no with stock it wont be much louder. but if you mix your tp's with an aftermarket CB its another story my man :tup:

Better than the Stillen exhaust.

I don't know if it's just me because I've welded up a few exhausts myself, but I realize that all of this stuff is the same. You're paying for a brand name in most cases, or for the alleged R&D of a relatively simple set of pipes. The only thing you're really gambling when you buy an exhaust like this is fitment.

I'm tempted to buy this and just add in a cross piece to make it an H-pipe system.

wrong.. not all exhausts are made the with the same quality steel etc.. buddy of mine has megan headers and hes on his 3rd set because the welds keep cracking, megan keeps replacing them but I wouldnt even bother.. and thats just one example of many all over the internet. but there is no winning this argument. Megan parts are cheaper because they are built cheaper and dont last as long but you dont have to take my word for it :)

Even the crappiest welds would keep the exhaust together. Headers are a different story - thermal stress is exponentially higher at that point in the exhaust.

For what its worth, I put a Megan Racing SS CBE on my '91 300ZX TT a couple of years ago and I love it. It has dual pipes from the CATs coming back to resonated H pipe and then straight back to the tin cans and tips. The pipes are 3" and the tin cans are 7" with 4.25" tips. Each tin can/tips have a double baffle that is removable, thereby making it essentially straight pipes off the CATs. With the baffles installed, it is as quite as the OEM exhaust. With the baffles out it has a nice low sound, but not real loud due to the TTs and the CATs. The system has been great for me & cheaper than OEM. ..... and it was bolt on with good fitment.
