Do any of you run this axleback and if so how does it compare to the zpi axleback? I hate the look of my zpi axleback and want a more stock looking exhaust that will yield roughly the same performance gains as my zpi.

its good for the price but is it still chambered? has anybody asked megan if its straigh flow inside?

you should consider greddy sp2 or dt, i had zpi too

pollup

i know nothing about this exhaust.. chambered i assume will reduce performance correct? i dont like the look of the greddy sp2. i want a trd looking muffler, just like that megan,b ut i want the performance of the zpi.

heres a good read from awhile back, dyno of axlebacks

trd is made by this company

* there was a pix of a stock exhaust that was cut in half to show the chambers but i couldnt find it.

tikbhoy

found it

trd axleback gutted cutaway cutout

pollup

so is the greddy sp2 better then zpi exhaust? can someone post photos of this on your vehicle?

Thats not the TRD Axleback... thats just the cutaway of the stock exhaust.

the trd exhaust is very restrictive as well. i know with switching out my midpipe and trd axle back my boost jumped .5psi. still on stock s pipe.

duhr......

it sounded right in my head, i was trying to show similarities of the design

i've had a megan catback and i loved it on my 240!

pollup

any one know if the megan axleback im talking about is chambered or flow through and if i will yield roughly the same results as my zpi exhaust???

i have the megan with my turbo and love the sound it produces not toooo loud but u can hear it good for daily driving.i made 261 whp on 8 pounds boost so it cant be that restrictive.

pollup

now your talking about the normal axleback, not the n1 drift one correct? what psi springs do you have, do you have full exhaust?

paul_dezod

That Megan set-up is in stock and has sound great sound for the price. Can't beat it.

lets talk performance paul, that is my main concern. i want stock looking with high performance. will this megan axleback yield roughly the same gains as my zpi axle back? is this megan a flow through muffler?

paul_dezod

It appears straight through.

Why not just custom make your ZPI exhaust like I did? I was partial to the way the Blitz Nur Spec sounded and decided that I would like to have the Blitz Nur Spec muffler on instead of the equipped Magnaflow that comes with the ZPI exhaust. So, Kenny custom welded up my Blitz to match up to their exhaust in place of the Mangnaflow.

Why not do that instead of going out and buying another exhaust system?


by the way Pollup, ZPI exhaust is an S-pipe back, not axle back.....

rhythmnsmoke

Damn boy you picky....

You know, you could have went with the ZPI mid pipe, and then got an axle back of your choice to bolt up to it...

pollup

rhythm your misunderstanding. lemme clear it up. i have zpi s pipe (not currently installed) and i have the zpi midpipe, currently installed. i also have zpi's axle back installed. i dont like the way the axle back sits so low and that you can see the entire muffler from behind the vehicle. if i can get it custom made to be in the shape of the trd exhaust i would go that route. i want a muffler shaped like that megan to keep a lower profile. thats why im willing to trade the AXLEBACK part of the zpi exhaust with the megan axleback.

pollup

for the record i just spoke with megan racing. they said the muffler is a flow through design and should yield roughly the same gains as the zpi axleback. now to find a good price on a used one.
