Megan on left, Frankencar on right




Frankencar is the dirty one


Dirty Majestic Blue 5.5gen is one of our ESTEEMED moderator's car.

 

Haha nice. How's the bad boy sound? Pics of it installed? Looks like it might stick out a bit...

 

I just made the switch from Megan to Frankencar.

Frankencar FTW

 

I just bought the megan catback but have not installed it.
It seems no one likes it...why?

 

I like it.

Fine, I'll admit to it. The one pictured is mine; I got it used, but the welds and tips looked good, it fits perfectly, and it sounds good, ie. to me, just like the Cattman rear.

It is essentially a Cattman knockoff. I've had the GReddy, Cattman, Frankencar, and now Megan, all on this car.

Anyone got a HKS they want me to try?

And NO people, my Frankencar is not for sale, so don't even bother asking.

 

Wow, it looks a lot more dangerously perched in that picture than it did in person.

 

You and everyone else

Hence the reason I settled for HKS.

 

Only reason I got the Megan is because I couldn't find a HKS for less than like 400 bucks. Now, of course, after the Megan is on my car, someone is selling a HKS in the Classifieds brand new for $300.

 

So I have the hks tail piece on my other car...I wonder if I will like this better than the megan once i have the catman headers installed

 

DO IT....so you can say you've tried all the exhausts for the maxima!!

Yes it does....I think mainly because it's close to the wall.

 

With headers, the Cattman, Megan, and HKS all sound the same, IMO. Only reason I wanted the HKS is I liked the way those tips looked better.

 

Not really. Find me a Greddy SP/SP2 cat-back for a 5th Gen, and that'll complete things. The only two people I knew with those were Ice2k1 and Ammi.

 

I liked it.... but the tips got bent pretty bad during a tow so i convinced them to pay for a new muffler. I went w/ the Magnaflow Street Series #14816. Sexiest tips IMO and the mufflers a lot smaller than the megan. The only thing i didnt like about the megan was that the huge muffler sat at an angle rather than parallel w/ the ground, not a big deal but something i noticed.

 

Yeah that is why I bought it too.

 

Blah, those tips burnt my bumper!!! I guess because the I35 rear is longer and the tips were tucked in. That plus a 13 hour straight drive = bumper burnt. Cost me $100 to get those bishes lengthended (NJ labor price...I got ripped I know)

 

The Frankencar muffler is one heavy bisch and very restrictive, but it does keep the sound level down quite a bit.

 

I see how it is Joel....doing mods and you don't even call me

Stop switching mufflers and install all those other parts you have sitting around already!

 

btw, I have Joel's FIRST Frankencar muffler....then he got another one

what a wierdo

 

wait a minute, you guys are in NJ and VA...thats a distance apart...and have I ever told u how much I want your body kit.

 

I'm still stock. .

 

So Joel, Is your Frankencar for sale? Want to sell it to me?

 

Aren't there some headers that are in need of being installed still?

 

I just took a quick trip down the street....

those have been installed on Joel's car for awhile...it's the 6th gen brake upgrade and SFC's that need to be put on.
I shouldn't talk though........

 

Where is the cheapest place to find the Megan Racing cat back?
So far I've found 1 for 349.00 free shipping from hopupracing.com

 

First site at looked at (raceinspired.com) has the HKS new for $331.... pic only shows one tip though. Is this accurate?

 

That's where I bought mine.

 

You bish I would have come for a ride.

 

Are they a good company? How quick was there shipping?

 

niice, how long did it take you guys to install? also do you have any videos of the two sounds? it would be cool to have a video/sound comparison as well.

 

exhaust compilation sticky

 

got it! thanks

 

Well?????????????????????????????

 

Reading >>>>>> You.

 

If you do a google search you will notice that their customer service sucks. Also, you need to read their policy.


I bought mine from wesellcarparts.com and they were great. They have theirs listed for $380 shipped but I ordered it with no problems and I got it pretty quick.

 

since you guys are talking about the HKS axle back as well, do you know if the HKS axle back will fit along with the greddy bpipe
