to be honest with you, megan IS already a knock off/copy/fake/off brand/discounted brand

does megan looks and sounds kinda a MUGEN to you..yeah, you get the idea.

megan's stuff is pretty good, the welds and stuff is okay. they are cheaper than comptech(since you said headers, which get me thinking you are talking about v6 ex)

People look down upon eBay, and Megan Racing headers.

From what I've seen / heard, the welds are very nice. The only downfall is the shape of the ports, but a dremel can fix that.

The price tag is a big plus. They are about half the price of a DC SS header.

The ports just need to be cleaned up a tad.

Your gas mileage will increase slightly, and you will gain around 2 - 3whp. Better gains will be seen with an upgraded exhaust.
