The Megan Racing one looks ok ... OBX one actually looks like a good system ... I wouldn't go with the tsudo ones though

quite a few people on this site have Megan cat-backs. You should ask them about the gains and stuff.

yeah but if you look its 165 for the exhaust and 89-100 shipping so you are paying almost 250-270 for it.
but megan cat backs ive heard decent things about them too.

I have the megan racing catback, its a very nice catback for the price. It said the bolts and gaskets were included but not all of them were came with it, so i just spent $6 at auto zone, no biggy. Fitment was a little hard but it worked.

how is the sound? thats my main concern is something that sounds good, i dont want the high pitch sound of just a muffler. I'll pay the cheaper price for the generic cat-back systems if they sound like the name brand cat-back systems. I'm curious as well to hear them.

I have the obx headers and also the greddy style obx exhaust from ssautochrome on ebay for 170 shipped and with an intake it is one good system as far as the sound is concerned. It is not to loud and it is a deep sounding exhaust system. I like mine. Does not sound ricey at all

I bought my Megan Racing cat back and I'm happy with it now but not until after the muffler shop had to do a little bit of attitude adjustment to it. Some of the bends were off but it fits great now. The sound is beautiful expecially since I bought megan racings high flow cat too. I only have one complaint. One of the flanges kinds hangs a little too low and it scrapes on speed bumps half of the time. Theres no skid plate on it so I have to be careful it doesnt get hung up on something.

Not all exhaust are 3 piece are they? Because that flange hangs extra low and it doesnt need to be there. I've thought about having it taken out , but havent decided yet.
