megan racing catback?

Ok, I'm at a tough decision EXHAUST! I want to know how people like the megan racing catback? I have'nt heard alot about it and there were no sound clips in the exhaust soundclip thread. Is this catback loud and it states its made for a 97+ but can be made for a 95-96 how ? i have a 95 SE thanks for the help,

Stuart

EDIT_ If anyone can add a soundclip you will be my god

The quality is good and I've never heard of fitment issues. The sound is very droning and "ricey", and a bit loud at cruising speeds. Just look at the muffler. It will fit your '95 with little or no modification. PM nealoc187, he's had one before. Read the stickies, there's information in there.

It's loud without the silencer. The silencer quieted the exhaust significantly, but made the buzzy, ricey sound even worse. I could also never get the silencer not to rattle so I opted for louder but less ricey (though still fairly ricey) sound. You'll have to have a little pipe fabricated to go between your cat and the Megan B-pipe, it is made for 97+ which has a small 6" or so pipe between the cat and B-pipe that you don't have on your 95. All the videos I have of my car with that exhaust are of me racing against even louder cars, so you can't hear the exhaust really.

The build quality and finish of the ehxhaust is second to none. It is a great quality piece when it comes to how well it was manufactured, it's just loud and ricey as I described.

It's not buzzy when you are on the gas much, it's buzzy when you let off the gas. What you consider "deep" or "buzzy" may differ from my definition of them though.

yes, absolutely correct. A test pipe replaces the cat, yet to my knowledge its doesnt really yield that much more of a gain than a high flow cat, perhaps louder who knows... (off subject haha)

hope all is well,
