New cat-back exhaust sounds like broken muffler- WHY?!?!
I just had a brand new 3 piece cat-back N-1 style exhaust (similar to Greddy Evo) installed yesterday and it sounds like ASS!!!! No nice pitch- just a loud drown and it vibrates the whole car- it's louder in the car than outside--why is this?
Could it be the exhaust is shitty or the installation was shotty? I notice a little more power, but it's not worth the freagin' headache I'm gonna get- not to mention I'm gonna go deaf

Megan Racing...it's a knock-off of Greddy. I am assured that the quality is the same as Greddy (in terms of steal and materials, flanges, welds, etc.). Fitment is a little off, but nothing a little extra welding can't fix.

I can tell from the design and from the product itself that it is top quality like gredddy- so functionally it is fine- but there might be a leak or something
It sounds like a freakin' mack truck, or a concorde- completely untuned sound

it is going to save u money because u r probably going to decide eventually to get a new one. most likely a different kind. The two added together will cost more than the brand name one that u should have gotten in the first place

i would never get any exhaust with the last word saying (style). imitation exhaust are never as good as the real deal, try get a real apex n1 catback, i drove one that came in to acura the other week and it sounded sooooooooo nice!
oh and your full setup cost only 310$, damn!, my veilside canister alone cost 320$
