New toys in the mail today

[Matt300ZXT]

Alright, got the last of my exhaust parts in the mail today. Going to have a whole full on Megan Racing exhaust setup. Here's what I've got:

1993 240SX with CA18DET engine, stock
New Megan Racing SR20DET turbo outlet
New Megan Racing SR20DET downpipe
Used Catco high flow cat
Used Megan Racing 3" catback

I got a great deal on the O2 and downpipe from Dorian at Racingworks.com, he's a good guy and helped me a good bit.

I'll include some pics further down, but for any other car I get in the future, I probably won't buy Megan Racing products. I've heard good things about them, but when I saw how ugly the insides of the O2 housing looked, I'll probably go with different brands in the future. The downpipe looks pretty good and clean, but the O2 housing looks like a retarded 12 year old kid threw it together. There are parts of the pipe, or flange, or welding or whatever that are ground/cut down unevenly and the weld around the inside on the O2 bung is halfassed. Anyways, let the pics speak for themselves...

glad you got a deal on that man. reminds me of some ss autochrome pieces i installed a while back. do what you can to smooth it out and hope it holds together.

Yea Dorian is about a shady ass mofo, I'll be posting up info on that matter in other threads on about 8 other forums. ;)

[Matt300ZXT]

Dorian didn't handpick these pieces for me or whatever, he ordered them and Megan dropshipped them directly to me. It doesn't matter if he took the order, or if Charles Manson did.

[fromxtor]

Oh I'm convinced racingworks.com is owned by Mr Manson himself, looks ok at best probably could have had all that made locally at a exhaust shop or any one that welds in your town.

wtf did you expect? it'll hold together and work just ifne, you're not precise tuning for any sort of high horsepower numbers so it'll work just like you need it to.

[oscarsx]

so what was the price for this?

OMG OMG OMG. that is restricting exhaust flow!!1111 costing you horsepowerzz!!

get real man, it's megan racing. i'm sure you didn't spend that much, and you should know they don't manufacture the upper echelon of parts...

[stinky_180]

that shit looks bad

[turboboost12004]

freaking my worst nightmare....i would not be proud to show these off....especially here on zilvia.net.....that was a waste of money on my opinion....

[Matt300ZXT]

I'm NOT proud to show that off. I was just showing people what their O2 housing looks like, so in case anyone was considering the purchase, they might look to a different brand. If I was trying to show it off, I would have posted OTHER pictures that aren't focusing on the bad parts lol I know they don't make the greatest parts money can buy, but I'm new to buying aftermarket parts for newer Japanese cars (I've always had old school Z cars) so I didn't know what to expect, but I wouldn't think they'd let something stupid sloppy like that outta their US warehouse with their name on it. I was considering getting some Megan coilovers and Megan suspension parts, but if that's the sorta quality I can expect, even at a lower price than huge Jap tuning company's names, I'll just save up a little more or get some decent used parts made by bigger companies with better quality control...hell, ANY quality control lol

[MURPHY]

looks to me like it will work fine lol

but yea cheaply done cause you cheaply paid for it.

[Antihero983]

+1 for having a CA

and yeah dude megan is cheap, why didnt you get a Trust/Greddy downpipe? it really isnt that expensive, and its alot better quality.
