I am looking into buying a megan header as an aftermarket replacement for my cracked h22a header until I can get a rmf, smsp, etc. I know my current header has a flexpipe and was wondering why this Megan header does not and will it make a difference?

not sure why it doesn't have the flex pipe, but a friend of mine bought one of those headers just for a replacement when he did his motor swap, and he says it works just fine.

 

did his have a flexpipe? I mean...I would rather it not because that would be less i would have to worry about with an exhaust leak but i was just making sure it would be fine without one.

 

naw, it didn't have one

 

i got one and it did have one...i think it might just be a picture of a product not for necessarily your application

 

ok, that would make sense...I have a JDM H22A so for my application it might. I didnt even think about that. If it does, Then ok...If not, Then ok.

I have one, it also has a flex pipe.

Remember, don't connect the support to the back of the block.

Why do you say that? I think I read somewhere that it will rip it off or something like that?

mine is broke in half now also

 

Mine cracked and I had it re-welded. I went through this process several times in few thousand miles. When mine would break it would pull away from the pipe and cause a huge exhaust leak. Since removing the braket, I've had no problems and it's been 12-15k miles now.

 

sounds like i don't need to connect the support then and everything should be ok. Thanks guys.
