nice.... We'll have to go for a run once I go boost...

 

looks good dorby.. you know how much i liek ebay headers ive got an SSautochrome 4-1 with 2.5 collector myself and was impressed with the quality for the price.

 

So when are you gonna get your crooked *** finger fixed?

 

dayam hardcore!

 

not bad...where did you get them from?

 

ebay is where i bought it offof

 

I know 2 people running these headers and they seem to be really good for the price and quality is . the only thing is they like to scrape and dent up from hanging too low. but it depends also on what car they are in and what engine is in the car too.

 

great header. i've megan racing's 4-2-1 on my b18b and it made similar power to some of its name brand counter parts, and it made more than my usdm itr exhaust manifold (even though it made some good power too)

 

Not the prettiest collector I've seen, but not too bad for the price. Certainly appears to be higher quality than the majority of the JDM ITR 4-1 knock-off's that have been popping up recently (though I'll still never understand why).

 

Im using one see sig...

That isn't once of the header's I was referring to. My reference was was to the numerous replica JDM ITR 4-1's, which the header in your link is not.

 

I wonder if I got an older Megan by mistake because my collector cetainly didn't measure up to 2.5"

 

looks damn close . if you want to be accurate never use the hook on the end. start at 1 inch and the tape is covering the highest point of the outlet.

 

hey, i used to sell for megan..

well some of their stuff is made from the same place as other common **** is made from, what you're buying basically is a re-badged generic piece.

some of the stuff is modified like the bored out flanges etc.. but you're buying the same piece as you get from ebay or something.

some of the things i noticed looks like universal ****
- generic "megan" strut bars/body bars
- short shifters
- headers
- mufflers
- springs

correct me if im wrong but i dont think any of this stuff is made to custom spec.

just a heads up

nice header by the way, looks like a nice piece

 

thanks syduck...yea im really happy with my generic megan header for 165 opposed to my 250 dollar or something DC header...same doo doo.......basic performance till i decide to build and get a custom header or a bling SMSP header......

when the collector is 2.5, usually that means the ID is 2.36 or 2.38.

for example a 19 inch monitor...typically the viewable size for any monitor will be a lil less than the advertised measurement.

 

Looks like a vibrant header at a fraction of the cost. to cheap alternatives to decent power.

I should have taken a picture of the outlet with the gasket on. It wasn't even close.

I wasn't worried about the ID. The collector didn't fit my 2.5" gasket.

 

i updated the where to buy on thepost....good luck guys

 

looks like the price went up,from $165 shipped to $165+shipping
