350z longtube headers
Man shut up, dont talk to me like im some moron fool. The cat delete on the longtubes itself gained power. As for the headers, maybe i gained 1hp or lost 1hp who gives a crap. If only you knew how much faster my Z is compared to other stock/bolt on Zs youd understand (ill stop there before i get flamed). And as for your chip, you can shove that up your A$$!
cuz id rather get both the headers/tp taken care of at once. I gained power from the cat delete, maybe on the headers as well. Plus to me longtubes made more sense, rather have megan longtubes than megan testpipes/headers.

i just invented this chip, installation is really easy, you just hold it next to your ecu for 7 seconds, it uploads the custom map by itself via bluetooth. gains 10 whp, and only 150 (50 bucks less than the amount of money you don't care about wasting on something useless), pm me if interested

We all know this would only work for 07-08 equipped with bluetooth!
+1 We need dynos! I am thinking about doing it myself!
Doing A little research OBX has longtube headers with similar design to the ebay/megan. I know OBX are copy cats also, but It is hard to tell whether or not it is identical design as you can see the OBX one has welds on it.

i have to get in this thread im a friend of 1cockyz. i live only 20 min from him and hes a great guy and will be doing most of my work for my car. i also have an 03 350z track model with hfc, megan racing headers, injen td, injen cold air intake, aam plenum spacer, pullies, and aam custom reflash, brian crower 264 cams, and now im at 280 whp on a dynojet, stock clutch stock flywheel, next mods are clutch flywheel, and 1cockyz was telling me to let him install his megan longtubes with his slight modifications hes done to them and than clutch flywheel and osiris uprev dynotune. im hoping to c by posting this to see if i will gain some good results and maybe break 290 whp im only 19 and realy cant go FI since its my dd and dont wanna build my bottom end, plus all motor is priceless wen u got power

I'm resurecting this post.
So I'm ready to start doing engine mods to my TT car. This is a gutted track car so I'm looking for performance. So looking at Megan Longtube versus DC sports standard with test pipes. My local dyno guy says the Megan Long tube give the best performance gains. Does anyone have any personal experience?

Its a TTB car but will most likely end up in TTA after engine mods.
I called Megan and was told thier headers do not clear the subframe on the Z. They are intended for G35. Does anyone have experience with the OBX? I do not wan't to spend $2K on the SG motoersports. I also came across 5 zigen for $900.

that right there is reason enough not to get em...if they can't tell what it does/doesn't fit, and they (whomever answered the phone) aren't even aware that there is no 'subframe' where a header goes, how can you expect them to be knowledgeable enough to design it correctly in the first place? The only thing it has going for it is that it's 1. a 'longtube' (as if that means anything) and 2. it's cheap. Neither of these means it's worth it
a useful, intelligently designed long tube header is inherently expensive unfortunately (Supersprint, SGM, or custom) because of the time involves in testing/re-testing, and the cost of the specialty items like the collectors.
5Zigen is not a long tube - a long tube header, in the most general sense of the word, is one that goes from the header to the Y pipe (or H pipe, or X pipe, however your configuration is setup). It eliminates the need for a separate test pipe. But 'longtube' is a marketing term - it doesn't mean the tubes are all that long (in fact, some short tubes come very close, and some are even longer, than longtubes). You have to understand how a header works, and how they are designed, before you can decide what features, diameters, etc you should consider for a new one.
