catted dp would be your easiest..

yeah but I actually like the tone...just trying to quiet it down...this may sound silly, but I bought the megan used and the silencer wasn't included with it...maybe try and get one of them too?

yeah that's what I'm leaning towards. My mechanic buddy (who I would have do this because I'm not even going to attemot welding) is telling me that a cat won't help. I'm willing to give it a shot and even if it doesn't then at least I can pass inspection

ok guys here's a video of the exhaust...


*note: the idle purr is so loud that it was deafening the camera, so that's why it sounds like that

1.75 primaries, 3" header , 3" downpipe, 3" catback = deafening loud with sudden uncontrollable bowel movements, prone to wet seats.

mine sounds just fine and sound level isnt bad but i have stock header and dp

soooo what header/dp would you guys reccomend for best sound with the megan? loud doesnt matter, just good sounding and good proformance(gotta have a highflow cat)
(sorry about the thread jack, just a quick question.)
