car_guy1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Is it worth the extra 100 bucks for the "divorced" feature in the Invidia downpipe? or is the megan just as good for a great price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The main difference is not the divorce, it's the fact that the invidia has a cast bellmouth, and the Megan is just a hammered out pipe with a flange welded on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RdiggA Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 i have the MR, i would go for the invidia if i could do it again because when i put my car into reverse the DP hits something underneath, my perrin setup before did not do this. Pay the extra money and get a better quality piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous1 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Inf: You're running a MR DP? :lol: It is techically not broke, so why fix it? It will be replaced sometime, but the wife can only take so much modding. Especially when replacing a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeleodee Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 A buddy and I installed my Invidia and we were both very impressed with the build quality and fitment. I was tempted to leave it on the dining room table because it was so pretty, but decided against it. I haven't seen the MR piece in person, but I can testify that you will not go wrong with the Invidia. Check out the group buy forum as AJW may be getting one going. Sounds like you might get a great deal if enough participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Invidia looks sexy... MR, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innovative Tuning Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 We've used both. The funny part is the MR DP for 02-07 WRX/STI fits great and works well. For those I'd totally say save the money and go MR, but they just didn't get it right for LGT so I'd say Invidia. Remember there are a lot of brands out there that do some things well and others poorly. For example...Perrin FMIC (awesome cooling/fitment/look), swaybars (seem to be least likely to rust) vs. Perrin turbo inlet hose (collapsible surprise) and big MAF intake (huge steps right next to a MAF do interesting things to readings LOL).
