Orly?? i have and i can say FOR A FACT that its not the most flattering sound on a z (yup, heard it in person). the exhaust itself doesnt look bad, but the lack of depth in the tone (high pitched and metallicy), and the low cost doesnt help its cause.

megan isn't exactly "new" into the modding game. they got their bad rep by coming out with cheap products many years ago (back in the f&f days, ~2001) and continued to do so until the rest of the aftermarket communities' quality well surpassed them and forced them to play catch up. so has their product improved? yes. Is it on pair with other high performance exhausts? no.

see:
-gt haus
-akrapovic's (brand spankin new to the car aftermarket game and is already a standard in quality)
-motordyne
-fast intentions
-hell even the cnt exhaust i have has phenominal welds
i will agree with u that their quality has come up some lately, but its gone from bad to acceptable. not great by any means
this is why gthaus' exhaust cost what they do (see pics)
