got a practically new 3" megan downpipe the other day for 55 bucks. after some wasted time trying to fit it to the stock cat back, i noticed it wouldnt fit at all. So i went searching and couldnt find a megan cat back. I was already thinking i would just go to meineke and get a custom cat back(for 95-99 awd), but im just wondering, which cat backs will fit onto the megan downpipe?

 

why wasnt it fitting onto the stock cat-back? was it cuz it was too long/short, or that its didnt have the right bolt pattern on the flange?

 

it was long enough, the bolt holes dont line up. Theyre different diagonally

 

What catback do you have?

I was planning on buying a Megan downpipe for mine. I am not sure now though.

 

just the stock one. What cat back do yOU have?

 

Greddy Evo 2.

What size piping did you get (downpipe)? 3" piping right? Are you putting that on with your stock exhaust?

 

yeah its a 3" downpipe. I wanted to connect it to my stock cat back for now, but it wont work. I also just called meineke and they said it would be $300 for the custom bent 3" cat back, then some extra for muffler.

If your greddy cat back fit to the stock downpipe/cat, the megan downpipe wont fit your catback without modification. You could probably take either part to meineke or any exhaust shop, and have them re-weld the piece in the right place.

 

it might fit mine actually. It came with a little extra piece that connects the catalytic converter to the my catback exhaust. It connects to my 3" catback and sizes down to my stock downpipe. It about 2-3 inches long, maybe shorter.

 

oh wait a minute. I just remembered that i also received a converter piece that the guy made himself. If i can find a camera, ill take a pic.

But for right now, i do have a tiny comparison picture my friend took with his phone last night.

 

okay found a camera phone. Heres the pics of the converter.



I think im gonna try putting it on again today if i can find some bolts, and ill take more pics
(note)-the downpipe is turned on its side.
