Well Well Well 147 Dollar Headers came into
OK first impressions
Not bad at all for 147 i couldnt go wrong .. the only thing i dont really like is how the downpipe intercepts the second header, its at a fine angle .. just dont like how they set the pipe up although internally im sure its the same as every other one (ill take pics in a few)
So ... what else
OH YEA
THE INTERIOR WELDS AND CONTINUITY OF PIPING INSIDE PUT ALPHAWERKS TO SHAME. Seriouslly, i looked at these and I instantly thought of the rip off alphwerks was in regards to quality.
The welds look great on the outside, the headers came with the gaskets.
The flanges (ie. heads) are a bit wierd though they have the piping connected to it so theres that circle on the head/flange ............ the only thing wierd is that on the actual flange theres a small amount taken out of each circle on both sides (running horizantolly .... it loooks like an oval was shimmed out of the flange if the oval was centered in the circle from the piping .... Hope you were able to follow
)
Anyways ill be installing at 5pm tomorrow. The O2 sensor looks like it should fit fine with no problems, as it is in the stock location
Ill keep you up to date

I will have pictures in a few .... the interesting thing about them is that they have the labels like alphawerks does .... however it looks like it said megan on them and then it looked like someone tried to cover the letters by polishing over the pics ... ill take some high quality close ups of the badges (yes there are two)
ill have pics shortly .. i have financial accounting hw .. eek lmao

They should be megan defects on ebay. Fitment shouldnt really be a big problem, but they didnt pass the inspection test for some reason and doesnt come with warranty. Enjoy the headers.
Also, why did you buy another set after you fixed your AW?

those cutouts are for little metal ring gaskets, get some new ones if you can, they are cheap
at least i think thats what your talking about, pics would help

Megan Headers have a plate tack welded on to the header, If someone wanted to removet that they could easily pry off the plate and then polish the tack welds, either way to get off the Megan racing badge you'd have to take the whole plate off, I honestly don't see anyone polishing the Megan down to flat metal..

I had to get my mechanic to cut those bolts off and loosen the O2 sensor.. I knew those two items could prevent me from doing the entire job.... He didn't even charge me to take out those bolts...
I't a pretty straight foward install after those two items are addressed
