if you have to pick, obx or megan?

say you only have 2 choices, between OBX and Megan product, which company has a better reputation? Though i know both arent exactly big well known names, but between the two, which would it be?

please no smartass replies like "oh i wouldnt touch both...ect...."

i'm just testing out the reputation of these two companies.

I had a megan racing filter and it was great and i had no problems what-so-ever. but, at the same time also have obx underdrive pulleys and they're awesome too, so i give a thumbs up to both (since i've never had problems with them)

I once knew a gay guy who called himself OBX "Other Boys Xcite me"

no I'm just messing around, OBX seems to be acceptable, alot of people get their LSDs and seem to enjoy them.

i personally dont have any bad experience with these companies, had an OBX universal muffler once, quality was nice, sounded great, no fart can noise at all.

i got screwed over majorly by a chic named megan but thats another story..........

But anyways, in terms of quality i'd say Megan was better, i've heard a lot of bad shit about obx.

it seemed likek OBX putting out more produts than Megan, they have valve covers, plug wires, LSD, and wider array of stuff compare to Megan. I'm not sure that is a good thing, either they're good and able to make more products, or just put out a bunch of mediocre products to keep the market saturated.

The 240 community seems to like megan products especially their coilovers. From what I heard Megan Racing coilovers are made from the same factory as the Apex'i N1 coilovers.

Between OBX and Megan, I'd go for Megan.

Obx makes decent stuff as does megan.

Obx isnt a manufacturer (sp) they are just the name brand. Like the LSD they make is made in japan by a 3rd party and obx just markets it and sells it.

Not sure about megan.

thanks for clarification, but it was just a general question, not sure if it's tech related.

So OBX isnt to blame for possible failed products? More like the companies that made them? It seems to me that OBX is a bigger company because I see more exposure of their name than Megan. But i think Megan is growing quickly.
