great alternative to hks muffler, looks good and sounds good

Guys, I had posted a thread showing my install of the megan catback I got for my car. I just want to let you guys know it sounds awesome, doesn't really have much drone contrary to popular belief, and fits fine on 03-04 sedan.
Below are some pics. I have also posted a video with a sound clip in the video share forum. I have also linked to it below. To skip straight to the sound clip just go to the end of the video.

haha vid is funny man. I got to hear his exhaust in person. Sounds real good.

However, the HKS is just the rear section. It's not a full catback whereas the Megan is. Plus, I believe the Megan is a bit higher in price since it's a full catback. Sounds great though.

The catback isn't much more than the HKS rear section. The megan catback is also a larger diameter piping (3").

I personally took the HKS muffler over the Megan when i was looking for exhaust and i am glad i got HKS. I think the Megan is a little to loud but that's just me.

sounds good but I'm not feeling how it looks like its made from a steel trashcan and how low it sits (j/k, its not really that bad)......

really sounds good though.

mine sounds more aggressive than the clip below due to the cpe mp.

haha

lol about the hanging low.... I bought the hangar and drilled the holes, I made the hanger too long. It will sit higher when I get around to making a new hanger. Also if it is still too low I will have it bent up a little. Only a tinnyy bend would be needed if at all!
