megan headers good or not?
 
Can someone tell me if the megan headers are good?

nop, their collector suck and it would pretty much give the same result if you had your oem header+Test pipe...

if you do headers make sure you take of the best because of the work involve into installing these.

right now the best I have seen here were;
- PPE step header (long tube header)
- Fast Intention Long tube header
- Momentum Headers (shorty header) you will need the DE Test pipe / HFC since they were made for the Vq35De

there is a few nice JDM type header but for the price ,, they arent worth it.

Avoid anything megan racing for such a nice car like a new 370z. Leave that stuff for the honda crowd.

Thanks,

When the install is so difficult and expensive, don't skimp on the part, get it right the first time.

If you open up a dictionary and look up the definition of rice. Your face will be on it. :owned:

J/K man. Don't take it to the heart.

Megan does has a bad rep, as of late thier product has become more reputable !

As stated above only noticeable different is the finish inside and out! Don't think you'll be able to stomach the noise do shell. Out for the Megan's and remove when it's too muh and you won't feel too bad that you spend 1k

You should try out those OBX longtubes on ebay and see how those work for you if you are set on the Megan's. I don't think anyone on here has those yet or have tried those yet.

And so does Ebay brand anything. Not real makes sold on ebay.

Kingbaby 12-17-2012 02:00 PM

OBX is the same quality as Megan!

Welds and collector are *** on both

SS_Firehawk 12-17-2012 02:49 PM

If your thinking headers, just do it right the first time and do long tubes. Anything else just isn't gonna cut the mustard. With that said, ART pipes, TP's, resonated TP's, HFC's, resonated HFC's, they all work well. Headers are going to cost you more money to buy and install than any other option. I still bought them... I wouldn't have it any other way.

Staples 12-17-2012 11:18 PM

Headers are something you can't skimp out on, otherwise you'll regret it down the road.

Let's just say in the 350 / G35 crowd a certain brand's header(s) had a tendency to crack around the welds under hot exhaust temps. I don't know Megan's QA now, but in the past it wasn't good.


Fast Intentions Long-Tubes or forget it! :tiphat:

This setup works with our cars? and it will work with our Y pipes?

SS_Firehawk 12-18-2012 06:34 AM

If you can find a Momentum headers, they just sold out a few days ago. An yes, they will work with our Y pipes. If you buy a 350Z header, you need a 350Z TP/HFC to match, as the flanges are different. That's why I say just get long tubes haha. Momentums were really the only shorty header that had considerable gains.

The reason I'm asking is because I have a nice set of FI resonated test pipes at gome from my G35 thought if it fits why not do it. Would other headers for the DE motor work on our cars also?

SS_Firehawk 12-18-2012 10:25 AM

It will not directly bolt on with the stock header, needs to be a DE header (not sure about HR)

FairladyZ 12-18-2012 10:28 AM

Megan is ****

Megan is the reason HKS left the US.

People buy these crap and force the real companies that put hard work, and huge money into R&D out of business. These guys just copy parts and sell it for dirt, its no wonder why apexi, hks and all the real jdm companies are now gone.

correct, DE test pipes need DE headers. The 350HR headers and cats bolt directly to our headers and cats though. the flange from header-cat are the only differences. design, length, and placement are all the same. I got lucky and got my hands on a set of Momentum headers and for under $500!! just waiting for my resonated test pipes to come in before install.
