Megan Racing Header. Possible Fraud. HELP

So I ordered some megan racing headers through a vendor. What I received in the mail is way different then any pictures I have seen. The design is similar but there are some noticeable differences.

1) The box says "MEGAN EXHAUST" instead of "MEGAN RACING". The address on the box reads

788 Phillips Dr.
City of Industry, CA 91748
Tel: 626-581-0988
Fax: 626-581-8334
www.meganracing.com

2) The branding on the header reads "MEGAN EXHAUST" instead of "MEGAN RACING". The branding is near the lower collector and not on the middle exhaust pipe like the pictures on their side.

3) The build quality is decent but not accurate. The header does not have the bracing like the pictures on their website.

4) The gaskets that came with the header are composite, not metal. The headers are supposed to come with metal gaskets.

I called the number on the box and spoke with a customer service rep. The representative could not verify the authenticity of the product. They verified the vendor i bought them from is a legit distributor. I emailed him some pics, they should get back to me soon. I have also contacted the vendor but have not heard back.

This is picture of the headers right from megans site.


The pictures of what I received in the mail.




Any help or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did you even Google them before you posted?

Megan Exhaust seems like the name they are branding their exhaust products.




BTW, this lack of respect for this knock-off brand is disgusting. They've become a JDM brand now, so I expect everybody to be on their jock.

I never updated here since my350z is more active. lol

I spoke to the manager of megan racing. The product is authentic. It is the newest version.

Who doesn't like DC sports headers at less than half cost?!?!?!?
