Megan Racing or Helix Cat-Back Exhaust?

I'm trying to decide between purchasing a cat back system from either megan racing or helix. Yes, I know the megan racing system is cheaper,but which is better made, has better sound, and/or better performance? Discuss.

Helix hands down. I saw the exhaust when I was purchasing mY HKS. the quality was excellent, from the welds to the bends. The exhaust is fully polished and it is a true 3" exhaust. Their customer service is unbeatable, and I think there is a warranty on the exahust too. Helix win my vote.

I am getting the Megan turboback. All their stuff looks excellent and is a good price as well. All welds are nice and so are the bends. The local shop here has been trying to get me to get it for awhile and I told him that I was not going to get it until I saw one so he ordered one for an eclipse and it looks really nice. Plus I am paying $805 for everything.

I have the Helix catback and am very impressed with the quality, sound, and "bling factor".

Helix. I have a few of there products and I am very happy with them. This is the only other exhaust I would get besides my HKS 30th.

Do you have any sound clips? I'm torn between the HKS 30th and the Vishnu, but the Helix looks right about there, what's it cost?

With a 3" downpipe and cat the Helix sounds wonderful -- surprisingly mellow at idle, deep and throaty during normal driving, and fiercely loud under WOT. The robotic TIG welds are nice, too. I recommend.
