True but I guess downpipes and a good tune gets you down to 11.5s in the quarter mile. That's like 30-50 awhp. Not bad gains.

FYI to those in this thread interested in Megan racing downpipe for our cars:
Sent an email to them and their reply was if there is a good volume of interest, there may be consideration (in not so many words). Perhaps a group buy could help with Megan's production of a downpipe for our cars. I'd be in. |

Got system installed!
Impressions: It is deep, louder and of performance character. The luxury car feel is gone. Instead, it feels like a performance truck with a harmonious crackling tone. I need more time to get used to it. The quiet ride of D mode is gone. There is no drone. The mod is not reversible, the old muffler cannot be used without adapting a sleeve to it and that will be a lot of work. The muffler guy spent a long time explaining everything about this. Paid 2 hour labor to do a proper installation, lining up, measuring, welding. Welding is imperative to avoid a leak. Cosmetically, it is fantastic. Aurally, it is just as I hoped. Although, I still need to get used to it not sounding like a BMW inside. It sounds like a modded car. GoPro will go on later this weekend. |

Did more driving. The sound is crackly and deep. Cruising is acceptable, although there is a slight loss of comfort in a long drive at highway speed.
Quality of craftsmanship is good, although it is not stainless. This is a chrome finish system made in Taiwan. Driving hard is very enjoyable, the sound is very rewarding. Hope this helps. |

No ECU tune.
I drove 300 miles with the Megan this weekend. Definitely, the sound is great. I highly recommend this mod. Vids later this week. |

The MEGAN system is seasoning in - a little deeper and is not producing drone. After acclimating to the sound, this feels natural and unobtrusive.
I recommend this mod 100%. Vids still to come... |

Really??!! for two mandrel bent sections of stainless? tig welded flanges and an O2 bung welded on.give me access to a mandrel bender and a clean tig, and will make my own in an afternoon are you sure this is NOT stainless??? The ad said it was a complete s/s muffler. see if a magnet sticks to it

Yes, I received it. They need to reauthorize before the send it. I dont know why. They called me and asked for the 3 digit security on my CC and then they shipped it. They will not ship without verbal verification. just send them an email and a number they can call you at.
