are you guys talkin about a group buy for the cheap headers? hell if they take any more of the price off they'd be damn near free.

 

fill me in on group buy also

 

I'm down for group buy. Fill me in also, Thanks

 

Here's another pic of the welding job, mine just came in and will be going on a type-s.

 

Why does the mounting holes look really big?

 

kind of tough to tell. the welds look more precise, but the question is their strength, not their precision. i am debating on trying these or the alpha werks.

As far as the group buy goes, I can set it up right now BUT i messaged SOOPA a while ago and never got a reply from him. Which means i cant sell on this forum.

 

I just bought a set off Ebay for $242 shipped. I'll let you know how it goes by next week.

 

let me ask you guys a question,

wat is the main reason u would buy headers?

hp gains right?

how do u even know these headers even give any HP gains? If not wat the hell is the point in buying them??

Until I see some dynos on these headers or a lot of feedback on them I would buy them otherwise its a waste.

 

I'm in for group buy.

 

this is a good point. i hate to be overly skeptical, but so far all we have is butt dyno's. i haven't found an official dyno from megan either, but they *have* been making honda headers for a while now. they make them for the prelude & civic. i scoured a few boards last night to read up on them and the opinion was divided half and half. they also make them for nissans (or so i read). i checked out their website but didn't find too much of interest. hopefully someone can keep us posted.

I'm also a little skeptical, but the comptech header performance is well documented, and these are basically comptech knock offs, so it stands to reason the performance may be in the ballpark.

I know there are a lot of "ifs" there, and they are not exactly the same headers, but in light of the info in front of me, I felt at $242 shipped it was a manageable and controlled risk.

Would I try this on everything, no - but headers on a car is not exactly rocket science. I look forward to hearing about others experience with these headers, and will relay my own when I get them installed in about a week.

 

i think you made a logical choice all in all. the savings are worth it most likely. i think i may order a set and have a friend re-weld them just in case.

well if we get good results from these headers, i am def in for a group buy.

 

In for GB.

 

To reset the ecu i use to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery for about 2 hours. Plug it back in, let the car relearn its idle, it will sputter a lil and sound like it will shut off. Give it a few minutes. After it feels normal take the bitch out and driver her like you stole her. Drive it hard. Redline the shit outta it. Drive it like that for a few minutes. Leave it in auto also if you want the car to be more aggressive when it shifts. That day you prolly wont feel much, but for some reason when the car is left overnight and turned on the next day, the power improvement is there. It should feel peppierr and such.

 

looks like they might be setting up a group buy here ---> http://www.v6performance.net/forums/...ad.php?t=42954

 

Thats weird. I was just eating lunch with the owner of megan and he doesnt even know about the groupbuy?

 

any more info about the preformence gains after the ecu reset???

 

No dyno runs yet. But according to the butt dyno, people said its around the same as the obx gains which are similar to gains from alphawerks and comptech.

 

hey mike have you gotten your megan headers installed yet? Imports@uci is having a dyno day tomorrow...we coulda checked out the gains there

 

for reals? What time tomoroow? I wanna get it installed but could never find the time

 

they're meeting at the flagpole at 7:15 AM tomorrow morning and then driving to the shop. You have to contact them soon if you want to go, but seeing that the headers still aren't installed yet, i guess you'll have to wait til next time. They have dyno and tech days every so often. I'll let you know when the next tech or dyno day is so we can see results.

 

Argh ! It's not CARB certified ... that sucks !!!

 

I know these headers are not CARB certified, but I've read posts where 3 other readers who had headers other than CT's, got smogged and passed the first time. I don't remember any other them were runnign Megan's or not, but since they're all the same, I would think the results will be close.

 

OVERBOOST I just sent you a pm.

 

what happened to the group buy?

 

i just emailed the seller and he claimed these are Megan racing headers and that is the actual pic. You think he's a liar

 

i was looking at this also.

 

megan headers have two flexpipes

 

They do look really big as compared to the Comptechs. Large tolerances...at least you know they will fit tho.

 

i believe bigman once said to reset the ECU...disconnect the negative wire from the battery for about an hour, then go do alot of wide open throttle runs and your ecu should be reset

 

either that or he just doesn't know what the crap he's talkin about. Is this the same guy that said a v6 header was 4-2-1? i'd be very careful guys.

 

Group buy has started on the other site.

anyone dyno'd yet?

 

Finally got the Megans on. Cost $120 at the dealership. The kit showed up complete with all gaskets, bolts, etc., and the box wasn't even dented. everything was packaged well and looked very good.

I was told installation was a snap with no fit problems.

Performance improvements were noticeable right off the bat, with no rattling or resonance. The sound is nice but not overpowering.

I paid $240 shipped for my set - all in all well worth the $$. Anyone getting these headers will be happy with them.

 

excellent, should be getting mine soon...cant wait

 

Mmmm.. no resonance.

 

I didnt have any at first either, just remember to re-torque your bolts after a while, cause Ive started to get some resonance recently.
