Default Opinions on Megan Racing...

I'm thinking about ordering Megan Racing headers for my SR next week. My only worry is that they are so cheap (~$160) and i'm worried about the quality because I know headers usually range between $400-$900. What's the quality and durability on Megan Racing's headers?? People that have SRs with it on, any problems?? The price seems just to good to be true, and I just don't want to get them and then shit out on me later. thanks.

They use to have problems with cracking due to lack of support. The newer versions are updated, we have not heard much about them failing.

We have them in stock and can BEAT $160....by far.

megans manifolds are pretty quality. i know of many people running them. whether they put out real power gains or not is to be seen, its minimal but for the pricetag it isnt bad.

has anyone else seen a somewhat critical power gain, or does it feel like stock??

Also, how are their stainless steel O2 housings??

The O2 housing is pretty much the same as the GReddy, never really have heard any problems with them.

a variable to consider is if your catback has the correct number of mounting points. Some of the cheaper manifolds crack due to the stress caused by their catback systems, because the weight from the exhaust pulls down on the manifold. just something to consider.
