    Perfect timing. I just received mine today. I paid $150 on ebay, no tax, no shipping. I bought them with an ebay gift card I bought at Target with my Red Card which gave me 5% off the gift cards. Then, I get the 1% ebay bucks back, for what it's worth. So, I essentially paid $141 shipped. My hardware came in a bag, too bad yours did not. Is there a big weight savings? How did it drive/feel? Any CEL? Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply FI. Ok, so my install went pretty well. There were a few upper flange connections where the supplied bolts were not long enough (two flanges + gasket + lock washer + flat washer = barely enough or not enough extra bolt threads for the nut to catch). One I barely got and another I gave up and bought a longer M10 bolt at Lowe's. Also, on the passenger side, if you leave the O2 sensor in, it's too hard to tighten the nut behind it. So I ended up taking out the O2 sensor with the DP on the car. If Megan just swung the O2 bung around the pipe, even 5 degrees, it would have made a difference. Also, this happens to me every exhaust job - lol - instead of taking off the bolt, I take the whole stud with me. :S That happened a few times. So, instead of the Megan-supplied nuts/bolts/washers, a few connections were made with the OEM stud and nut. No CEL. Sound might be a little deeper. No test drive yet. Ok, as for weight.... I added in the OEM support bracket and bolts that can be removed with the Megans. Here's what I got: OEM passenger lower DP (with removed bracket): 9 lb 8.4 oz Megan Racing lower DP: 4 lb 13.8 oz OEM driver lower DP (with removed bracket): 9 lb 1.4 oz Megan Racing lower DP: 4 lb 12.2 oz Thus, about 9 lb weight savings. :)

    ptatohed I used the OEM stud and nuts too if they didn’t come off. Way better quality. The hardware Megan gives you is not the best. I overtightened one the nuts and it started to strip so I replaced it. I kept the brackets in the car for now. I wanted to see if there’s a way to support the Megan DP like the OEM pipes. I’m sure that not using those brackets is putting extra stress on those flanges and they may crack over time. Nine pounds is not bad. Thanks for the info. 👍
