the only reason i started this thread was because i came up on some good and cheap headers and wanted to know if people had any technical advice about them, not to tell me what i should do with my money. i know ill get more power with other mods but this is what i have right now, all i hear is mrev and intallation is a PITA, ok thanks now please tell me something i didnt know when i got the car.

 

Don't go cheap if you are looking for headers.
Megan headers are no better than ebay headers and quite a few of them cracked.
I wouldn't trust those Made In China products.

 

i wasnt really trying to go cheap when looking for headers i figured i was getting a deal on some good headers, i didnt know they were made in china but that is interesting im not to sure how much i can trust them.

 

you should get the osiris reflash after you work on your plenum. good gains and the car will be able to make sense of all the parts youve added to your car. Megan is for pos civics. Headers on the vq can make some power if there are hfcs or test pipes installed too but youll make as much or more power with the plenum and be able to do the work fairly easily in about 2 hrs or less

 

Headers are something you should do it right or not to do it at all.
I rather get a set of used DC, Strup or Stillen than a set of brand new Megan (But I have Nismo instead which I really love it)

But before you do headers you should do intake plenum which is a great gain on Rev-up. About 15whp gain on over all rpm.
And high flow cats or TP

So plenum>HFC/TP>headers

Headers should be your last thing you do on bolt ons.
Otherwise you can't get the most of of it

 

Bassani is carb legal too!!!

 

+1

Might as well do some cams and long tube headers to get real gains from them.

 

word up well..ive got the mrev2 and 5/ths...and Berk HFC's in place...as well as K+N and ztube...neighbor/mechanic is willing to do the install with me for free with headers so thats not a burden...really stay away from megans? so which out of say strup, or stillen would you say are the way to go?

 

and yes this is an old thread...but its exactly what im thinkin about
