Let me know whatcha think.

with no flex pip you probaly have to have solid motor mounts or motor mount inserts or else u might crack your header or the midpipe

Black04SpecV · 2008-12-04 11:52:06

Looks like the Megan racing midpipe... I had it on my car for two years... It was fine... The only problem with it is the resonator, it's crap and it falls apart pretty fast...

CentraFLSentraSE-R · 2008-12-04 11:54:09

you might want to def look for one with a flex pipe in it or else you can crack your hearder. one of the users on here had a nismo header and it broke around the colloector because of this same reason, there was no give in the pipe.

veeeeee · 2008-12-04 11:55:41

then theres always the problem of the flex part leaking lol

I had the midpipe without the flex section installed for two years without issues or my header cracking.

In fact the flex section can leak pretty easily...

Yes, I had MMI's before I got the midpipe installed...

No midpipe... N/A cars don't have downpipe.

I was fully bolted N/A, before I went to the dark side...

veeeeee · 2008-12-04 12:04:58

technically its a midpipe but megan calls it a down pipe

CentraFLSentraSE-R · 2008-12-04 12:05:25

well by section on this car its listed as header then "downpipe" w/ cat then midpipe, then axle back as i understood it.

NO...

N/A ---> Cylinder Head --- Header --- Midpipe --- cat back exhaust

Turbo ---> Cylinder Head --- Turbo manifold --- Turbo --- Downpipe --- Midpipe --- cat back exhaust

Megan racing calls the midpipe a downpipe for some reason...

CentraFLSentraSE-R · 2008-12-04 12:08:02

ok... sounds good...

4-2-1 has nothing to do with naming the pipes...lol

all these companies need to generalize the lingo to use the same terms....

Steady · 2008-12-04 12:13:51

so whats 4-2-1, i though each section had a freaking name

CentraFLSentraSE-R · 2008-12-04 12:14:53

header(4-2) to midpipe(2-1) with the two pipes to one collector that connects to the cat back

It just refers to the pipe arrangement of the header...

4-1 -- four pipes go into one pipe

4-2-1 --- four pipes go into two pipes than to one pipe

darsondriss · 2008-12-04 12:29:36

i dont think leslies cracked due to no flex pipe. if she had one it might not have cracked but her main problem was the lack of any movent in the header joint and someone probably nailed a bump in it becuz shes got a few big dents in her midpipe.

CentraFLSentraSE-R · 2008-12-04 12:31:00

yeah..... i found a huge dent in the resonator of my catback

darsondriss · 2008-12-04 12:33:45

ya.... the greddy resonator is stupidly big.

CentraFLSentraSE-R · 2008-12-04 12:34:37

yes it is, i need a new "midpipe" for mine. 4-2-1 header here i come
