you can never know with ebay.
it's even worse with these no name ones where there isn't even an effort to try to brand the products, leaving you wondering if its really a brand name or not.
another problem with this is that its a complete straight pipe with 0 cats, gonna be nice and loud =).

ive seen tsudo on sale on ebay for the longest too. the seller has the same s/n as you too, i have nothing against you but theres also nothing wrong with megan

last time i check the tsudo spipe back exhaust has only 1 resonator. correct me if im wrong but both megan and tsudo would be in the same intensity of "loud"

I'm not bashing on megan, I'm just saying that on ebay, if something is not listed explicitly to be careful to assume anything.
When I posted I didn't have any idea who made them, as the seller didn't mention it in the listing, and I was posting while zer0 was posting.
Personally I would list that it was Megan if it was, it'd probably sell better.

BTW we are the same speedelement on ebay.
We only sell the catback though, I was referring to the cat in the header.

Drift-Spec Series
Our new cat back system is the drift-spec style. Designed to give it a more agressive look the exhaust is angled up and outward. Depending on each car and each bumper design, the exhaust will vary upon the direction and angle that it sits.
4" Tip with 5.5" width Muffler
Removable Double-Layer Silencer, 2.5" Piping with 2.25" Inlet
3 Pieces with Built-In Resonator


sounds exactly like megan

dunno who made the header/s pipe in this package, it looks like that seller sells both the megan racing and "generic" (considerably cheaper) header/s pipes in their auctions.

dude trust me ive seen too many bumper burning this and that with megan. your tsudo vs thier drift spec is a no brainer. a lot of ppl are avoiding the jdm slant.

plus megans 2 resonators is a stupid design, even tho your tsudo has only one it gives better flexibility for the end user to add a bigger resonator or a legitimate cat. ( technically you cant replace/remove/modify obd2 cat unless its defective under some federal law i read )

yea, i know all about the cat thing.
my mustang had 6 (yes six) cats stock, you're not allowed to legally remove any of them even though my high flow 2-cat setup was unbelievably clean compared to them. carb ftw! sorry off topic.

edit... the catback is megan (drift spec).. but the header and s-pipe is their generic brand. they sell the full megan setup.. but it's like $150-$200 more.
