Default Megan test pipes installed -- check out vid

What's up all!

Haven't created a thread for the longest time. I have done a couple of new mods recently, such as the tom roof spoiler, yellow tinted fogs, and lowered the rear just a bit because I installed the rear sage RCA. 2 days ago, I installed the Megan Test Pipes for the heck of it. I just wanted to share a short clip of how the Megan test pipes, blitz exhaust, and stock intake sound together. It hasn't fully broken in yet but my car does somewhat sound a little louder. And yes, I do feel more power. No signs of leaks which is good. But, I need to get the O2 simulator since CEL is on. Enjoy all and have a great weekend! Oh by the way, this video was shot yesterday after I washed my car

Sounds awesome man! You gotta get the Injen to complete the sound!!!! I am thinking about Megan Test Pipe as well as the catback y-pipe Megan. I'm loving their coilovers and thinking about doing exhaust as well as headers too sometime in the future.

Did your CEL come on when you did the test pipes? Will it pass inspection??? We do smog in Texas.

What is the deal with all that water?

i use to have the injen intake. Yeah, it probably would have sounded louder haha. The CEL came on like the next morning. Because I only had 1 o2 simulator and I needed 2. I bought the simulator from Megan but too bad they only had 1 in stock at that time. Nope, def. wont pass smog. haha! my car smells like gas.

Nice additions.

How much did the Tom's roof spoiler cost you?

so megan test pipes are replacements of the oem catalytic converters?
Good luck on those. probably won't pass the emission test even with O2 simulators. lol

I bought it from jsl527. He gave me a pretty good price. And yes, the Megan TPS just replaces the oem Catalytic converts. And I wont even pass the smog check for sure haha! I'm due like in November. Oh well, F it...

With the roof down, do you get a constant smell of fumes when the car is in slow moving traffic?
