Megan Racing is high quality, economically priced and a brand we have used on our own vehicles. Robotic tig welds, warranty and cost to manufacture based on monetary trade rates and cost of labor is the reason why their products are so cost effective.

We are stocking the Evo 8-10 exhaust systems at the current time. Anyone interested please send us a PM.

Quality looks horrible on the first one. Second looks a little better, but I'll have to pass on both.

Why do you say that? Looks fine to me, maybe I'm missing something. The bends look pretty good and are probably better than a bunch of short pipes welded together. This looks like a good, cheap option for those of us who want a 3 inch exhaust that is quiet.

i sell their parts on ebay when i use to do it part tym, and i use them on my s2k and m3, and i have no complaints on their products. my s2k is boosted and im using their coilovers for my m3 (their coilovers are made by same company as apex coilovers and function form only thing is megan charge less than them).

megan is a good product.

That vid the exhaust is super quiet because the stock cat is in place. Put on a test pipe, and I bet she'll rumble fiercely.

Sure it'll rust but how fast can it rust if you plan to only keep your car 2-5 years and then trade it in for another better version of the car? Even by the time it starts to rust to a point where it's close to not being usable, you would of sold the car by then. Now if you use the Evo for track only, I doubt you drive it in a snow/salt covered track. Dents and chips are inevitable no roads are perfect without rocks and pebbles. For the price it is, it'll work one way or another for those that are on a budget. If having a indestructible exhaust that will last you forever is your thing, more power to you. Just don't come in here trying to convince people avoid mild steel made exhaust, they aren't made cheaply quality wise, they are just made for budget in mind.

Was just pointing out the not so obvious, genius. Just about all aftermarket exhausts are stainless. If you bothered to actually read the other posts, you would have noticed I happen to like the Megan.
