Hey guys, just trying to get a little extra information from what people have already said. I'm sure any answer helps.
I was looking at different exhaust systems and I really cant find much on the megan cat-back system for the v6. I see a lot of people have just the axle back or muffler. Basically, I just want to know how the sound is and the durability of it. also if there is any gains in power, or gains in power mixed with a CAI.
Thanks.

Pipe diameter is more important than the brand. A 3" exhaust made in the same way by any company will sound about the same for example.

Check with your local shops. See if someone will MANDREL BEND a 3" exhaust for you. My friend got one done for $150

I posted my thoughts on it here a while back.

Whoever said it's not louder than stock is incorrect. It is a lot louder than stock if you remove the silencer/baffle from the muffler. Durability has been fine so far, but I haven't even had the thing on for a year. But it's solid. My biggest gripe remains the poor design of the front muffler hanger.

That said, I agree that if you can find a shop to do a 3" exhaust it might be cheaper. But if you want to DIY, overall I'm happy with the Megan.

EDIT: fixed link

As for power, I'm not sure. I have a K&N intake and a tune, so my car is a tiny bit quicker than stock, but I've never dynoed it. There probably are some gains, but they're not mind-blowing.

Thanks for the input. I really do want a DIY project, I have a buddy that can get me an Injen cai really cheap so I wanted exhaust as well. I was looking around and it seemed like the Megan oe-rs had really good pricing and I was worried about durability or about being ricey. I am happy with any gains at all. I just want a little nicer/louder sound out of my car. the only thing that worries me with gains is i'm at 82k on the clock with the original clutch.
