Megan Headers
I remember Klepto or someone had a problem with the bolts cracking on megan headers, not sure if it was just that specific header or their products in general. I have a chance to buy a CAI and Megan headers for $80.
Whatchu think?

They are my headers and intake. The header is not cracked and as long as you dont bolt up the mount at the back of the engine it will not crack. For those people who have had them crack its most likely due to old motor mounts that flex and having the mount bolted to the back of the engine. Im only selling all this stuff because I prefer my car stock.

good to see yer on A-Z.
what do you mean dont bolt them up to the mount at the back of the engine... i've never really looked at my headers, wasnt aware they bolted to anything but the ehaust valves.

sorry i really suck.. you think you could like circle the spot you're talking about in MS paint or something lol. i guess i would only bolt them on at the top couple bolts right where the exhaust comes out... thats what you're saying, right?

You'll see it when you take off your old exhaust ( because its used to secure it ) but you DO NOT need it. I removed the bracket all together

yea i had that bracket attached. but the first problem I had wasnt that. the first problem was that they didnt line up straight into the cat. maybe if i didnt bolt up that bracket it would have 
but stupid me i paid for a shop to cut and reweld it straight, then the fucking bracket ripped off a big ass hole in my exhaust
i got pics of all of it on mny other comp.

well, i bought both today... im gonna go get new gaskets at Honda tomorrow morning, maybe install the headers tomorrow evening. gonna try it without the bracket 
i installed the CAI right when i got back from buying it... sounds fucking MEAN. i love it. i had been running ghetto exhaust for a while (unbolted resonater
) so i hooked up the piping back to stock so i could hear the intake do its thing... sounds great. next is installing the headers, and then comes full exhaust.
i know you guys might not like to hear this, but i think im gonna go with an angled apex'i can like subys and evos
i know it looks good on most hondas, still deciding on how i want the exhaust to look. kinda sick of the mag 14815s and 16s.
