I'm turning 16 in a few months and i just bought a black xb w/ barola exhaust and i want to put new headers on it so which ones shod i get? (for cheep) and where should i buy them?

megan racing stainless are the best for the money. period.

megan

megan or hp racing

i put on the megan header the other day, i feel a little difference around 4000 rpm. paid about 150 for it with shipping. i would recomend it.

I had Strup- it was amazing- nothing compares to the quality- Nothing-

sure.... i';ve seen a few different headers side by side. yeah teh strup might be the best but as long as the others dont crack ( which stainless steel rarely does , unlike the dc mild steel) theyre the same all dc copies. all same hp. i'd rather spend sub 150 than spend more than 300. or however much the overpriced albeit it marginally better strup costs.

How can the Megan be a copy of the DC when the Megan header was released first?

The DC Sports header and Strup header were designed by the same person.

There will be slight differences in the two designs as one is ceramic coated and the other is not, and will effect how the header performs. Though it may not be noticable w/ butt dynos.

They are a bit expensive, but DC Sports is a great header. I have had mine for about a month, and love it.

i never saw a megan first. i saw the dc first. i can be wrong. oh well i probably am there goes my credability. lol. well from comparing the three theyre sooo similar. megan is in my opinion the best for the money. not the best in general but for the money cannot be beat.

All I can say is that you get what you pay for- I dont believe its overpriced for the quality of the item-
If you want to be cheap, your going to get cheap products- Save up and spend a little more, and you'll get a quality product you can be proud of-

too bad that argument just doesnt hold water here.

like i said strup is better sure. but is it worth the 150 or 200 more? hell no. at least not in my opinion. maybe if i made 3,000+ a month i would but i work my arse off for alot less than that and when all 4-1 headers are going to give virtually the same gain i'll take the 100-150 megan pieces.

I respect your opinion but I have to disagree- I would rather spend $300 once and have a top quality piece- I dont make $3000 a month either, but I saved up for it-

Agree to Disagree-

im curious to see how the monster motorworks headers turn out on the dyno... they look pretty sick. but damn... a retail price of $390? that thing better make some freaking awesome numbers!

get off dc nutz they lost power on h22a and b16 vtecs so whats makes them such a good header .they crack so f a brand name,dc also has over head and adds to pay for megan my not low over head= good product for less

I would say look into EL Prototype headers, just that there site seems to have been down for a while. What are those guys up to these days n e ways?

Get off dc nutz = DC Sport Headers or not that great, so get over them.
Lost power on H22 & B16 engines = Crappy design lead to a loss in power over stock.
So what makes them such a good header = should be able to under stand that :lalala:
They Crack, so f a brand name = DC Sport headers are ____, so dont trust name brands.

That last part I cant fully make out. Something about DC jacking up cost while Megan does not or something.

:rofl:

Thanks- :rofl:

yeah the dc's WILL crack being that they are mild steel. and the oh so cool looking ceramic coating actually keeps the heat inside the header allowing them to crack more easily , and faster.


and i like that we can agree to disagree. lol. but........ even tho my megan is cheap there is no reason as to why i would ever NEED to replace it.

good stuff guys.
