megan racing

we have almost all seen the megan racing stuff on Ebay for next to nothing prices. has anyone gotten any of the items? down pipes, high flow cats? do they make a difference that you noticed? is install fairly easy?

I have thier downpipe and cat and they are both great products. Very good for the money and I see no reason to not buy them. The install was easy just like any other vendor.

I am sure if you use the search function you will find lots of info.

I installed their tubular header and saw a drop in boost and performance. The size of the tubing they use is smaller than the area of the exhaust port. I was in the process of port matching the inlet to my gaskets when I cracked one of the tubes. Not a good experience but they sure are cheap.
I also bought their O2 housing and downpipe only to find out that they aren't the same size. Even though they sell them as a kit. The O2 housing is 2.75" outlet and the downpipe is 3" inlet. They haven't returned my email.

Call them...if you ordered directly from them they will give you great service. 909-598-8082

The O2 housing is designed to be used with a stock or aftermarket downpipe that is why it is 2.75"

I bought their 3" downpipe. I've had it for 3months now with no problems. The install isnt that easy becuase it wont clear the lower tie bars so I had to remove them. I got the dp for 85$$. its a good price.

That is an Unbelievable price considering that the 3" down pipe cost a lot more than that wholesale with out shipping. what did you pay for shipping and was it used? Even on ebay the go for $160 or more
