can someone confirm that these are megan headers and that they are crap. Starting to here bad things about them and dont wont them on my car if there no good. Also some advice on were to buy non-crap headers for a reasonable price would be good cheers

Im 99% sure that they are, they look exactly the same as the ones i bought, did you buy them off flea bay ?.

As in your previous thread, its not just me ive read quite a few reports of the faliure of these, also at high revs they sound very tinny due to the thin construction of the walls.
I purchased a set of GT spec 2 headers with separate 3 bolt up pipe from Andy Forrest for a good price, they are very good quality systems.

They look exactly the same as Megan but there the ebay ones I THINK. Alot of people say there the same. They seem to crack ALOT esp when heat wrapped. The below threads may help.

must disagree,have had megan headers fitted for over a year with no problems, maybe just lucky.

were your headers wrapped?

yes,they are wrapped

I agree they're crap! I had a set and they lasted 9 months before cracking, prob due to the thin wall thickness.

I've also noticed that the small drain hole in the cover of the offside bonnet vent drains directly above the manifold and surely water dripping onto a hot manifold is never a good idea esp if its of a thin wall construction? Has anyone else noticed this?

StudentScooby

Yes usually results in steam coming out of the bonnet vent after washing car

Anyone found a solution as this must contribute to many of the header failures?

Robin Mullan

This wont have any contribution to the faliures. The faults with them is poor construction, ie, welding, thin walls, not tested.
