I purchased a Megan Racing turbo manifold a month or so ago, and the quality looks really nice. I've heard of other brands cracking (SSAutochrome, etc..) but nothing about MR. They do offer a warranty against any defects so I figured it would be safe to buy it. I've met a few people who also run this manifold and haven't had any problems at all. Here is a pic of it.. I'd assume the header will be the same quality, but won't experience the high temps the turbo manifold will.

A lot of the headers out are not CARB legal such as the DC-Sports one. But I believe this one may be emissions legal.

Just hang on to your OEM header incase you need to have the car tested.

Hey guys, I just got the headers installed today and I love it so far...except the CEL finally came on about after 20 miles!!! It is also the new Megan Racing header where the sensor is on the side of the header instead of in the front. Power gains are noticable and best of all, it didn't make my TRD exhaust sound like a bumble bee in a coffee can. In fact it didn't change the sound of my exhaust that much!!! I also have the weapon-r intake and so far I love it....Only if I can get this damn CEL to turn off. I'll disconnect the battery then let the car idle for 10 min. I'll let you guys know if the CEL goes away. The DC Sports header makes the exhaust really load because there is not Cat. I'm guessing.

Hey man I'm glad the header sounds good and gives gains, but that CEL sucks. Hopefully you have better luck after you reset the ECU. I'm also running the WR SW intake and TRD exhuast and I really want this header, but not a CEL. Please let us know if you get the CEL to go away. Good luck..

So I reset the ecu, let the car idle for about 15 min, drove the car easy for about 5 miles then drove it harder for another 5 miles. So far no CEL I 'll let you all know tommorow if it comes back. The headers seem to make the car pull harder as they break in...might just be my imagination though. The headers changed colors though...

Good to hear the CEL didn't come back yet. Thanks for keeping us informed and hopefully the CEL doesn't come back. If you could get some pics of the header that would be awesome. Have a good one.

glad to hear CEL is off.
was hard to install the MR header? Does the TRD exhaust add Hp or it is just for sound and show?

I ordered mine today. One reason I didnt want the DC header other then the CEL was the fact that everyone who has it says it ruins their exhaust sounds. I am glad to hear you didnt experience this.

Question...is it simple to install? Looks like I will be doing this one alone.

Yeah!! Looks like I'll order the Megan Racing instead of the Nexus. Thanks FlintMica
for the input and the pricing seems alot more decent than $600 dollars for a nexus header.

Guys just wait till more r&d is done by some of the members that got this header before you go out and buy it. IT is not supposed to throw a cel and its already doing it.
