Currently I am running on a ZZP header and downpipe (highflow cat) with stock catback and a mangaflow muffler. I am finding this way to "tinny" and am looking to get something deeper and less "raspy". The downpipe has a 2.5 bold-up and im looking to see what you guys think I should do to get a nicer sounding exhaust. A new catback? resenators? brand? size? thanks.

 

Megan = rice


that's about all I have to say to that

 

And what about red rims?

Just playing man, I will be getting rid of my Megan pretty soon. Sounds like **** after a while.

And to the OP there are other catbacks you don't have listed as well........

 

Yea, I have the megan too. worse thing i ever did to my car. anyone that says it sounds good obviously has never heard a decent sounding exhaust. I put on a CTI header/downpipe and it sounds even worse now. I'm not driving my car unless it's to an exhaust shop

 

Yea I am still debating about what to do with mine. Probably a 3" CTI catback or the Hahn.

 

i have the ark N2 but idk if u will like it

If your mods are too many to list like in your sig with a lot of power only one exhaust comes to mind.....Hahn. I have the Megan as well (1 year now) and I'm getting tired of it as well.

 

i love my GMPP performance exhaust...but if i was you i would go with the hahn

 

what kinda of sound will i get with vibrant header and dp combo with the stock exhaust? will be 2.5 dp and catless.

 

Everyone is just gonna say what they have for the most part. I have the ARK N2 and I love it. Its been on my car since October '06, so needless to say, its held up great. But I know the big angled canister isn't for everyone.

 

anyone wanna sell their megan for cheap since u all hate it

 

Perhaps within the next month lol

 

i had megan the pos blew after i put my stage kit. now i have a borla and love it. maybe needa get a dp with a cat to not have the lil raspyness i got

 

yeh I think im sorry, I know that there are other types of catbacks, I just didn;t know which ones to list or not. Now I only have a 2.5 exit on my down pipe.... Should I run a hahn 3" with a 2.5 bolt up ? can you get hanh in 2.5"

 

HAHN header, downpipe, catback. i didn't have enough time to put the header on so right now its just the downpipe and catback. sounds amazing. i can't wait to get the header on there. its what bill is calling a "tuned" header. where the collection pipe actually starts spinning/twisting the exhaust flow in a tornado or spiralling type of flow

 

HOLLY ******* DROOL, you are the luckest guy I know.... What ize is all that?

 

2.5" header outlet. 2.5" downpipe inlet. 2.75" downpipe outlet. 3"catback.

i love the look of this header too. not only is it well made. its well engineered

since the firing order is 1,3,4,2 they designed the collector so that it fires and enters the exhaust in a clockwise spiraling pattern. lik

1-3
2-4 going clockwise. get what i'm sayin?

 

Yeh for sure... Now I have a ZZP header and DP with a 2.5" bolt-up.... Does it make any sense to bolt-up a 3" hanh catback?

 

and why is that good?

 

you can. it will bolt up just fine. you will just have .350" overlap all the way around, bolting up the 3" catback to a 2.5" downpipe

ease of flow, not as crazy and turbulent as having them all enter at the same time in random locations

 

referring to my madusa header by any chance lol?

 

thats a little different. thats an equal length longtube style header with the dimensions of a shorty

 

and from what i've heard it has less horsepower gain than a standard header, but mroe torque gain?

 

i believe thats right, but i'm not sure. but i do think that the longtube is going to give a little bit better torque on theeeeeeeeee......low end?....maybe

 

the power band has definetly shifted lower, but it feels like the power gain up high is even more...? different results from most people. the downpipe and exhaust probably ahd somethign to do with it
