Finally recieve my Megan Longtube headers..Now what?

So finally after waiting a couple of weeks my lt headers came in and im still debating weather to go with the install or not...ive heard good and bad things about them...Its not my daily driver so being somewhat loud isnt a major problem, my only mods so far are hks exhaust and z tube besides look good mods haha, whata you guys think?

If it's your first time it'll take you 8 hours... I've changed my headers 3 times already and I can tell you it's a 3-5 hour job depending how fast you want it done.

Sell them and get HFCs or the MD ART pipes. Similar gains with less hassle.

You're probably referring to "xxhotelcrazyxx" - him as well as a few others have longtube headers.

I had the megan long tube headers for a short time after I put on my megan v2 resonated t/ps (sold them obviously) but didn't like it much so I went back to FI resonated test pipes currently. The install took me about 9 hours since it was my first time doing it.

Just put it on, you may like it. I did for a short time but I'm very picky with sound and such- if I had it any other way I'd go with the ART pipes but I'm pretty content with my FI rtp's right now.

Did anyone have any trouble with the megan longtubes hitting your steering shaft down at the knuckle? Mine are right in the way and wont let me turn the steering wheel.
