Why are Megan exhausts so hated

DEpointfive0

I really don't know what to say, and I think a lot of people who are trash talking on the Megan CBE (that's all I care about for this thread) that have never actually SEEN or held or have heard a Magan CBE on a car... YouTube videos SUCK at illustrating sound because they use iPhones or some other really cheap camera to record sound...
Megan I KNOW is a "new" company to the tuning game, and I think they just have more honest pricing... In my opinion, there is no reason for an exhaust costing $1600 like Stillen's... (yes I have theirs, but I got a HELL of a deal...)
Lastly, being a weld inspector for several years, the Megan Drift Spec exhaust that I had in my hands before it was modded to fit another car has the BEST welds out of the others I have seen closely (Stillen, Berk, OEM Nismo, and Invidia)

Orly?? i have and i can say FOR A FACT that its not the most flattering sound on a z (yup, heard it in person). the exhaust itself doesnt look bad, but the lack of depth in the tone (high pitched and metallicy), and the low cost doesnt help its cause.



megan isn't exactly "new" into the modding game. they got their bad rep by coming out with cheap products many years ago (back in the f&f days, ~2001) and continued to do so until the rest of the aftermarket communities' quality well surpassed them and forced them to play catch up. so has their product improved? yes. Is it on pair with other high performance exhausts? no.


see:

-gt haus
-akrapovic's (brand spankin new to the car aftermarket game and is already a standard in quality)
-motordyne
-fast intentions
-hell even the cnt exhaust i have has phenominal welds

i will agree with u that their quality has come up some lately, but its gone from bad to acceptable. not great by any means

this is why gthaus' exhaust cost what they do (see pics)
