Default Megan Racing Long Tube Headers

Alright guys, I've been searching around and can't find any info on them here. Anyone have any experience with them or know of any real info on them? I'm really interested in the whole long tube header idea after seeing the 30WHP gains that SG Motorsports has been getting. Any info would be appreciated and if i missed a thread on it feel free to post it here and lock this one. Thanks for the help

in the past, Megan couldn't even figure out how to make test pipes that didn't crack.....food for thought

you're not going to bolt on even 1/3 of 30whp worth of power from long tubes unless they are properly done units...and that inherently means parting with significant coin

^ u guys that say megan longtube suck never had longtube headers lol. I got em, and they look and perform great. And guess what, they were $225 shipped from ebay. Go ahead and buy your $600 shorties (no offense), but to me longtubes make more sense when it comes to maximum performance. My only concern before getting these was quality, but after seeing them first hand i was impressed.

And the guy with the longtubes that ran 13.3, he did it with only intake, exhaust, plenum,longtubes with stock rims/tires/ypipe in 88degree weather. Nothing else, and he has 115k miles on the Z with no tune/tune up lol.

If you're comfortable with putting $225 headers on your car, then rock on.

umm...dont longtube headers replace the testpipes/cats?? (i thought i remember hearing and asking about that before)...if so you dont have longtube headers as you have the test pipes. so you really have no idea what you are talking about there so you may as well just STFU yourself

uuhhhhh WAT? I HAD test pipes/oem headers, i now have the megan longtubes. I think i know my own mods People do change their setup u know lol. i was saying that people that bash on these longtubes never even seen aftermarket headers for them to talk about "QUALITY". SH*t they probly never even seen their own stock headers knowing it'll be a pain to get to.

or you know that there is better use of $225....

but if you enjoy em, then more power to ya (in a figurative sense) - gotta love those 2.25 inch outlets....mad, mad power being made there

All these threads with "my friend has", or "my boys got 'em", yet no one ever has any real insight - no one dynos before or after, no measurements taken to compare them to stock. So how is it better? Because it's shiny and arrived in a brown truck? The best you hope to get is if they do is take a video so we can all see how wicked and mad JGTC they sound - without any #'s whatsoever to back em up.

welcome to the modern iteration of my350z - if it's not stock, it must be better, right?
