Richie...come by and check it out...im still waiting on that front grill from you...

Megan Racing installed the headers for me...I left my car there for a day and borrowed their IS250 while they installed it. I wouldnt be able to get you guys a price right now but if theres interest I could get a group buy going for this when they are released.

I'm a nissanclub member and all header installs on our 2005+ vq altimas are throwing ses lights. Wideband is not being nice to us.

Problem lies with primary A/F sensors (attached to exhaust manifold).

There are 2 huge threads regarding tihs issue on the nissanclub forum, many trials and errors, but no success. We are seriously looking for some kind of hero to save us. This has been a PITA for over over a year!

Our ecu's are different i'm assuming, but I was just wondering what it is you g35 owners are doing to get rid of SES after header install.

All info is greatly appreciated... here are the 2 threads just in case anyone feels the desperate urge to scan through it (and i'm hoping someone does =)

The first thread has a lot of info including codes that come up w/header install along with modifications that have been attempted:

This second thread is mostly ideas on how to solve our SES problem:

incase anyone was curious, the cheapo in me caused me to browse megan's site and see what they had (actually went their to make a suggestion for someone)...anyhow they are selling these long-tube headers now, the shorties are still available as well, just posting it because I thought it was interesting:

i see only two major design flaws:

1. no flex pipe before the flange (i would think megan would be cautious about that).
2. short O2 sensor bungs will lend themselves to CEL's.

These both seem to be techniques they have learned and applied on other systems so why not these. With a reputation like theirs, you would think they would want to take certain precautiouns early in the design process.

visual inspection is the bigger concern (in CA anyway).

Yeah Megan has flex pipes on their cat delete pipes (which I have and love) im not sure why they arent on these headers.

Megan has nonfoulers (you can just use spark plug spacers, not sure the name) they can be used on this setup. This setup straight screws you for SMOG testing.

How do the non foulers work? Just plug then into the O2 sensor bung?

do these headers replace the cat/DP/tp? or would i still need to buy those as well?
