My Megan exhaust pics

2004 MC, just wanted to post this up for fellas like me who are just curious of the look but unfortunately i have no sound bite but i will say the Megan does drone in the cabin but if you dot mind the sound of a sporty exhaust its not bad. For the price this is a real nicely constructed exhaust....

Adding a resonator should help with the drone if it becomes too bothersome. Megan's website shows a resonated mid-pipe in their picture for it, you may be able to pick it up as an extra later. Looks pretty nice.

I have one of these systems fitted to my 06 MC. When first fitted, it used to reverberate so bad that the hand brake handle would rattle. Now, after 2 years, it's not so bad.

I have the same exhaust. It does drone a little, not too bad unless costing down hill. Mine also pops and burbles on lift off at 3000 RPM's. It's most noticeable in first gear. If you are at WOT and lift for a shift just a hair before the fuel cut off, it should let out a big POP, mine does. very satisfying. I also have an aFe intake, which may help. It's hard to match the fuel cut off and the lift off at the same time. I really like it.


It is not as stainless as you would think. Some staining on the tip. I might be able to buff it out though... but it is an exhaust pipe... so what's the real use in doing that...?

I do get the pop and burbles, i was surprised it being just a stock motor, i was thinking about trying the intake but not so much for the possible breathability but the minimalistic approach..

what does WOT stand for???? maybe thats the reason i never got a POP!! yet..
