yeah i was looking at the dezod, but could not find any videos or dyno graphs on it. So i decided to go with the Megan Racing OE-RS exhaust. What do you guys think?
Oh yeah i ordered the exhaust from the website. I opted for the paypal option but have yet to get an email or whatever asking for payment. Basically it says my order is being processed yet i have paid no money. You guys know what the hell is going on?

the only bad part is the noise, it sounds great but is really loud and ____'s people off when I pass them on the left side and they have the windows down. kinda funny to watch them in my mirror as they jump and almost swerve lanes at 5000 rpm.

I don't remeber who said it. I may have confused myself but just incase a resonator will still throw a CEL. High flow cats have even been known to set them off under certain conditions.

BTW, the megan OE-RS is not a good performance upgrade, go with drift spec if you want performance

Factory exhaust is crush bent.
thats why you get the gains you do with aftermarket performance exhuast. because its mandrel bent and provides easier flow of exhaust gases.
if you look at your stock pipeing you can see that it gets flatter in the bends. because its crush bent.

I just installed my megan drift spec exhaust, I think it sounds great even with their header & s-pipe. It was alot deeper then I was expecting. It's very loud but I don't think it's a bad sound at all.
I didn't want to try it with the silencer because it seems like it really kills the flow of the exhaust. The car feels alot stronger in the midrange RPMs.
Good exhaust for $330 shipped.

well, i just installed my megan oe-rs exhaust! it sounds nice. its not loud at all has absolutely no rasp at any throttle posistion and the sounds it deep and mellow. Could not be happier. My next modification will be to get a good Spipe.
