Dont buy ebay special headers. Bad welds that are bound to crack. Get name brand. DC's are inexpensive. Just dont get xspower or ss autochrome, or any other company along those lines. They are cheap for a reason.

Megan racing is a step up above Ebay, and a step below DC.
I have a set on my D-series and it's a really nice peice. It has excellent welds, and the fitment was absolutely perfect. I'd def buy it over some overpriced DC header that makes the same power.

thats what i heard... megan has a cheaper price, yet the same performance as dc & is about 1/2 the price... they look nicer too... i dont think i have heard anything bad bout them

Re: (92civicfreak)
They're a new company with cheap prices, so everyone's obviously dubious.
I don't know if I'd buy some of their products, but their headers get a from me.

I've had my eBay header for about two years now. They may not look pretty anymore, but they still get the job done.

I have Megans 4-1 jdm style stainless header and it looks and fits like a dream. Most ebay special headers are total crap. The metal is burnt from the welding and the welds are weak and prone to cracking. But like the guy above, some may not crack. Its just a lot more of a gamble. I dont like the look of DC headers. I used to have a dc one piece 4-2-1 ceramic header and I just plain didnt like it. Plus Ive been hearing a lot of bad things about DC. Megan is a pretty good up and comming company. Their seats are top notch. My friend has a pair of them and they are very very nice. But a new company isnt going to start out with the same prices as well established companies. So I say go megan before their prices start going up.

Hands down the best deal anywhere, edelbrock. Better than ebay no names, megan, and dc.

I agree that everything has to be jdm and that can get kind of annoying. But this is a style of header. The integra type R had a 4-1 header. Now to get that header is quite a bit of money. Not to mention it can get all rusty and look like ****. But Megan duplicated the header and made it stainless steel and afordable. So Im not saying, yo this is jdm sweetness yo! Im saying its the style of header that Megan duplicated.

x2! WOnder is they're any good. I know some products that primarily domestic companys make for imports kinda suck. Like the flowmaster exhausts for imports: utter garbage. I know edelbrock has some damn nice IM's though...
that header looks damn nice though...

Re: (crazykamper)
I never had a problem with my DC sports 4-1 Jdm type-r SS header. I've been running it for 5 years now, and for 3 years with header wrap. Never cracked, still looks new with polishing............DC is a company that I can trust. It's all about the material the company uses, as well as thickness; if you try to weld a super thin material it will rip/tear/crack down the road.
