There's so much fake/replica stuff on eBay it's not even funny. Always buy from an authorized dealer.

I would even advise not getting megan catbacks, I have had a few dsm cars and I have ran into trouble with fitment and length issues. Now their coilovers are great that's one thing I love

The seller is claiming that this is 100% and he is located near Megan Racing headquarters. I am not sure who to believe here. I emailed Megan Racing to get to the bottom of this. Has anyone purchased from this seller?

Maybe they're trying to get rid of it. I'd never buy a Megan cbe. For that price, I can pick up a nice Buschur exhaust from the forums.

There seems to be a lot of bad information in this thread. That exhaust is exactly what the new style Megan exhaust looks like.

There are no fitment issues with the Megan exhaust, thenew style exhaust fits both the VIII and IX perfectly. I should know i just installed one last month on my IX.

However, the black Megan exhaust is not stainless steel so you might be better off avoiding the black version and getting the stainless steel version. I got the ss version and painted the muffler black myself.

Knock off MEGAN ****?! Holy hell I need to get out of the game if companies are trying to bite Megan's style. A knock off of a knock off...it's a paradox

Megan isn't even that great of a brand to begin with and now they are bootlegging it? Wow, what's next bootleg razo and tenzo-r.
