#133376, "M2 Performance Header"




          

Does anyone own or heard of Megan Racing's M2 Performance header?

http://www.meganracingperformance.com/19951999-mitsubishi-eclipse-nonturbo-stainless-steel-header-p-85493.html

I'm just trying to get some feedback on it to decide whether or not to buy it.

Thanks guys.

+1 Yea if your planning on going turbo in the future or not, save yourself a couple bucks and get an ebay set, same exact ones without the welded on logo. Had both, MR and Ebay.

This. Even down to the dinky bolts that come with them. The only difference I noticed was the coloration at the welds.

Yeah, figured that was the one.

Honestly, if you were going to buy a header, get a cheap eBay one or look for a used DC or Greddy.

If you reproduce those, mark my words I will stab you.

They are a pure shit design.

Agree with what everyone said above. Looks just like all the rest of the eBay headers out there, but it costs more.

Before I was turbo I had a cheap HP Racing header that looked identical to that one, and it was a POS. The header/midpipe connection is prone to leaks and is just a low quality design.

Built motor
Hahn 16G Turbo w/ FMIC

Thanks guys that helps.
I figured for that price they couldn't be anything special.
Anyone know of someone trying to sell a used header and downpipe on the site? (prefer DC)
