Got her mounted this morning! Left side looks a bit lower than the right so I might go back in for an adjustment. Definitely much louder than stock. Especially in the lower revs when leaving from a stop, etc. Up top it's got a nice note to it, but nothing obnoxious. Highway sound is decent. Around 70mph it's fairly quiet with a little resonance entering the cab as you move towards 80mph. BTW, black tips on a white car looks very good. I'm unsure about leaving my rivets unpainted at this point. When I post some pics later I'll look for some opinions.
EDIT: forgot to add that at WOT it sounds AWESOME!!!

My fitment isnt 100 percent perfect but they are level. One side extends a few mm more than the other. Frankly you have to get the perfect (imperfect?) angle to even notice it. Id want them level though, so good luck.

So, I just decided to pick up a Megan locally instead of waiting on my order to ship (ordered mine back in January). I ordered an all stainless, but a local forum member was selling his titanium with rolled tips for an awesome price, so I went for it.
Bought it Cleaned it Installing tomorrow and will be sure to post a proper video once I install the test pipes and get a mic. |

If one side is lower than the other, Unbolt everything but the muffler and see how it sets just hanging by its self. If it hangs perfectly then you need to redo your install. Work from rear to the x pipe. If it doesn't hang correctly then you might have a bent hanger. I had both problems but tip length was fixed as I described and tip height I just played with my install until it was perfect. Good luck!

Took my car back over to the shop yesterday. The mechanic (Justin) was super nice and insisted on doing everything he could to align the exhaust perfectly. When we started the left side was lower than the right side by approximately 3/8". I know this seems small, but visually it was obvious to me. Started by loosening all clamps and let the rear section hang on its own. Upon closer inspection the left side hanger (with safety strap), appeared to be bent when compared to the right side. A little magic with a crowbar and the exhaust was sitting pretty close to level but just wasn't spot on. We decided to install 2 washers on each post under the right side rubber mount to drop it another 3/16". Perfect! The exhaust now sits 10-1/2" from the floor on all four tips. A little patience goes a long way.
Here's some pics installed:

This is infectious, I just ended up ordering the exhaust myself. Will see how it goes when it gets here.
By the way, many seem to be pairing this with test pipes. Is there a particular advantage to doing this instead of getting an x-pipe? |

I went through so many exhaust Encore TI, Remus Sport, RPI GT catless, RPI section 3, and gintani race it was either to loud or to quiet for my taste. I'm hoping this setup will be it for me.

I find it to be loud enough for my taste. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great, but sometimes the low rpm harmonics get to me. Another forum member turned me on to using Dynamat in the trunk and I think it has definitely helped alleviated a fair amount of unwanted resonance. I believe he was a little more enthusiastic than me as he put 3 layers on the bottom of the plastic tray. I opted out of this because a) getting the tray out looked to be a PITA, and b) that was going to be like $200 in Dynamat. I think if I lay down a layer of acoustic carpet in the tray it will be right where I want it. Sorry. That was a bit long winded...

Btw, I've got it paired with the OEM exhaust mod (bypass) and it's ridiculously loud. Going to drive like this for a few days and then decide if I'm going Megan exhaust.
