Thanks, I would love to know the numbers as well !! It seems to pull harder and have a better powerband (a bit higher). Also the sound now with OBX TB spacer, INJEN air intake, Megan Racing Headers & the GReddy cat back is pretty nice too 8) !!

Sounds like you have nice leak there. I would recomend you get that fixed asap before it gets worse. Before my engine went it out i had a massive leak at the flex pipe, mine kept ripping because of going over speed bumps and coming in/out of driveways. Anyways it got to the point where my car was at idle and it would sound like a dragster v8. pretty nasty. I couldnt really hear the blower whining anymore only when i would punch it. So when my engine is rebuilt and put back in ill fix that.

How hard is it for you guys to custom make these megans to be an exact fit for our cars? And do any of you know if it will bolt up to the OBX catback?

Yeah i am gonna get it fixed, the leak is in the rear headers to the down pipe.

Its not that hard to make it fit unless you know what your doing and have experience with working on metal and exhaust systems. But to someone who doesn't know I HIGHLY Recommend bringing it to an exhaust specialist and have them check for any other leaks while your there too. And yes they will bolt right onto the catback

Here's a short video of the car running. I had to shoot this with my phone so the audio isn't the best, but you'll get the ideal. The system setup again is: Megan Racing header kit, test pipe & GReddy cat back with 1 resonator.
