Not sure if I can agree with this, they look similar, but at least Megan's tips don't look as bad as Agency Power's

to me it just seems like no matter what vehicle it is, megan finds out what way to best replicate the worst possible sound that engine can make and goes with tgat. idk how they do it, but they do. it's like someone is sitting around and goes "o geez that sounds like sh!t... lets reproduce that sound for the masses."

why?! time after time do they make the cars sound like u are farting thru a kazoo into a coffee can??

Sound is subjective... To each his own

You realize at the heart of it all, exhaust is just bent pipes welded together with resonators/mufflers right? The majority of which is done overseas in China or India.

See, this right here is the reason vendors get away with charging stupid amounts of money for their products. People have this preconceived notion that the only way to get a quality product is to spend more money. It's pretty sad, but if megan were to charge, say, $1500 for their product more people would buy them and claim how awesome they are. All because they paid XXXX amount of dollars for a "quality" product. I had a megan exhaust on my WRX and not ONCE did it "crap out" on me. Furthermore, I am not even certain how an exhaust can "crap out" on someone. A weld can break on almost any exhaust, doesn't matter the price. However if you do have a weld on a flange break, you have to pay a whole $30 or less to have it rewelded.

Let's be honest with each other and face it, there is a "Z tax" most vendors put on our cars products because they know they can. Do this, go price out a full exhaust for a mustang and then for a Z. Why exactly is the Z's a considerable amount more? Because stupid people are willing to pay more because they think their car "deserves it".

I've known quite a few people that have run their own exhaust shops on the internet and made custom CBE's for SRT4, 350Z, WRX's etc, and I can tell you this; Once the jig is made and sent overseas the production costs on an exhaust is laughable. The fact people are willing to pay 10x (+even more) just makes me laugh even more.

Research what factory they are made in. You may find the exact same address ;)

Thank you!!! My points exactly

edub370 even made a post stating that their price is too low, AKA bad product...
"and the low cost doesnt help its cause."

Same. Mainly because I do not like the sound the exhaust puts out. I'm not sure about the quality of the metal or where it was welded etc.

Funniest part about him saying that is...he has a CNT exhaust. Which is one of the cheapest exhausts made for the Z. Definitely made to the same standards as megan, or any other "cheap" exhausts out there.

:tup:

Co-worker has a megan exhaust on his e46 M3 and I think it sounds quite nice. Actually he took it to a BMW meet and now there are a few M3's with that exhaust after hearing his.

:icon18::iagree:
CNT is KNOWN to be the eBay knock off brand now... I have seen their products sell as brandless/generic

Yeah, I was just on an M3 forum, and a decent amount of people (10+)have it and really like it

(and some other people say that Agency Power and Megan are the same, LOL!!!)

Damn right its a knockoff. im not paying someone for the r&d. i buy smart
:tiphat:

idc if people get the megan exhaust. im just saying, the sound it produces tends to be what a lot of people would call "unpleasant". if u love it, then rock it. like u said obviously idc for how much stuff costs. just playing devils advocate here

So in result, you guys should go buy Megan products.

Sweet! :facepalm:

Lol if I knew how to give 'rep', I would have given you rep for handling that with a mature attitude. :happydance:
