I have heard from so many people that Megan products are mostly crap.

Then one person always has to chime in and say that they have never had problems with Megan.

Thanks for sharing the pics...hopefully they will help someone out there.

haha im using those ebay ones....i have the tp's and y pipe and my y pipe broke off on the welds. but we welded it back together and its been fine since. i think its cause i had a smaller inlet pipe on the stock exhaust going with it so a lot of pressure was being put on the small weld

Megans are trash.. raspy noise.. there should be on the no no Z list.. i went through 2 pairs on the.. i finally ended up with the STILLEN race pipes and they are pretty good.. I also got the y-pipe but not had a problem with them.. my headers are also megan and no problem with them but yeah i still consider this brand trash..

That's the straightest friggin crack I've ever seen!

Looks like their manufacturing process put too much pressure on that area when they expanded it and created mucho weakness. Probably a relatively easy thing to fix if anybody over at Megan is sober.

No problems with Tpros, don't confuse them with Megan. I think they are drinking at Megan.
