Looks like the resonated test pipes are slightly more expensive than EBay, while the Y-pipe is slightly cheaper...

Megan Racing products are cheap china made crap. Buy it only if you want trouble down the road. Just a warning.

Hmm...I can see where you're going with your statement quality is definitly a factor....But I've heard from Neffster i think....and he was saying it's just a Y-pipe....no need to spend say $400+ on one....don't you agree?...are there other manufacturers that are better and sell it for cheap? I was actually thinking about getting this pipe as well...thanks for the advice....

U cant beat the price of the mugan y pipe. a 400 dollar y pipe might be better constructed but a 140 y pipe will perform just as well..

From the picture, it looks well made, nice mandrel bends. Nice woven flex joints. The quality of the stainless really is not that important since it's under the car, however it should be able to withstand corrosion. Also, when you get it, check the welds for integrity. Since it's being sold by a sponsor, you will have recourse. If it were me, I'd go for it.

Just remember it's a 3" collector.
Not the best if you're keeping OEM downstream.

Very good point. That's why mine is for sale. I don't want to use a reducer on the B-pipe.

I think there would be a market for a y-pipe w/ a 2.5" outlet. Why arn't any companies making one?

Thanks guys. I'll probably get it and do the 3" to 2.5" reducer cone thing on the coupe midpipe I have.
