megan cat-back

[03_silver_8g]

the 99-02 megan cat-back fits 03's, doesn't it?

[WarmAndSCSI]

Yes, it's still an 8th generation Galant. I bet it was just a typo.

[03_silver_8g]

okay...just wanted to be sure there wasn't a weird change in the exhaust system in the 03 model before i went to buy the cat-back. on megan's site it says 99-02.

thanks for clearin' it up :)

[fatal1]

yep should fit fine, no changes in the exhaust, it has anice sound to it too

[Nesian]

yessir
Have it on mine and I love it.
Has a deep sound, not that fart cannon sound.

[MFDOOM]

would that fit for a 3.0 V6? or just the 2.4

[n3oAcid24]

i check it out man. it will fit both...

[03_silver_8g]

is it really loud?

[n3oAcid24]

is it really loud?

nope.... its good deep tone. if i go WOT it does get a little loud but how many times are you going to go WOT outside of the expressway????

[03_silver_8g]

right....

any thoughts on the silencer?

[run1206]

not too loud, nice deep tone, i love it.
short clip of how it sounds on my G:

the silencer is good when i go cross-state and i don't wanna get drowned out by the constant tone. i can barely hear it when it's on, i'll make a video with the silencer on later in the week.

[n3oAcid24]

right....

any thoughts on the silencer?

it comes with it. when its on, it sounds good man. not loud at all..

Has anyone that owns a Megan Cat-back actaully noticed HP Gain??
I have a Short ram Intake on mine, Im looking for headers and a Cat-back, just wanna know what would be the setup with the most HP gain and not so high on price.

when i installed the cat back, i also installed the headers and i left some gains. not too much but you can feel it accelerating faster...

[run1206]

X2, i got faster accleleration from my Megan cat-back, maybe +5 hp (optimistically)

[n3oAcid24]

maybe +5 hp (optimistically)

hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!

[run1206]

:lol: :lol: i really don't know the real gain from the exhaust, other than it being louder and better air flow, gotta do a dyno to confirm

[n3oAcid24]

it sounded funny... thats why i laughed. LOL!

mine was about 340 shipped, though i think neo got his for cheaper. check ebay, should be some good prices there.

there you go man...

[xxarmandxx]

yeaa i love that megan racing cat-back sounds just the way i like...not like a piece of shit fart civic

[n3oAcid24]

thats because a lot of the civic guys just go to Auto Zone and get a can from there and weld it on. a Galant can sound the same if they have the same half ass parts... :shock: trust me, ive seen one in person....

[Rambo819]

what do u guys think about magnaflow street series mufflers? Do they sound ricey?

[bmore303]

Magnaflows are fine on Galants. Personally I'm using a 7 inch Round body that's not classfied under either "series." Nice deep tone that hasn't made any farts through the entire range.

no, magnaflow sonds nice to me, have heard a couple of cars with them on, and it sounds really good. another good choice in exhausts.

[Serstylz2]

I got magnaflow too...

MY MUFFLER DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT ANYMORE

[bmore303]

Lol it's not as big as it seems. 7" in diameter isn't too much. Exact model I purchased.

currently my cam AND phone are broken (back to the old school Nokia), but I'll see if I can grab my sister's and get a shot and video.

not recommended, might get too much back pressure, plus it's more weight. usually we go with either a single cat-back system, or a full exhaust with no cat (if your state allows it).

OOOHHHH!!! i though you meant 7" outlet :lol: :lol: but what you have shown seems reasonable.

[bmore303]

ROFL!!! I was wondering why you were all so anxious to see it. I'm running 2.5" from the cat.

[karn]

wuts a big diff in single cat back and a full exhaust with no cat?? u mean no cataliyc converter to make a growling sound?? and how do i check if my state allows it

i think no cat would gain an extra hp or 2, though the sound would be huge though, lol
if you don't have to go to inspections in your state (or don't have inspections in the first place), then you can drive without a cat ( just don't get caught by the cops :wink: )

for Jersey, we have inspections and we have to have a cat on. :?

no really a big difference though, but for some, every extra hp gain is important

[karn]

interesttttingg :P once i get a engine swapped i will try to do a full exhaust no cat first if i like it i will keep it if not i can still switch back to single cat right???

[run1206]

i believe so, there's plenty of high flow cats for our cars out there on the web as well, if you do choose to go back to a single cat.

mm.. hey if ur still online do u know this that if i am installing coilovers do i still need struts?? cuz i wanna do megan coilovers... and i donno if i even need struts anymore and if i do will they last long? i am not doin a major ground eeffect maybe lowering it a couple inchs

ummm.. that part you would find the answer in the Suspension section of the forums. i''m not familiar with megan coilovers :?

[xxarmandxx]

wat did u put instead of the cat, a 2.5 pipe? when i put my megan cat-back in i knocked out all the shit inside the cat, that honey comb lookin shit lol...and it does sound better, and that way when i go to inspection they;ll never kno cuz my cat is still there:)

hahahahahahaha..... anyways, if you buy the Megan Damper kit then everything you need comes in the kit. now you IF you just buy some coilover springs, then yes you will need shocks/struts..... i love newb questions... :lol:

i'm not sure exactly how DMV does the standard readings on the cat, but the honey comb part of the cat might be neccessary for getting rid of some gases exiting the exhaust (don't quote me on that, not really sure). Hopefully in your case, it doesn't affect the readings since the cat is still on.

[karn]

mm.. naw i am plannin on buyin the whole coilover kit which is about $800 and i am pretty sure it has everythin it or does it?

awesome!!! another G with a Megan cat-back :D
i'm not sure, but check our "for sale" section to see if angel (sleeper-vr4) is still selling his Megan cat-back in exchange for your stock exhaust setup.
https://thegalantcenter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59799

300's a good price too.

SLS2000: i don't know any v6s that has the Megan cat-back, most v6s i know have Magnaflows on them. Still...just as good as Megan.

[SLS2000]

Id be intersted but I would like to hear it on a v6 first.

[8G_GTZ]

I have the V6 and I'm running a 3" hfc(basically no cat) and 3" from thee with no resonators to a turbo spec APEXi N1 muffler. sounds pretty beastly. I'm thinking about scrapping the turbo idea and going N/A build. SO I need headers and cams next.

[Serstylz2]

with the header ur shit is gonna be rassppyyyy
