How are you liking it Z?

Yeah that exhaust looks great. Megan many years ago used to produce low quality products but in the last few years the quality control has been great on a lot of their products.

I love it! Completely satisfied with Megan-- it looks oem installed which is a big plus. Definitely gotten better quality-wise, like Reg said. The only thing is that since it's only single-walled(unlike your Touring), the oxidation has given it a gold-ish color. But once I get a DA system I'll be able to polish it back to stainless steel one day

I'm kind of thinking of getting a local shop replace my resonator with a smaller one to hopefully beef up the sound without losing too much backpressure. I love the way it sounds, but I wouldn't mind it being a little louder haha. Sounds beautiful going through my school's parking structure though!

Good to hear you are liking it! Did you try a metal polish on it?

You totally don't need a DA, I actually use this procedure with very light steel wool and it came out perfectly:

I would suggest using the same process with what ever your favorite brand of metal cleaner is
