Umm it can't be... Since that won't bolt up to all the OEM locations...

Below would be the OEM "mid pipe".. We all know its ONE huge piece..



The "Megan Mid pipe" would have to be sold with all 3 pieces in order for it to bolt right on..

Selling just the short pipe section with the resonator would be usless and silly @ $455...

Hmmm, you're right Joe. Then again, it can be a completely different piece all together compared to what they offer with their cat-back.

Very True.... But I am sure they will keep it in pieces or sections...

It would be too BULKY to ship a mid pipe designed just like the one huge OEM piece..

My personal opinion is that its probably going to be the same 3 pieces..

For another $500 bucks you can buy the remaining 3 rear pieces to get the full megan exhaust... but who really wants blue titanium tips on their Lexus.. ?



Jz
actually the craftsmanship of the meagan exhaust makes me kind of get over the blue tips. they aren't blue that much, maybe half an inch. i could get over it. thought it would be nice if they did away with it.

i'd own the borla right now if it didn't hang down so far and look ghetto. custom really might be the only way.

actually..anyone have any opinions/insight on the jun-tw exhaust?

What "more info" are you looking for??

The picture I posted shows more than likely an actual Megan Mid pipe.. with 2 O2 Sensor bungs and 2 Secondary CAT's..

I doubt this part will cause a check engine light..
However, I am sure it might if there is an exhaust leak due to installation error or possible fitment issues (if any)

The Megan pipe doesn't have 2 secondary cats. It just has 2 resonators where the secondary cats should be.

Yep. I think they were just trying to make it look legal. I also think that is why it has such a different sound.
