@SBoth_ 4 года назад

I would be curious about knocking all the stuff out of the cats and putting the factory pipe back on. I wonder what the power gain or loss would be?

@fixinit 4 года назад

F0RS8KEN That’s definitely the $free way to go. Gain should be similar to the downpipes.

@newhan4914 3 года назад

How much of a gain just with the downpipe alone with no JB4? Also, can you run higher JB4 map setting with downpipe and heat exchanger?

cyriljay ramirez Hi, Not really sure what you are asking me. Did I get a check engine light after installing the Megan Downpipes? No. Should you install Megan Downpipes if you already have a check engine light on? No. Fix whatever is causing the check engine light first. Did this answer help you? Please let me know. 🙂

@niklass1641 3 года назад

The hardware just comes loose like that? Like someone just threw it in the box before shipping?

@fixinit 3 года назад

Not sure what happened. Maybe the bag ripped open during shipping, or maybe I did it while unpacking or maybe someone had a bad day and just threw everything in there. Lol. Nothing was missing so it’s all good. 👍

Do you get the CEL? I heard “need” to used a spacer for the o2 sensor, but some said it isn’t necessary.

@fixinit 5 лет назад

Antonio MAN FANG No CEL here. I think you only have to worry if you install the full downpipes. At that point you will need a tune anyway.

@@b58forever I did mines today. And yess it definitely gives you a boost. If your not heat soaking it has enough pressure to push you back into your seat for sure. If you ever done an axel back or ams intakes you should install a lower down pipe to restore the lost pressure on air

@ptatohed4471 5 лет назад

Perfect timing. I just received mine today. I paid $150 on ebay, no tax, no shipping. I bought them with an ebay gift card I bought at Target with my Red Card which gave me 5% off the gift cards. Then, I get the 1% ebay bucks back, for what it's worth. So, I essentially paid $141 shipped. My hardware came in a bag, too bad yours did not. Is there a big weight savings? How did it drive/feel? Any CEL? Thanks.

@fixinit 5 лет назад

ptatohed Hey Great deal! I forgot to weigh the Megan pipes but the stock ones are about 16 lbs. combined. Maybe you can weigh your Megan pipes and let me know. Probably saving around 10 lbs. I got no CEL and car drives and sounds like stock.

@ptatohed4471 5 лет назад

Thanks for the reply FI. Ok, so my install went pretty well. There were a few upper flange connections where the supplied bolts were not long enough (two flanges + gasket + lock washer + flat washer = barely enough or not enough extra bolt threads for the nut to catch). One I barely got and another I gave up and bought a longer M10 bolt at Lowe's. Also, on the passenger side, if you leave the O2 sensor in, it's too hard to tighten the nut behind it. So I ended up taking out the O2 sensor with the DP on the car. If Megan just swung the O2 bung around the pipe, even 5 degrees, it would have made a difference. Also, this happens to me every exhaust job - lol - instead of taking off the bolt, I take the whole stud with me. :S That happened a few times. So, instead of the Megan-supplied nuts/bolts/washers, a few connections were made with the OEM stud and nut. No CEL. Sound might be a little deeper. No test drive yet. Ok, as for weight.... I added in the OEM support bracket and bolts that can be removed with the Megans. Here's what I got: OEM passenger lower DP (with removed bracket): 9 lb 8.4 oz Megan Racing lower DP: 4 lb 13.8 oz OEM driver lower DP (with removed bracket): 9 lb 1.4 oz Megan Racing lower DP: 4 lb 12.2 oz Thus, about 9 lb weight savings. :)

@fixinit 5 лет назад

ptatohed I used the OEM stud and nuts too if they didn’t come off. Way better quality. The hardware Megan gives you is not the best. I overtightened one the nuts and it started to strip so I replaced it. I kept the brackets in the car for now. I wanted to see if there’s a way to support the Megan DP like the OEM pipes. I’m sure that not using those brackets is putting extra stress on those flanges and they may crack over time. Nine pounds is not bad. Thanks for the info. 👍

@ptatohed4471 5 лет назад

@@fixinit FYI, passenger side bracket and bolts = 1 lb 4 oz, driver side bracket and bolts = 10.6 oz. Say, ~ 2 lb total for the brackets.

Blame the Biden administration for cracking down on these off road aftermarket parts. Just buy it used or have a muffler shop custom make it.

@liax2gar291 3 года назад

Is it absolutely necessary to get a tune at all after install. I don’t want to mess with the ecu

@fixinit 3 года назад

It’s not necessary. However, to get the most out of any mod, a tune is recommended.

@robiinla 5 лет назад

is there a difference in stock exhaust and with the lower downpipes?

@fixinit 5 лет назад

Almost no difference in sound over stock. I'm sure there's a performance gain since there's less restriction, but I haven't noticed a seat of the pants difference.
