Its also very obvious you deleted the thread where you attacked me first in an attempt to answer my simple question.

But luckily the quote still stands above on the page.

2.25" piping is perfect for a 2.2, but for a 2.4 i'd say 2.5" piping is the way to go.

Megan is definitely good for what you pay though.
i thot tsudo is 2.5 but they may have 2.25 also. i got a tsudo for 180 shipped and my buddy got it for 200 shipped. and yea megan is great price

I have a GM cat back, its a straight through muffler and resonator design. If either one is, go with that.

smaller piping is better low end rpm power

bigger piping will be better top end power.. had both (not these brands but size wise) and i personally like more low end power

and when the heck is ark coming out with the new N2 !!!!

wow a lot has happened since i last checked this. yeah I am not sure where I want the power gains at. But my main point with saying these two brands is simply b/c they truly bolt in. no clamps needed no welding needed. I know vibrant is the same now that i took at closer look.


does anyone have a shot of the megan on a 2.4?

I don't think you'd be a fan of the Megan unless your into the canister look.

I don't favor the sound/looks of either.

Magnaflow.

I am not against it if it doesn't hang to low.

I like the magnaflow but not the fact that it clamps/welds into place.

The Megan has a canister style muffler, which is larger than your average oval muffler like that of the Magnaflow, Corsa, ARK DT-S, etc etc, and tends to sit lower to the ground to clear the rear facia, and is more prone to dragging on speed bumps and such. Trust me, I know from experience with my ARK N2.

Megan is crap. You're a cheap bastard if that's what you decide to buy. Only reason people buy a cheaper product is because you're cheap.

If you think it sounds good, then you're more then likely a ricer.

just mainly how it hangs from the car. eye level (standing) and then even with the exhuast it self. side and back shots would be great. thanks

being cheap would be getting tsudo or pacesetter or the "custom" set ups.

Megan is crap. Anyone that knows their **** will tell you that.

Custom does not always mean crap. I've seen custom bent stainless steel setups with quality welds and sound amazing for far less then a Megan.

if megan is ricer as u like to call it then every person who has heard my car is a ricer cuz i have not gotten one bad comment of how my car sounds or looks and people around here dont hesitate to call someone a ricer. and i hear ark exhaust called ricer a lot more then megan. i personally do not like how the n2 exhaust sounds on the cobalt.

P.S the only times i hear megan called ricey is ppl saying it looks ricey cuz of the canister muffler not at all cuz it sounds ricey.
