RE: Megan Racing Cat-Back Exhaust
Got mine installed yesterday. Install was a bloody pain in the ***. I got a shop to do it and not only was it about a foot short on the EX but most of the brakets had to be cut and rewelded longer. The cat on my EX is in the header and I guess they expect if your putting this catback in your also changing the headers so it leaves room for the cat between this exaust in your headers. Well this left a huge gap so a custom peice of metal had to be put in. Other then that its a pretty good exaust. I notice a proformance increase and it sounds good to.

Ohhhhh yeah, because your EX is our LX. If you had gotten the header and cat from a Canadian Si it would have fit in there perfectly. It's so dumb how they make the models different.[:@]

RE: Megan Racing Cat-Back Exhaust
I got an Apexi cat back installed about 2weeks ago, and the design is strikingly similar, the only difference is the zinc coating on the outside. I was gonna go for megan but the snob in me rang out for old skool japanese. Its really interesting to see how you installed it without the hydraulic lift thingys- i was gonna do it myself but didnt have ne tools, next time definately gonna do it myself, i just wanna learn these things but u cant do that if you take it to the garages, plus dey charge mahoosive.
Neway thats a kool job and a kool description. Maybe one day sum1 can do a step by step thing? That would be safe, unless i'm being a pene *** and there's already one hea.
