Installed the Megan Racing Lower Downpipes on my Q50. Install took a couple of hours. Doing it on a 90+ degree day and on the driveway was a PITA, not to mention the issue of rusty bolts(had to use some PB Blaster and wait on some bolts), and being careful not to snap any studs or bolts.
The Megan Racing downpipes replace the stock restrictive factory downpipe with a high flow stainless steel downpipe that improves horsepower and torque to get the most potential from your engine.
A high flow downpipe replaces one of the most restrictive parts of your exhaust system and is an excellent complement to other aftermarket exhaust components such as headers or an exhaust system.
Megan Racing downpipes are stainless steel and polished to a mirror like finish and constructed using beautiful and strong welds. Smooth bends reduce turbulence and give your exhaust the straightest path to reduce back pressure.
Solid quality, and no fitment issues, no CEL. I ended up using my own better quality hardware, and stock gaskets because they ones they provide are not the best quality in comparison to the stock gaskets. I also added high temp RTV, and cleaned the O2's and added anti-seize.
The sound is definitely louder, I can definitely feel the difference having it installed. The car feels quicker, and more torque-y. I dont have any rasp or drone. It gives the car a more deeper, meaner tone, and the revs!!! Oh man the revs and downshifts sounds soooo goood!!!! I will try my best to add some clips.
One thing to note, and Im not sure if its related...Is that after I went on a test drive I was hearing some vibration...Yikes! But after I had a chance to put the car on a lift saw that my X pipe was slightly touching the brace underneath. I didnt have the vibration and noise before the install.
To remedy this I added some spacers/washers and it raise the clearance a bit. That solved my vibration issue, and now the car is running and sounding amazing. I also spoke to BoostInMotion to see if he had the same issue but he just removed the brace altogether for his, so theres an alternative.
Definitely worth the purchase. I got mine new for $155 and after taxes $165.27 from an ebay seller.
I took some pictures (attached) of the overall process.
