I liked how my megan sounded with the obx raceheader......before I crushed the mid pipe and added some rasp

i'm gonna get the DC catback single canister, a friend had it on his ep3 and it tucked up nicely, didnt hang too low... anyways i dont care what ya think, that the one i'm going to buy, and it doesnt sound at al oone bit raspy with the DCRH... which is another reason i'm gonna get it... it sounds like it still has the cat in it, which it doesnt.

The apexi ws2 is quiet. Sounds real good not raspy at all. Little deep tone when you get on it. But I still miss my buddy club spec 3

its loud, but if you like some noise it will suit you well. i am at the point with mine i am kind of tired of the noise. the price cant be beat and it should give you the same performance gains as anything else.

Under the bumper? Nice, with the hfp lip.

Under the car? Like shit. Lol

I almost bought this exhaust for my turbo setup but didn't buy it because of said above.

I actually went ahead and bought a $150 eBay special exhaust and it sounds amazing, then again it could just be the work of the turbo. If I was N/A I think it would've sounded horrendous.

If I were you, I would just save up the extra couple hundred bucks and get a nice GReddy exhaust, the YouTube sounds clips of them on our cars sound great.

If I had the money to spend twice as much as I did I would have bought the tanabe exhaust. I forgot which one, but it sounds AMAZING.

Not bad sounding, sorry for threat jacking but im just wondering if anyone here has a good 3'' catback exhaust to recommend to me. I've looked at the skunk2 mega r 70mm is that my only option cant seem to find alot of 3'' exhausts out there..

The Megan sounds like any other exhaust youll find, ive been through 5 exhausts and every single one sounded the same plus or minus decibles. The fitment is kind of low, but ive bashed on all of my exhausts and they took the abuse including this one. It looks like all others out there and its cheap. Also theres no reason a peice of piping should cost as much as other manufactures, unless you want to be "jdm".

This is why I went with the BBP (eBay) exhaust. All exhausts are fart cans on pipe. Unless they have a real muffler on em, your really just paying extra for the brand. I got mine for 105 shipped! Fit like a champ. All exhaust systems hang low really, our cars have no exhaust tunnel. I cringe when I scrape my exhaust yes, but I would puke scraping a $500+ system. It's really not that loud with stock header and cat. With the silencer in, it's barely louder than stock.

I have a YouTube video too, search ep3 eBay exhaust or aranciors is my user name.

I just ordered my ebay exhaust this afternoon. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190518280109&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT I may put my OBX WS2 copy rear muffler on it later. I'll run it like it is to start though. It was cheaper to buy this cat-back system than to have a muffler shop fab a pipe from my cat to the rear muffler. Go figure. Do most guys with N1 type mufflers leave the silencer in or not? I guess I'll find out the difference in loudness soon. I went w/ the 2.25" pipe one and the smaller tip. I hope I can get a couple more hp's out of it but I will also be happy with not being the quietest car on the track!

Can you post up a video of how that one sounds. I'm thinking about getting a cheap ebay exhaust for now since the person who I bought this car from a while ago has some crappy exhaust that is rattling around and melting my bumper :( But I am still too skeptic to buy one from ebay till I hear it.
