Stock exhaust, but test pipe/res. and Megan header. Nothing that I've noticed, but I've never checked.

Yea, I think it has to do with the shitty gaskets.

its not the gasket, its teh headers. specially "megan" which is a pretty cheap brand

any cheap brand headers you buy, u'r gonna have an air leak somewhere, but its xtremely rare that u get lucky.

i went through two different sets of cheap headers, they always had a leak in them. even when i used the stocks gasket.

now i'm just running oem manifold, not going to spend too much money on DCs. i'll just put that money towards a big motor upgrade.

First of all Megan gets a bad rep. I have the full cat back exhaust and its great. Nice deep sounds, unlike many weed-eaters out there. I also have OBX headders. I don't notice any heat in/around the center console.

So you have OBX headers and prob their downpipe as well, what cat and what catback exhaust do you have installed?

I have this exhaust... http://www.meganracing.com/products/...id=71&catid=21

And I still have the stock CAT. The OBX headders/downpipe came as a set.

haha I have the same Exhaust. you really like it? I want to swap the rear section of it for a Greddy or Apexi OEM style one

I think the 4.5" is too large. I like how it looks but im "so-so" about the sound factor.
