Megan Test Pipe
 

Anyone have any experience with Megan Test Pipes? They are resonated so was wondering about the sound.

Don't have experience with the TP but have the y-pipe. Quality made. As long as you aren't buying the coilovers you should be str8 with a megan exhaust or its components.

I don't like the look of the flex pipe on it, it looks shady. Other then that Megan exhaust components I've never had a problem with on my 02 maxima

No flex pipe: just resonated pipes. If I have the time may try to install them this weekend and see what they can do and sound like.

really this is what i see on there product

Yep you are right. I had not taken them out of the box until today to install, only saw a stock picture that the vendor used. There is a flex pipe but the fabrication of the Megan TP looks pretty solid. You can look down inside the tube and see where the flex pipe covers the bends in the pipe. Welds look good and all stainless steel. I will finish the install tomorrow and give them a try. Took me 2 hours to get the bolts off the cats, as is well known they are on tight. One downside is that the TP did not come with bolts for the down side connection to the Y-pipe so gotta go out and buy some tomorrow :thumbsdown:. Also there is no bracket to support the TP, but I guess since they are lighter than the CATs and they have the flex pipe its is probably fine. Will update when they are on.

cool keep us posted on how they fit as well as sound, a sound clip would be great if you have the chance.

i had megan on my 350 and they are total POS cracked, then i rewelded them, then they broke again. Lots of drone wish i wouldnt of gotten them!

Heard the name, but nothing stood out. Haven't heard anything great about them either.

Everyone has their own experiences with MEGAN, yeah pretty mixed. Never a problem with products for my IS300. Anyway here is the video. Sound is slightly louder than stock but deeper. Not as loud as the video suggests. A little raspy occasionally when driven. But NOT annoying at all.

sv nismo, I liek teh sound of it. I'm glad you finally got the MEGAN installed.

You camera mic is right in the exhaust gas, all you're hearing is distortion :(

Move it up or to the side or anywhere else.

:tiphat: Good point... I'll try again later.

glad you got them all bolted up.
yea many mixed reviews on the Megan brand, as you Ive never had a problem with any of their products on my 97 maxima or 02 nissan maxima.

can't vouch for the sound but the quality is alright... from my experience exhaust is exhaust, megan is cheap but honestly for straight through test pipes they get the job done for a good price

Couldn't agree with you more. Opinions abound, but I'll say I will have to vouch for Megan here.... they are affordable and generally have reasonable quality products. I think these TPs are a reasonable investment ($180 tx and ship), since they likely won't stay on my car for long in my case. I basically want to see if they would make a difference in the sound and drivability/ performance of the car before I lay out $600 + for quality HFC's... so far the jury is out. The sound is better though.

hey i bought the megan racing test pipes but i couldnt get the top bolts on the cats off on each side...can you help me with how to take them off?

Yeah: Its a bugger!!! But you need to really soak the bolts with PB blaster or equivalent and it is hard to get it on those top bolts on both sides but just do it.... Then you need a hella long extension attached to your 1/2" socket wrench (long handle or breaker bar recommended) with a wobble joint at the end attached to your socket. With good lighting from below (under the car) and approaching the top bolts on the cats from the engine compartment on both sides. You will need to remove the air filter and hoses to visualize the bolt on the drivers side. Again, you are approaching those top bolts from the engine compartment down. Good lighting from below is a must so you can see the bolt and you will. Just jigger the socket on the bolt and gently with some torque loosen it. Tip: I used a breaker bar the first time to generate enough force to loosen the bolts. I've heard of people shearing them off so lots of PB blaster and patience. Best of luck. Do it once and the next time it is a breeze.:icon23:

I for some reason cannot download a picture link on this post ;-( but do a google search for "installing catalytic converter on 370z and there is a good choice of picture and YouTube vids info.

thanks..ya it was a huge pain but took a while..helped a lot..i also had to buy new gaskets cause the ones that it came with were trash...i would also like to say im satisfied with the sound and quality..it sounds decent with my stillen exhaust just gotta cut out the resonators now

i have megan test pipes and they work just fine. a little raspy between 2800-3000rpms depending on how heavy my foot is, but thats something you'd expect from test pipes.
