Default Need info on Megan OE RS S pipe back exhaust

I think I've read all the posts about the Megan OE RS S-pipe back exhaust. The sound is exactly what I'm looking for, but........... there is a lot of contradicting information about this exhaust. Originally, everyone claimed this to be a 2.5" exhaust, but the Megan website says 2.25" .
https://www.meganracing.com/products...=518&catid=102

Then I called Megan Racing (I actually got to talk to somebody), and they told me it is 2.5". I am inclined to believe 2.5", but can anybody else confrm anything?
Next qustion...
Some people on SL have claimed this exhaust is a sound option, not offering any gain in horsepower or torque, and nobody seems to have dyno-tested this exhaust. I asked Megan Racing, and they said nobody has dyno tested yet. He also said I should expect an 8-10 whp gain using the S-pipe back exhaust. Being that I am supercharged, I hope to gain a little bit more.
I know this is a lot to read, but this exhaust seems great, I just need to know if it is worth the money. Thanks in advance for any help.

When I called to verify the piping size they told me 2.35" and yes it is indeed.. because I measured it myself..

I have a video when I had the Megan OE spipe back exhaust here it is..

I currently now have the TRD Axle back put on in place of the Megan OE axle back..
I also bought the megan s-pipe so I am now header back exhaust..
My setup is Stock Header ->Megan S-pipe ->Megan Midpipes -> TRD Exhaust
I also have a video of that and here it is..

Thanks for the reply. I've seen your videos before, very nice sound clips. I love the sound of this exhaust. I will also be keeping the stock exhaust manifold.
Why did you change the axle-back? Did the butt-dyno feel any gains when you got the OE-RS?

That's good to hear that you didn't seem to lose power from ZPI to the Megan. The ZPI is dyno proven to gain around 12 whp. I think this is the exhaust I'm gonna buy. Where did you get yours? I heard C2 auto is a good place to buy Megan stuff.

I measured inside diameter at one of the midpipe flanges. It is 2 3/8" or 2.38" at the flange. I got it installed yesterday. This exhaust sounds incredible!

No leak... you probably have one where the 2 mid pipes meet thats where I had a problem. I would check that first, I fixed the part in the pic as you can see it was angled a little bit up so it moved my axle back up towards the bumper. The one thing I have to say now that I did the mid pipe I get alot of black soot on the bumper, (I still have the front cat).
