Why pay a lot more for a part you can't even see??? Spend the money you save on parts that matter, like tires! Truth be told, all an exhaust is, is some bent piping. I love my Megan. If you want a name brand muffler just weld it on. That's how I see it...

lol reminds me when i was young i couldn't afford Sean John so i ordered a logo and just sowed it on

hehe baller!!

The cool thing i was the only guy with that limited edition sean john shirt.

The vendors on these boards SUPERB! I've gotten such great deals on Invidia parts, wheels, gauges, etc... Def take a look at the vendors. Oh and +1 for building gains on budget. Your setup was what I was going with next.

Also take a look at the private sellers section. I got a couple great deals on parts and misc interior parts from class A people on these boards. My setup is:

Invidia O2, Mackin Industries DP (still up in the air but most likely getting it from RRE when I get my car tuned), Invidia TP, and Megan CBE. All 3" Check out TopSpeed vendor thread they have great parts and SUPER fast shipping I got my housing in less than 24 hours.

Sorry bro, it sold, I have payment in hand. But I saw some stock turbo gaskets in the for sale section the other day. I would replace it if you have it apart. might as well.

I've got a megan and the quality is ok. I spent a lot of time cleaning it up on the inside. I wish I took before and after pictures for reference. Fyi, I'm not selling it, but just giving you a heads up. MAKE SURE the wastegate merger port is big enough before you install it. I bought a new one off a local guy and he already enlarged the hole, but apparently not enough. I found out when I took the time to install it! So I have to take it off (and all the crap to get to it) enlarge the port and see how she works.

I asked someone on here who had the same problem as me for pics of the hole for a size reference, but he didn't have any. He told me he eventually made it golf ball size-ish.

It made my boost "chatter" like crazy in higher gears. Wastegate flapper was probably going nuts trying to control the boost.

I just put mine on last weekend, so I'm taking it off soon and enlarging the port even more. Talk about a total waste of time. Learn from my mistake and do it right the first time

found that on here...anybody else have this problem?
