I've had mine for a while now and they haven't cracked.

there is one downside and a trick to not make TP's crack in general.

The problem with the Megan's is that they will make a rattle sound when the RPM's wind down at around 2-3 RPM. Also, you will get the subtle "metal ringing" sound at WOT.

Gains? Oh hell yeah. I felt a major difference.

As far as keeping them from cracking, I used large hose clamps to support the Y-Pipe to the chassis to take the stress off the TP's. Works great.

well before you go spend your money on those read other threads about them...there are a few that have had no problems with them but plenty of others who have, including me.

i ate threw one resonator within a month and this isn't even driving that hard with them. honestly you get what you pay for and i'd look into another option. the metal walls are VERY thin on the megan and it's close to 50/50 chance of getting good welds...mine were decent

if you want a good TP without breaking the bank get the APS ones, i've had them ever since switching off the megans and i've had no issues with them at all, great welds, great quality.

ive had these resonated pipes for about 6 months now and they work well. nice finish on the metal, flex couplers, and they matched up with my headers and y-pipe perfectly. I had the same rattle, but it turned out just to be my y-pipe, so i changed it and the rattle went away.

If you guys didn't know, get some large hose clamps and support the y-pipe to the body to take the stress of the test pipes. This will help against cracking.
