OBX or Megan

Assume these are your only two options for headers and test pipe... who do you choose and why?

Re: OBX or Megan

Either. They're both cheap, and they both work for what they are. I have an OBX intercooler that works fine, and plenty of people like megan exhausts.

For exhaust I would go with Megan.

Re: OBX or Megan

Either, honestly, but my money would go to Megan if it were me. Megan stepped up their game over the past 5 years, their stuff is actually good quality now. OBX is still sort of the red headed stepchild of eBay.

Either. I also have a Megan O2 housing and an OBX intercooler. They both make ok stuff.

Re: OBX or Megan

The Megan header I had on my 240 was pretty good quality, and it never cracked. The cat-back I had fit excellent, but even though it was a regular sized muffler it was pretty loud. Still, I'd go with their parts again.

For the Lexass?? If so, they should both be just fine.

Re: OBX or Megan

Megan and depending on how much the test pipe is, have one made if better fit can be had.

I have a OBX FMIC and for the money it can't be beat, same with SS turbo back Megan exhaust! But then again, I'm a tight ass and don't want to go to war with my wife.....lol

Re: OBX or Megan

I'd go OBX for Exhaust Mani and Megan for Downpipe / Testpipe.

Megan Manis have had problems cracking in the past...
