Default My Impression of Megan Headers

I put some Megan headers on the other day. It took about 12 hours during two days. The fitment on the drivers side was perfect, but the fitment on the passengers side sucked ***. The top left stud was two close the piping for me to put a nut on it. As for the sound, I had injen exhaust and test pipes before and I couldnt tell anything differecnt in the tone what so ever. I was hoping for more of a growl. The only difference now is the rasping starts at about 3500 rpms instead of at about 4000 rpms. I thought about getting with jetcoated but just put some header wrap instead. So my arms was constanly itching during the install. I dont think that the upgrade was worth it. I cant tell much in horsepower difference, but I will have to take it to the dyno to find out.

That sucks >_<;;;

I'm putting my megain headers in the Spring. You definately should feel a difference with headers without having to go to the dyno. But then again, you do have test pipes, so your exhuast is already pretty free flowing.

I hope you get a difference from the dyno, or my install is gonna be useless too. BTW: how did you fix that nut not fitting problem?

I could fit get the nut on their. I tried filing the nut down on the sides hoping it would fit then, but its just to close. Also, the weld on the bracket were it says megan on the center pipe was having fitment issues for stud on the middle header pipe. The passengers side was a real *****. That dang coolant pipe doesnt make it any easier.
