It's silly to pay twice as much for the same product, but with a different name.

Like I said before....PRINCIPLE. I HATE Megan products because they essentially fathered the "knockoff" movement and everyone thinks of them as a legitimate company. To me, it's ridiculous.

But you are absolutely correct, this section of exhaust, minus the 4 separate weld lines is almost unbeatable in price. And OP it was not my intention to thread jack.

I never even knew the Megan o2 housings were a knock off. I figured the Ebay o2 housings were the knock off of those. It seems like 80% of stock framed turbo guys run the Megan units. They are proven. If AWD goes and fabs a new downpipe and releases it, is it considered a knockoff? LOL.

Anyways, I am loving the car. Keep up the good progress!!

This is a bad argument. Would you buy a set of knockoff cams for $100 since you can't see them?

Either way, I'm excited to see her next mod. This build is happening at an insane pace

I, unfortunately, am a man of principle to an extent. Megan is a company that has strived to make knock off products. I was in the Honda scene when Megan was knocking off MUGEN, and to see that this company is this big because of this business practice makes me sick. Companies like this are the reason that other DEVELOPING companies have been going under. Once AMS starts getting knocked off people will understand. I would have paid the extra money for a DP ESPECIALLY with all the $$ spent on the other parts. You're right, there is nothing wrong with the price, but there is a problem with people perpetuating this problem.
The bf could have easily fabricated a downpipe for me but for the price it's not even worth it. It's only a downpipe getting something "name brand" really isn't going to make a difference.

Simple answer to this...trade me the CCWs for my BBS. I will have traction at the track, and you win the approvals of the haters on the board.
