TravisS Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 #2 would be pointless IMO. There are good catted DPs available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetErDun Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I have a MR TBE. On the car for 30k, the DP is a pretty rusted but no problems. I had Boostjunkie install it with no probs. Then again I only paid $120 for it so I cant complain. HP Gains: I got 15 AWHp and 20 lbs torque with no tune (That was for full TBE). I posted the Dyno sheet about 3 years ago. I cn find it if you like? My $0.02 Infamous Tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Don't believe everything you read on forums...I have had an MR UP and DP since 3/08. No problems, issues, etc...it was installed properly with new gaskets. Now I would not touch their coilovers but the Pipes are solid... Rehab is for quitters.

TravisS Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm having issues finding the megan DP thread I was thinking of. Pictures of the bellmouth to flange welds with holes all the way through in some spots.Next best thing is probably this:http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1937581&postcount=270 The UP issues are fairly well documented on these forums. My personal experience came from having it installed by people who literally do this type of thing every day as their job (Steve's Pacific Import Auto). They commented that it was really low quality and required 2 gaskets to get it to seal because the flange was bending when they'd tighten it. You get what you pay for, so there's probably no need to keep beating the horse. Not everything is perfect. The invidia DP I use is known for having a separator on the bellmouth that sometimes needs to be ground down to prevent hitting the flapper on the turbo.

Boostin1657615274 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Also, it appears the MR downpipe has a hammered steel bellmouth as opposed to a cast bellmouth. Worse for heat, and much weaker. Plus those weld have been known for their shittiness. On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 For the price of an ERZ catless DP ($180) why buy a Megan? Your number two question is pointless. Buy a pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I guess we should all get forum lessons from LosAngelesLGT...seems to be forum king. A Megan Racing pipe is a Megan Racing pipe...is it not? Point made...they suck period, uppipe, downpipe doesn't matter the company sucks. You should see the pix of the DP they shipped with a hole in it and took months to replace. All boostjunkie (Megan vendor) would talk about was "Megan racing high quality" :lol: He doesn't even post here anymore. Now he is on nasioc.com like the stuff over here never happend.

TPLGT Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think BJ was run off because the Megan Coilovers were like bombs....LOL... Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
