i didnt know megan was crap, i really didnt. i just had never heard anything bad but if thats the general concensus i wont get them lol
as far as the racing beat the cat-back is good i u wanna run stock boost...
if not... ull need a bigger ex. ex. only flows as good as its smallest diameter.
and the tii ex from them isnt too big, my friend said he could hear the ex. hissing like a stock one does when i came to 12-15psi when i had my racing beat catback.
i sold it and got 3"pipe got it bent welded to a fart can.. no more hissing. quick boost. and it sounds like the Racing beat, just louder

i track my car and it looks like you auto cross yours as well. the exhaust isn't going to give you the improvements you're probably looking for. don't get megan coilovers theyre trash. i suggest koni sport with ground control coilover kit if you grip or powered by max coilovers if youre a drifter.

Megan is actually a pretty good brand.
I've driven a few 240's outfitted with them.
I was under the impression that something was wrong with your home grown exhaust, and well lets face it, nobody likes an exhaust leak.
However you can save alot of scratch and find some awesome lightly used coilovers in our FS section.

^can u not jack thread, kthnx.
Really I don't see any issues with the stock handling, then again my 7 was never beaten on (Its all original suspension parts tho...)
After I got a K&N and exhaust, I was very happy. I have no intentions to get suspension parts till it really needs it

It's really your choice man, no matter which way you go you will want the other. I got teh REV T2 racing beat exhaust, and now I want coilovers because the car is way to high on 17s. If it were the other way around, I would want exhaust. From the sounds of it, you want the exhaust. It truly is an amazing exhaust system, it sets off the car and gives it a very unique tone. I wouldn't trade my exhaust for coilovers if they were the last sets on earth.
If you go with coilovers get stance, lots of people run them and have nothing but good things to say about them. I'll be going with stance as well.

Don't do it! Save up until you buy them cash, then pick 'em up... Think of the weight you'll save off your shoulders if you don't owe the CC companies your life, that's gotta be worth at least 2 seconds in a 45 second AX

Agreed, Do not buy coilovers with a credit card. Save the credit card for things you NEED, not want. Learn to drive your car better, play with tire pressure. Those things will help. But anyways you should stay away from credit cards. I would say use them for food and neccesities in life when you have no cash. Or say your motor blows, have no cash. I could understand rebuilding your motor on credit if its your only car. Just what I would do. More track and seat time.
