Well the UPS man brought me a big present today, my new Megan Racing cat-back came in today. Looks very nice, all polished stainless steel, it may be a little on the loud side by the looks of it but it does have a resonated b-pipe and a removable silence, so I think it will sound good. I will let you guys know on fitment and sound after I get it installed tomorrow.

 

I am installing mine tomorrow most likely as well.

BTW you need to update your sig pic, it says 14.1 @ 99 but your sig says 13.9 @ 103.5

 

PLEASE...tell us how it goes when you install it

 

I'm interested as well.

 

i would also like to know how it goes

 

Well being the computer retard that I am I didn't make my sig pic so I dont't know how to change it, but thanks for pointing that out to everyone

And BTW, just to let all the 97+ owners out there know there is not a place for your O2 sensor in this b-pipe so you would have to get one added.

 

Please let us know how it sounds!!!

 

How much did you get it for?

 

how much would it cost to have an o2 sensor hole added?

 

you need to get it installed and take some pics..TODAY!

 

i think you can drill and maybe thread the o2 sensor whole yourselff, if you know what your doing. shouldn't be that hard. how thick if piping in this megan exhaust?

 

I don't think you can just thread the hole, I doubt the metal is thick enough. I think you would need to get a O2 bung welded onto the exhaust, so it's not something an average person can do. But you can take it to an exhaust shop and it shouldn't be expensive.

I WANT PICS!!!!

How big is the muffler tip? What size is the piping?

 

Breaux you are right.....probably don't hear that too often

With my Apexi, I had to have a bung welded(bung bung bung).Took the shop oh about 5 minutes.

D

 

Come on now...Update...hows it sound?

 

 

Ok I just got out of class, I am going to do the install right now, I will be back to report on everything in a couple of hours?

 

i know this is a little off topic, but is tapping into an exhaust manifold for an EGT probe similar to tapping into the exhaust for an O2 sensor?

 

are you 5spd or auto? I have pretty much the same performance mods but havent ran 1/4 times yet

 

i just used to go to home depot and find a nut that would thread onto the 02 sensor, then i would drill a hole in the pipe, weld the nut on, and voila, o2 bung all the exhaust shops areound me wantled like 40 bucks to do it

 

not quick enough...sorry

 

yeah come on. Where are you!!!

 

dammit, i cannot mod my car anymore...at least thats what im telling myself, but seeing everyone ordering all these go-fast goodies makes me wanna rack up my credit card bill...Damn you people!

Maybe when im a physical therapist (God-willing) in 5 years i can mod the hell out of my new max


Eric

 

Ya same deal.

 

Where did you get your Racing exhaust?

 

Cool, i cant wait to hear your inpressions of it...

 

Ok well there has been a slight delay of my progress due to the 2 cat bolts not wanting to come off, but I did bolt up the rear section to my stock b-pipe with removed resonator, and surprisingly it is not that loud. It should sound really nice with the resonated b-pipe it came with, the only problem so far is one of the hangers on the muffler didnt quite fit in the stock location, but that is an easy fix.

 

How big is the hole for the silencer?

 

mine were trouble too. we used some liquid wrench type stuff and some old fashioned elbow grease...did i say alittle??? we bent on of the bolts we had to push so hard...

 

the next set of exhausts made should come with a rear 02 sensor location.

 

Is this a suggestion or info you got from Megan Racing?

 

yeah what about the 02 sensor did u hear that? or is that wat u HOPE happens

 

any pics yet?

 

Ok well sorry for the long delay on the responses. First off this kit is well made, and all the bends are in the correct place. There is one major fitment issue however, the b-pipe when on its hangers ends up sitting about 6" away from the cat, Megan Racing made it to short, so you will have to get a tiny test pipe made between your cat and the b-pipe or just extend your existing test pipe (if you have one). Now the tip is kind of big but it fits fairly well with the cutout in the bumper, it has a fairly deep sound to it and does not drone with the silencer in, with the silencer out it is LOUD inside the car but not so much on the outside. Now for how it feels, well i did have a subject to test this thing out on tonight (sloppymax), I thought it was pulling a little harder but I wasnt sure, so I ran him tonight to make sure. Now prior to this I ran him and we were door to door, and that was with my stock heat range plugs in, now tonight with my colder plugs in I was able to pull away from him slowly, something I couldnt do before, you can really hear the y-pipe open up after 4500 with this exhaust on. Overall if you Are looking for an inexpensive cat-back that will deliver good gains and you dont really care about how big the tip is, then by all means get this. I will be call ing Megan Racing and telling them about the problem, Nealoc187 had the same problem, and hope fully they will corretc it so you guys wont have to go through what we did. Soryy for the long post.

 

How big is the tip?

 

picture of tip! picture of everything!

 

 

agreed

 

Is it possible this catback was designed with the 97-98 maxima in mind? The 97-98 maxima uses a short "S" pipe behind the cat.
