Dont see anything. Id rather spend a little more for some quality items then for some Megans. I believe Megans are just a bunch of copy cat items made in China arent they?

I have read that a lot of their suspensions fail. Why get a cheap immitation that has poor quality standards that can fail much earlier then expected? Then you would have to get another one when you could just buy from well known company once and not have to worry down the road. If you cant afford it dont do it. Getting cheap parts that you have to replace down the line isnt worth it.

Companies who stand behind their products with lots of R&D. Supportin those companies are much better and I have a read an article about how copy cat companies are bad for the scene. Those companies that spend a lot on R&D are put out of business because of them. Once those companies go out of business who will they copy from then? Support the companies that stand behind and do the proper r&d for their products.

Myself and others fully agree with this statement. :happy0180:

Honestly from the pictures I don't really see anything which looks copied from another vendor at least. At least someone is making a single-exit catback most of the others have failed to come to the market. The quality of what you are getting is obviously going to be lower but so is the price, I'm just glad it isn't a complete knockoff of another vendor's design.

juuuuuuunk

Credit where due .. Megan makes some decent suspension arms and links.

We are not really endorsing the product, just offering another option to the community. The exhaust was designed and tested in California, although yes, it is made overseas.

Doesnt have to be a knock off of a specific FR-S part. It could be for a different car just slapped on and fitted for this car.

I wouldn't get too hyped up for Big Name exhaust, min gains I see no prob going w/ a budget company like Megan as far as catback. The boxer engine sounds near same no muffler/ $1k catback, very close tone a matter of a little muffled or race car sound. That is one plus w/ Boxer engine, unlike a Civic where you MUST have a nice catback, this engine isn't soo picky as far exhaust sound goes.

I personally would rather spend $$$ where it matters most for gains, instead of Expensive catbacks on N/A car. Now on the Boosted car, Exhaust is HUGE and get some gains, then a $1k Catback isn't soo bad, but for FR-S I'd rather save money on a catback and put extra $$$ and do handling like wheels/tires/suspension.

More options the better ! More we have to choose from!

My .02 cents! :)

I have used TONS of megan products over the years and have NEVER had a problem with them.

I LOVED my exhaust on my S14 and Coil-overs on all my 240's!

I had a Megan catback on my EVO & really liked it. It sounded really nice and held up reslly well. i like how people who've never had Megan stuff say it's crap or it sucks. I can only speak on the exhaust, though, no comments on anything else.

Captain Insano 10-24-2012 10:56 PM

I certainly trust them for exhaust quality... had one on my 2007 sti and it was decent quality for an awesome price. I was very happy with that purchase.
