I had a megan exhaust manifold on my last evo it didnt change the sound. Personally i think it reduced the performance and it ended up cracking after about 2 years. I switched to stock ported and was much happier.

Sell the Megan & pick up a ToxicFab manifold. You won't have to worry about the ToxicFab cracking, it will change the exhaust sound, in a good way. Very little spool lose compared to a ported stocker & top end will be much better. Plus, hes in Houston, so your not far from him. Can't beat ToxicFab quality.

I cant vouch for the megan, but my full race changed the exhaust note a little bit. It sounds more harmonic going through the revs.

When going from a stock manifold, to a ported & coated stock manifold, what changes do you notice?

Less spool?
More top end?
More low end?
