i shouldn't reply, but whatever. how come your never read or see any proof about a megan product giving any great gains.i've never see it.not once.maybe i should look harder.i'm on evom 24/7 for the last year.haven't seen what there full turbo back does.i haven't seen anyone do a run with megan products and come back to the board saying it's the best.cause its not.when somebody says they have a megan TB,i think about that person being a cheap ***(your in this column now MagicNinja).megan products are as close to being the apc of evo parts.on to your question.
Do you work for Helix or something?
If i did work for helix i would not put down another business.that wouldn't be good for sales when theres megan lackeys around.
Megan = crap and why, because you say so?
yes i already said want i think about there products.
Any proof to offer us at all other then the comment that your friend had a good experience?
no hard #'s/no track times.just another ebay company.product=apc.
See that doesn’t work out very well does it?
it works.the three loyal megan lovers can't help thiscompany to be make any better of a product.
i'm glad your happy with them.my option still stands.megan=crap.until i see some good proof,lets say an 11 sec evo with all megan parts(not happing,but let's just say it does),maybe i'll change my mine.

 

I think your problem is that Megan does not produce a full line of products for the EVO. They make what they can make easily and affordably. They don't specialize in one line of cars like most tuner shops and they make all the products they make pretty well. So this would make them like AEM, but I don't see you bagging that company. I don't know why an idiot would pay for an overpriced intake. I can make an intake with a few hours of work and some pipe for 1/5 the price of what most intakes cost.

The same goes for IC piping, why the hell would anyone pay $500+ for IC piping, when you could make it. I understand that this is a 30k car, but come on! If you have the skill, then do it.

If the difference in price makes them a cheap "Ebay company" then why do retail stores on the Internet sell Megan products.

You shouldn't have replied, nor should you have said "Buy Helix", I was asking about a certain product not what array of producers I can find for an O2 housing.

BTW EVOTEXAS is using MR exhaust as part of his car to compliment his performance setup. If you fail to see how one 3" pipe differs from another you are severely misunderstood.

All Flaming aside, Megan Racing is a good company, with a good reputation, with many happy users, could you ask for more?

 

AEM is a great company.lots of racing history to back them up.they offer the best stand alone right now.the only piece they make thats sh*tty is there intake for the evo .besides that i'm all for AEM.the only major retail company around here that offers megan is lancer shop.all of the other companies know to stay away from the stuff.i'll say it again because you don't understand.i said buy helix because it's a better product.if thats not clean,stop posting like i'm trying to sell you it.having different bends does make a differents in the flow of an 3' downpipe.i didn't misunderstand anything.all exhaust pieces are not the same.i replyed just to help you from making a bad choice.now i'm just replying to bug ya,and take you thread, which is retarded.

 

I just bought the Megan Racing O2 housing. It should be here in 5 or less days.

 

You’re funny, thanks for the insight in to your brain it made my day. I hope you enjoy wasting tons of money on your oh so well made parts from all the companies with 11 sec. evos because that’s what makes something good. It must have nothing to do with the products them selves only if they have dyno #’s (easily adjusted to show you more HP and sell you names)/track times and the time improvements they make listed for each part (conditions very with every run, just because some one made a good track time 1 day doesn’t give you the slightest clue if a part is good or not) and can make the 11 sec. evo with only there parts are they worthy! Wait you said “helix is great” and not crap where is the ALL Helix 11 sec. evo at? Hmm this does not compute… error error. I guess my cheap *** will keep on spending less of my hard earned money on names. But to each there own, I mean what ever floats your boat right? I would rather be a cheap *** with a nice car then a Dip$%!& with no $ but that’s just me I guess.

But really what is your idea of the best turbo outlet? As stated before a 3” pipe is a 3” pipe is a 3” pipe. If it is made of the same material and same specifications then how is one better and the other one carp? I mean what’s the difference? More power (a few ponies maybe), sounds better, looks better, lighter, oh wait I know what the difference is THE NAME and the PRICE, get it? I guess not. AH well! F#$@ it!!!!! Lets all go get a HKS header and call it a day! oh and the only thing retarded about this thread is you posting your useless comments……..

ZEUS here are some pix for you.

 

Thanks, got a more focused pic of #2. I'm most interested in the turbine, wastegate merge. It looks like the only way to go for the buck right now pending fitment.

PS from what I'm seeing, it looks like the merge is definitely better than the Helix...

 

same here...only 110 shipped..cant beat that price...i will install and get some picts when it arrives...

 

 

good one Zeus
I also beleive that many people are name followers and do not actually know the real difference between quality and "crap". I would bet my life that most folks would not know the difference between a MR downpipe or a Buschur, Helix etc,. Trust me when I say that all it takes is a nice lazer etched nameplate for most guys to buy in. Truth is that I have some experience, about 10 years of it, as a tech (not a magazine reader) and I can vouch for MR as producing a shockingly well built downpipe and exhaust at a price that confuses most into thinking that it must be "crap". In reality there prices are what every other company should be charging for PIPES, after all they are PIPES, stainless steel PIPES, not ingenous mechanical masterpieces, just PIPES

Here the focus is beter in this 1.

 

I would also go with Helix but I have nothing against Megan because I have never used them. A larger o2 housing is a good cheap mod almost the same as running a cat delete. You get better turbo spool and approx. 6 to 8whp. evo81 does like his brands and there nothing wrong with that when you have the cash flow. This thread went in the wrong direction from the start.

 

i don't think i said helix is great.helix is good,but not great.the only reason i brought helix up it's was one of the only other o2 housings thats seems to be a great deal on.wasn't saying that the companys themself were making great #'s.it showns with the people on-line who are using the products,and making great times/#'s.your right,helix dosen't have a 11 sec evo.stop talking about helix.were talking about Megan.the only think i can say about the whole $$$ thing is that i have cash to spend.maybe if i didn't have the cash to spend,i would be in a different mindset.i'm looking at the pics you posted nobody needs an new o2 housing on the stock turbo.that just seems like the biggest waste of cash. i also never said anything about hks.its funny how you would think that if spending more cash on items,you think of HKS.i think a lot of people are brainwash into thinking HKS is the best 'cause there products cost the most.i'm glad i made your day also.its been fun debating with you guys.looking forward to replying again.

 

 

On a different note if you look at some o2 housing they are close to $300 and Helix is $215 the Megan one is ??? not sure but anyways it's either cheap metal, bad company name or just the fact that they don't rape people like HKS. HKS had bulit up there name and maybe someday so will Megan then we can say f them as well.

 

Did you read the other posts? Larger o2 housings are nothing like running a cat delete pipe. The catalytic converter is by far the most restrictive component of an exhaust system. If you replace the o2 housing and leave the stock converter your gain will be minimal. The exhaust should always be up graded from the muffler forward to the engine with one exception, the cat. It obviously will not produce much of a gain to increase you o2 housing size and then funnel it in to the stock down pipe, cat, mid pipe and muffler. If you replace your cat with a straight pipe or at least a high flow cat with less resistance it will make a much grater difference in power over replacing the o2 housing first. Then it’s time for a muffler, mid pipe, then a down pope and last but not least the o2 housing for best results. It has nothing to do with cash flow to buy the part; it is the fact that you are paying more for the exact same thing with a different name. MR outlet retails from MR for $199 but can be fount on ebay for less like most anything.
