So...I cracked a weld...

Its official, I might be the first confirmed case of a Megan Exhaust taking a crap on their owner...lol

I noticed earlier this week that my car was louder, I figured prolly something was loose or I had a leak somewhere... I checked the gasket where the axleback is, its tight and even.

Then I decided to go ahead and check to see if I had a crack in the muffler, piping, whatever...nope, not that either. So then I decided to check the welds around the "flange" where the axleback meets to the midpipe, yep...there it was, inside weld has a small crack in it.

Best part about it all, I never hit ANYTHING within the last week, month, or even a year that would cause the damage to the exhaust...lol

Only plus side to this is, my car sounds a bit meaner, It "putts" a bit now while engine braking. Completely noticeable change in the sound and loudness of the exhaust.


New Header/Exhaust setup coming soon! Contemplating a straight pipe, 2.25'', double res, center tip exhaust.



I dont mean to turn this into a debate thread, but it more than likely will become that. Just sharing my story and learnings along the way to building a better car.
