any complaints from passengers or neighbors about the exhaust being loud?

Haha neighbors, no not yet at least.

Passangers, yes. The car is pretty dang loud. I don't mind it, but others do. It's not bad at 80 on the highway in the front seats but I have had people say it's pretty brutal in the back.

The exhaust can be tameable if your not on it and just putting along. Once you get on it it gets very very audible from a ways away.

I'll try to get some current exterior videos under load for you.

Just as an addition, hopefully by the end of next week I'll try and post up some videos of the Megan y back system with the Megan y pipe as well as the latest version Motordyne ART pipes. I'm currently just waiting to get my car back from the body shop then off to the exhaust shop to get the ART's put on.

I want to hear that!

I have been thinking about getting the motordyne y with a res. I have the megan y right now that I just bought now though...

Yeah without the resonator there is a bit of rasp but from my understanding after countless hours of reading on forums, the ART pipes are the way to go, apparently HFC's add a bit of rasp. The only draw back to the ART pipes is the cost of course as well as shipping time, it took just about a month to get to me so I'm hoping the payoff is there.

Thank you. If you can get me a cruising video at 60mph that will be great.

Ill get some interiors for you either tonight or tomorrow.

The exterior will probably have to wait until Monday

Here are some videos I took of the exhaust.
Both taken on an Iphone4 ( didn't have my digital camera with)

Thank you so much for the cruising video. It wasn't bad at all at that speed.

Here in NY 99% of the time I drive at 60mph back and forth from work and this sounds good to me. I'm gonna be running stock cats, HR-Y and this system.

I think you will be very happy with that set up. The HFC's I think make it a little too loud but I never ran this system without them so idk for sure.

Yeah and if I feel like it's too loud, I will cut the mid pipe and throw in a Dynomax VT. That should quiet it down.

Well in case anyone is looking through the other forums, got the ART pipes installed yesterday. Needless to say I'm disappointed in the enormous amount of rasp so the Megan exhaust may be coming off and reverting back to stock. Songle6MT I will try and get videos this weekend but at this point the rasp is embarrassing. I would not recommend the Megan Y-pipe, Megan catback, and ART pipe combo to anyone who does not enjoy a substantial amount of rasp in the 2500-3000RPM range.

Bump!


So any updates or complaints? It's been a while.

I suggest removing the resonator and replacing with a better one like :

^ too much $ for a resonator
