Default Is this a real megan racing header?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V

part numbers seem to match the megan racing sites #'s. Thoughts?



I don't have a ton of $ to spend so don't tell me to buy a dc

Megan headers have a tag welded on runner #2 or 3. I'm too lazy to go outside..


You know Megan is getting good when there are rip-offs of it.

Anyone notice it says it fits VTEC H23? I'd send him a message asking which, because they're a different flange

H22 or H23? Yeah, I doubt it.

My guess would be H23.. Megan seems to like H23 headers.

OBX is considered name brand now, same with Megan. They've both just grown into good companies who can now afford better quality product manufacturing.

That may be the case but when i ordered mine for my 93 h22a the picture showed one with a welded tag. (But my picture actually showed one with no flex pipe and mine has a flex pipe.

OBX just plan sucks and Magna Flow and DC headers are about the same in quality and custom made are the best but you get what you pay for a custom header could cost up to $1000

Ya i have 1 it looks just like that but mine never said megan on the down part like that 1 dose. But i had a bage on the haeder that was welded on that said megan on it but other then that the flang looks the same as mine and the flex pipe also.

P.S the collector on the megan head is only a 2inch so if you want the 2.5 the megan is not the way to go
