Megan Racing Headers? Has anyone used these?

[djt]

Hey, been looking at headers for my ek4 and i came across these, Megan Racing headers for b16a. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MEGAN-RACING-EXHAUST-RACE-HEADER-99-00-HONDA-CIVIC-SI-B16-DOHC-4-1-1-PIECE-/280795911205?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4160bd9425 Has anyone used these or have heard anything about these? They so cheap and look decent!!

Cheers ;)

have a look on http://www.d-series.org/forums/

a few guys in the USA say that megan products are pretty good - not top shelf but not crap either

are you sure you want to go with 4-1 headers ... not 4-2-1?
is the car street driven or used for drag/track?

Thanks. Street driven, but love my top end. You rekon 4-2-1? 2.25?

That merge collector seems like a pretty serious bottleneck!

This is for a D16 motor, but has a much nicer merge collector that would work better for high speed flow...

Nice, but what do you reckon of the Megan Once?

And For a full exhaust, all i need is headers. cat b pipe and tip thats it?

Cheers

The megan ones look ok, but with that merge collector you might as well get 4-2-1 headers because the exhaust is just hitting a bottleneck where the header pipes come together on the megan setup

I should note, i haven't used the megan racing, so they may be just fine, but imo its just a cheap "make it work" design...

megan racing is a cheaper brand than most - not top shelf stuff
but they do ok

i would get 4-2-1 if its mostly street driven - you will retain more bottom/mid range torque
