PGT Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 wow, it looks like the exhaust will meet or exceed everyone's expectations! any word on a wagon fitment? this is good news, pending a fitment for us wagon peeps. I'd imagine you could sell 20+ units for the wagon in no time flat. I'll buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymesbry Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 this exhaust is BEAUTIFUL in person people. totally perfect exhaust.. I hope this fits the 08! *fingers crossed* you know you're definitely first in line when i get the 08 paul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandonhope16 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 So, around $600 shipped is what the group buy price could potentially be? I'm assuming there will be a group buy. Oh, and great work on being on top of this entire exhaust release; with the pics and vids and dyno. All very appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Any idea of MR is going to offer just the mid and Y? (basically the catback minus the mufflers/axel back) I like the price, but I'm turned off by the quad tip (straight cut) setup. I love the way it sounds and the dynos are great! Different strokes for different folks i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different strokes for different folks i guess. most likely not because this catback system was not built with OEM changable parts in mind, so if parts (matching lengths, flanges, etc..) are swapable, it's purely coincidents...you can't get anything better at this price, but as far as looks wise, it's all subjective (like you said) In Taiwan now...

panamajack Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Nice work Paul. If only other vendors, manufactures, and distributors would do post production testing like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Any chance of a Limited Edition with fancier tips? I'm not a big fan of single-wall. This exhaust would look GREAT with some nice rolled or double-wall tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpetty Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well, I have to admit, it looks much better than the earlier versions. Does anybody have experience running a stainless system like this in the rust belt? It looks nice now, but I am thinking after a winters worth of road salt, it would start to get pretty rusty?

Abandonhope16 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I would agree on making the tips look a little nicer, that would class it up a bit; or even if they were thicker. As for rust, isnt the advantage to stainless steel, that fact that it shouldnt rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the single-walled tips and don't know if rolled/double-walled tips will be available, but wouldn't aftermarket/Kragen/Pep Boys slide-on tips work? In Taiwan now...

TSiWRX Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Boostjunkie cited 304 stainless - you should be fine in even the snow-belt..... <-- 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...
StealthGT Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I was there yesterday for Paul's dyno comparo on the Megan v. Stock catbacks. Those dyno figures are completely accurate. No monkey-business. Run on the dyno with the Megan. Move car. Exchange exhaust system. Back on dyno again. No ECU tuning involved. Got to take a short ride in Paul's LGT with the Megan on. Sounds really nice. Muted idle with just a tad of burbling rumble. Under normal driving nearly stock quiet with just a nice sound. And WOT sounds much meaner than stock - a really good combination of around-town quiet and boy-racer roar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well, I have to admit, it looks much better than the earlier versions. Does anybody have experience running a stainless system like this in the rust belt? It looks nice now, but I am thinking after a winters worth of road salt, it would start to get pretty rusty? Morgan The system is 100% stainless steel.... they stuff that DOESN'T rust (well, is extremely rust resistant). If you live in the snow belt, a stainless steel exhaust is exactly what you want.

Daedalus Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Or you could buy my perrin y/center pipe and I'll get the megan exhaust. Matt How's the Perrin fit? I heard that Perrin translated into, "Needs modifications to make fit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I like the single-walled tips and don't know if rolled/double-walled tips will be available, but wouldn't aftermarket/Kragen/Pep Boys slide-on tips work? :lol: Part of the reality of a "mass production" item, and the pricing advantages that come with it, is that not everyone can have it exactly their way. Megan Racing may consider producing a version with different style tips in the future, but as of right now, what I have posted in this thread is what is coming. I know that it is not for everyone. Nothing is. Different strokes for different folks. I know that many people love the look. I know that some are okay with it, while others favor another style altogether. My hope is that the people on the fence about the look will see that they are getting an exhaust that is dyno proven, makes all the right sounds and is built to the same quality standards as other options priced 50% higher. Heck, if you really want some different tips on it, you could buy them on your own, weld them up and still spend less than on some other exhausts on the market.

Daedalus Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Another question. Any issues fitting the exhaust with an upgraded rear sway? Don't some exhausts have clearance issues when a Cusco or similar rear sway is installed? My only problem with the quad tips is that I'll have to buy 4 whistle tips! WooWoo!
