Ok... looks like I'm going with Megan. I had Megan before and I was really happy with quality and sound. I'm still waiting to hear back from another source about the fitment/tip touching the bumper. If they can't find a fix for the bumper issue then I'll go with Tsudo.

Haha and the loudest automatically equals the best? As far as sheer loudness goes I'd day that ARK/GReddy probably takes the cake thus far.

One thing I notice about the Megans is that I don't hear any rasp!

Aw yeah for sure! I'll have sound and video clips. Steve is right on the Greddy. Or you can add headers with cat-backs to wake up your neighborhood. Lol...

What's the main reason why an axle-back cost more than a cat-back??

Eh, the majority of the time that isn't the case. Let's just say your average axle-back is $450-500. The only cat-back exhausts that are cheaper/the same price as axle-backs are:
- Tsudo ~$400 or less
- Megan ~ $450

Then you have:
- Descendant ~$550
- GReddy ~$800
- ARK ~$1000

Of course the TRD axle-back is ~$550 but that's an exception since it's an OEM part.

Ok guys... Placing my order for the Megan Drift Spec. I'll keep you guys posted. I hope the hangers that comes with it is as good as torque solutions. Just one less items to buy. Oh I forgot to mention, two reps from Megan said that the tip will NOT touch the bumper at all. No fitment issues for the tC2.

Operation Chicago Guinea pig is in full effect! Good luck man!

And the hangers that come look like they are the same design as the TS ones. Even if they aren't quite as stiff, they should still be much better than the stock rubbers

Good luck taking Megan's word for it. I highly doubt a company is going to tell you their product doesn't fit. Megan's products are hit/miss. Just remember Megan's roots are from eBay and cheap knock off products.
And I'm blown away how much these companies sell axle backs for.You can buy full cat back dual exhaust for higher end cars for the same price.

Aww come on don't be a party pooper. Especially after someone just dropped a bunch of money. Just wait and see how things turn out before saying anything negative.
