stuff in the past on my DSMs, and for their cost, they're nice stuff. Hoping this will carry-through to this CBE! Can't wait to see it released! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen are you going over to the dark side....... If Megan is 2 months away from production on this then I still think Jeremy is on that timeline. He just needs to get his prototype up with pics to counter this offereing.... Should be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 This is so beautiful!!! all 3"s of it!! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/MeganRacingCatback003.jpg In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thanks for the compliments! My tips are 2.25", but I think 2.5" will look better, and I'm planning to make a set of 2.5" tips when I get moved into the new house... Although, if the tips come out right, the rest of this Megan system looks very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-gorithm Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 These tips are 2.5" but I think 2.75" will fit perfect (in the process of making)... You need 1" of stagger for the tips to follow the bumper curve. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=319256&postcount=200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 looks nice, but hard to tell from pics. My monitor here at work is too black...too much contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmorris Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Nice! Deffinately at least need 2.5" These tips are 2.5" but I think 2.75" will fit perfect (in the process of making)...

MDork Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 still look too low to me and probably too small on the wagon. best looking dual tip yet though. nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-gorithm Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Yeah because they are off the stock muffler... When I put them on the new mufflers, i will have them seated higher and tucked alot better but I will let you know how the 2.75" fit. I will try to take some better pictures today of the 2.5". Dusk has a nice effect on RBP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Al's setup is definitely one of the best looking I've seen. Replicating that would do us all well, IMHO. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Al's setup is definitely one of the best looking I've seen. Replicating that would do us all well, IMHO. +1 2.5" looks just about perfect. Needs a little more stagger, and I prefer angle cut myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisn2me2 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 love the sytem still tryin to feel the tips. i dunno!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redline76 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 +1 2.5" looks just about perfect. Needs a little more stagger, and I prefer angle cut myself... 2.5 fits perfectly but looks aftermarket. I think 2.25" is the better choice as it could be mistaken for stock (better integrated) These are 2.5".... just a hair too big IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 tips are too small, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 It's done. I spoke with them yesterday and told them to go with 2.5" tips, and to increase the amount of stagger on the tips. Should look a lot like the setup posted by al-gorithm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Boostjunkie, Are the tipps gonna be rolled too??!!! Are they? Are they??!!! In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robust Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 are they going to be thin wall tips (bimmer style)? i like those much better than rolled ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 are they going to be thin wall tips (bimmer style)? i like those much better than rolled ones. The tips will be thin walled. I personally like that look much better than rolled tips, and I'm going for a M5'ish look with the Megan Racing CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmorris Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Now you're really getting me excited. I've been waiting a long time for the right catback. By the way, how is that drone/resonance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
