i was looking into some 4-1 megan headers for my gsr
any body have any insight on these headers, if there good or what not

 

i have heard alot of bad stuff about megan headers.

 

4-1 designs can be bad for the street due to ground clearance issues. I haven't heard much about that particular brand.

 

wat have u heard about them, i want to know the good and bad

 

i havent really heard anything bad other then clearlance, if your teg is still stock height then there really shouldnt be a problem, if it is lowered then there is a hitting issue...and its mugen

 

Actually there is a company called Megan Racing. They too make headers.

 

well i have stock itr suspension on my gsr, hah no i know wat mugen is, megan is another company

No its megan they are a sort of off brand that is trying to make their name look as close to the best brand possible as they can. Also about the headers I have a 4-2-1 megan header on my car and it seems to be just fine for my ls. But you do have to take in consideration what people are saying about the 4-1.

shiet so that piece ripped off when u hooked it up

 

not a fan of megan products. they like to break :[

 

i just read this other fforum and they tend to rattle as well, any one think that they worth it?? the pretti cheap anyways

 

megan sucks

 

jdm **** replica mugen 4-1s are pretty nice i got them on my car not too exspensive and the flanges look thicker than those 4-1s deff. could tell the difference in power from when i had dc 4-2-1s but the clearence is not any better just got to be careful

 

i have actually heard some pretty good things about megan.. i guess they are finally getting it together.. i know it used to be cheap welds.. but now they are pretty decent..

 

1 of my friends has them they r really big, alot of noise and it doesnt have DOT ...the quality im not sure off,, but what u pay is what u get....everybody has its own opinion ?

exactly. its cheap for a reason. my buddy had one on his prelude.. dented within the first 4 months with it on.. he knew it was dented.. but it wasnt for a while that he found out that the dent was so deep that it made a hole at the edge of a dent.

on the other hand you could buy one.. wait until it gets messed up.. then buy another one!

 

the megan 4-1 is a great design but just as the other guy said, low clearence, just becarfull, and as for the power gains, you will see some gains but more if u have a full system, as a friend found out it makes a difrence compared to his stock on a dyno. and another dude down my side runs a flat 13 on 1/4 mile using that exhust, so it cant be all that bad, and for the price why not give it a go.

 

lol megan, mugen comes to mind - but its not, ebay special bro, you get what you pay for (theyre listed at like what: 112$?)

 

yea my bad.what i meant was the 4-1 is a great desing in general so the megan will give you some power.

 

im was going to run this exhaust with a cust test pipe and rs-r exmag exhaust, its pretti cheap and its worth a try i guess everyone has so many opinions on this brand.

anymore?? hah

 

bump

 

Just cause its cheap doesn't mean you should buy it. You might as well throw your money away. Whats the point of buying a shitty product and then later down the line spend more money replacing it with a better one. Just save up and buy a better header. Do it right the first time.
