The quality of their stuff has actually gone up. It's decent stuff for the price you pay. But don't expect to have the best ride, or make the best power. Always remember: "you get what you pay for"

i've heard their coilovers are wayyyyy stiff. never heardcof them failing or anything, though.

as for the headers, i picked one up 2 years ago for my daily. bolted on perfect, gave the exhaust a little lower tone, felt a little more "oompf" lower down, but nothing spectacular.

good company for the money.

I think it depends on the application. My cousin had some megan parts on his 240 also and they were pretty crappy. Around the same time, I bought some parts from them (front/rear lower tie bars) and to this day (over a year) they haven't failed. The only thing I ever bought from them, that failed, was the front h-brace for a 92-95 civic. Other than that, the parts I have gotten from them never failed (coilovers, strut bars, header)

Wack. I got the 4-2-1 header it leaked at every connecting spot and their gaskets did not even fit. Do not get it! I had to learn it the hard way.

of all the people here that have negatively rated megan racing's products, only 1 person has stated WHY they suck.

real credible reviews there folks.

I had a Megan downpipe, Headers and full exhaust on my old WRX. I could not complain for the price I paid for it. Fitment was good. It rattled, but that was my fault for offroading

I think their stuff works fine. Yeah it's not name brand, but take a header for instance. What are you going to get a DC one and pay 500 for nothing. There was a post in here showing what header made what kind of gains on a dyno, it showed that unless it was a race spec. header that you wern't doing much without supporting mods, maybe +3 to +10 hp max to the wheels. I got a megan header for 200$ you can't beat that. Works fine, by the way who ever was complaining about gaskets, I realized that I probably wouldn't be getting the best for 200$ so i got new ones and it works fine. Fitment is great! People just hate cuz it's not name brand.

Yea, you want to find application-specific feedback on their stuff. I've seen numerous threads on all different sites that are just like this one. Some people have great luck with them, some people dont.

i have a header from them, no complaints. i have some gauges from them too, they seem to work good, but the one is slightly dimmer than the other, might be a wiring problem though

my buddy just put their coil overs, he likes them.

i had a megan exhaust on my old 240sx, i thought the fit was great, welds, sound everything was lovely.

a friend had their turbo mani. which developed a hole in one of the tubes. so i guess it just depends on what you get from them.

in the end, i would spend some money on their products again

Whack. Made poor quality parts for Nissan, so one is to assume it is the same for Honda.

I do not like the hit and miss quality people are speaking of. IMHO I would save a few extra bones for something a little better, and know the quality and fitment is going to be decent.

A lot of the times people get the 'bad' product while others get the 'good' ones. I would rather save the money and not risk getting a 'bad' product from Megan.

I got 2 strut bars and a c-pillar from them. But I guess any bars would do a good job as long as they're on right. But Ilike them.

I got a HFC/test pipe from them to temporarily replace my failing OEM cat, that was about a yr and a half ago maybe,and it's still holding strong. Not to mention,I only paif $50 for it. Can't be mad about that. As far as their products go for Honda, I'de give them a B to B+. Value wise.

I would only buy Megan C-Pillar bars as they're all probably the same hollow POS anyways.
