thanks guys

 

They will fit. At most, you may have to bend a pipe ( doesnt take much, just use your hands to bend it a little, its no biggy ), and thats worst case senario, so you will be fine with those headers either way, i know a couple guys on this board who own them and they say there great.

 

Those are megan racing headers... First of all they suck, second of all they suck, and third of all they suck. Unless you do what I did and chop it up with oem parts, then it works great...

 

Why do they suck??? That's a great price. And what OEM parts did you "chop"?

 

you get what you pay for

 

so what's more important to you? saving yourself some cash or big headaches.



Comptech rules here.

 

 

Megan and OBX have had:

fittment problems
poor welds (leaks)

But hey it's your money. Buyer beware.

 

You get what you pay for. I had one set of comptech headers for over 3 years with no issues at all...

 

Meghans also have some resonance issues. Quite a few members have experienced them.

Get Comptechs and call it a day.

 

I bought those damn megans and figured out the flex pipes are the causes for the exhaust sound. So I welded the stock flex pipe on there and it works great. But if you are going to just run them the way they are, they SUCKK!!!

 

well with that conclusion that they suck. i guess i will save up some more money and buy the comptech. thanks guys

Smart choice. The only headers that have proven to be reliable, fit perfectly, and have no resonance issues are the Comptech's. Until other companies can prove that they can do this there is no reason to buy them b/c all they do is create headaches.

If and when you need a Comptech header click here for a link to a Comptech Header Groupbuy.

 

I've had my Comptech on my AV6 for about 5 years now and still good. Might be one of the longest running one around.

 

dam guys,.. he doesnt have to get comptechs. Listen, to the gentalmen who is looking for headers, Try to find alphawerks headers. Rezurex has them and they DO work Great. Dont spend your 1000 on comptechs headers when you could save alot and purchase Alphas that do the same shit, regardless of what anyone else says. Ive seen Comptechs and alpha werks side by side ( alphas were proto's at the time ) and they are very similar in quality ( comptech still has it by some though ) but they work, and work great. Rez made almost 20 whp from his headers.

 

Yea real great. Thats why there was a whole bunch of complaints recently about them, people having problems with the fitament.

Stick with Comptechs. Sometimes you can find a pair used for a good price too.

 

And also no Alphas for six speeds!

 

That's the only bad thing.

 

The bottom line is, when it comes to headers anything but comptech SUCKS! Dont brainwash the guy into buying cheap shit. I did it and had to chop that basterd to make it run "normal" not even right, just "normal". Comptech owns when it comes to headers, just save up for it... Good luck

 

i dont have the best luck ever, so i want to go with something that isn't going to give me problems. and 2nd Q, would this affect my warranty???

 

I would stray away from Alphawerks. cliff notes on the recent incident:

-Board member purchases AW headers from group buy.
-Headers end up not fitting, leaking, having crazy resonance, and just a whole bunch of issues.
-Apparently a portion of the piping got warped or something of the sort causing them to not fit.
-Board member tries to return the headers on AW warranty but is only able to get them "repaired" and "remachined" from Nexus Industries.
-I guess they still don't work...

 

i have the megans.
they fit great.
i got them jet-hot coated.
i had some rattling...it was the heat shield on the cat converter.
i had some resonance...i header wrapped the 2 flex joints..no more resonance.
