haven't heard horrible stories about them, but personally, I wouldn't buy them... get a few more bucks and get alpha werks at least....

Some of them have resonance. Otherwise, they are decent fitting for the most part (one or two people may have had problems).

how about hp gains

don't buy them. welds are poor, and the metal is very thin. my friend had a megan turbo manifold on his gsr. welds broke at the flange. turbo dropped, disaster ensued. i have another story, but the same exact thing happened to them as well.

turbo manifolds are subject to much different loads and tempratures than regular headers. THere haven't really be problems with Megans cracking.

As for gains, they are all the same. The difference is in quality.

what about alpha werks? or obx? what ones bolt on the easiest other than comptech that shits too exspensive ritte now

Alpha Werks are the next best it seems. No problems have really been mentioned with them, well not from a number of people. THey are $600 new though now. Almost the same price for a set of used comptechs.

Pretty much COmptech > Alpha Werks > Megan > OBX > Stone (last two are close though) in terms of quality.

But out of curiosity, your car is an auto right? Cause only Comptech has a 6 Speed header. And they are also the only CARB legal headers, if you live in Cali.

you can get a set of alphawerks headers off of excelerate from the vendor forum for approx $400 shipped.

Can someone please explain this "resonance" you people speak of?? I'd like to know as I am unfamilliar with this. Is it just some kind of noise?
