Cat Back exhaust; Megan or Injen?

[Jay666]

Okay, I am upgrading my entire exhaust, headers and complete exhaust system. I am going with the MMW Weapon R headers for sure, but am not sure about the Cat Back exhaust.

Basically, I have it nailed down to either the Megan or Injen Cat Back.

Does anyone have either of these, or have any feedback on either system, quality wise, sound wise, HP wise?

Does anyone have the MMW Header with a different Cat Back exhaust they liked?

Looking for feedback ASAP as I want to get these part ordered and installed before the weather starts to get crappy in Chicago...

Uhm. Dont think injen makes a cat-back.

They sure do...

Scion tC: Injen Super Stainless Cat Back Exhaust System

Found it for sale on the web by several places.

Hate to burst your bubble, but its an axle back. It goes from the cat behind your axel to the tip. Notice how it doesnt include a mid pipe? Yes, technically it is a cat back, but not a true cat back.

[Jay666]

Ahh, that sucks. I thought something was kinda up with it. Why call it a Cat Back then? Whatever...

Well, this was my other choice and I guess I'll be going with it then...

Performance part from Weapon R intake

Thoughts?

I love the megan. Thats what i am actually going to get

[Jay666]

Cool.

What made you love it? You have some friends that already have it?

Also, what headers do you have?

[bdis3]

I have the MMW. SEXY as hell. And some people I know have the exhaust. And it sounds great with a turbo. (shh im pulling out my s/c and turboing my car! yay)

[Jay666]

Very cool. I've heard that they sound great together too. I'm actually placing an order for both the MMW headers and the Megan Cat Back tomorrow. Pretty excited about it.

What turbo are you going with?

[bdis3]

Custom build. Idk what turbo yet, but
king of big, quick spool turbo
Turbo toyotas manifold
BC cams
Dezod intercooler, piping
megan exhaust,
Valve body upgrade
trans cooler
HSK SSQV BOV
greddy turbo timer
(maybe built engine)


350 maybe 400 wheel hp. by end of january (hopefully)

and then I will be out of cash.

[Jay666]

JFC man. Wow.

Here I am thinking I'm all fancy getting some new headers and a cat back.

That's insane dude. Good for you though.

[bdis3]

thanks. haha you are. most people skimp on the headers and get the ****ty ones.

[Jay666]

I don't plan on skimping on anything with my car, honestly. I mean, yeah I have all TRD stuff so far, but it's not like that's aweful or something. And it's got almost everything TRD has for it...

I figured I'd spring the extra money for the better headers, rather than wish I did down the line. I really do love the car and want to put the best stuff I can on it. The headers and the cat back exhaust are the first leap I'm making in improving the horsepower with more drastic measures. I'm buying them today, and I can't wait.

The cold air intake will have to do for now, until I can afford the supercharger maybe next year.

i got the megan and exhaust and i love it. the only thing is tht cause of the way its angled the smoke from the exhaust stains my bumpa.

[Jay666]

Oh S*$! are you serious?

I don't want that!

I just ordered my headers and exhaust like two minutes ago too!

FYI, after I just placed this order, I was called and told the Megan Cat Back for the TC is on a nationwide back order for at least a few weeks...

They suggested another brand, if I wanted something to ship with my header, that I am not familiar with...

Tsudo??
TSUDO N1 04+ SCION TC CATBACK EXHAUST

Anyone familiar with this name and quality?

Or perhaps The Magnaflow Cat back, which is consideribly more expensive? But at least I have heard of them...
Magnaflow Scion tC Cat-Back Exhaust System Free Shipping

I dunno. I am not familiar with Tsudo, but it's a similar set up as the Megan. The Magnaflow is a more well known name, but the set up is OEM style and not straight through...

UHG!

[bdis3]

I have the magnaflow. I have a clip of it on youtube.

Oh, I thought you had the Megan exhaust, not the Magnaflow (see quote above).

I'm confused...

[bdis3]

I have the magnflow, but I am getting the megan. That was my list of what I am going to get

[Jay666]

Ah, I got ya. Makes more sense reading it now instead of last night at 1:00 Am. Sorry!

I actually found the Megan on Ebay in some EBay stores for only a few dollars more. I'll probably just go with that because I had my heart set on the Megan.
