ok, then Megan Racing needs to also figure out why their header throws a CEL and fix it. it isn't acceptable to sell a product like this and have it throw a CEL. that shows poor R&D (unless, of course, the header is sold saying it will cause the check engine light). later this week i'll do the hokey spark plug anti-fouler mod and see if that works....

does this header include any type of brackets? or can you use the stock brackets?

without brackets, this header will crack in a few years.

wouldn't this be the responsibility of megan racing? it's THEIR name on the header, after all. if there is a flaw in the design and/or production, everyone should get the "fix" regardless of which retailer sold the header.
No, Megan Racing has nothing to do with our fix as it’s a fix for the DC Header CEL as well. We are just offering an incentive for customers that purchase the header from the #1 Scion tC Aftermarket Tuning resource.


maybe its just me but an incentive to me would be getting the fix for free........unless it cost over $50 for you to produce..........maybe its just me.

You should say the same about DC Sports, Megan Racing isnt the only one.

Yes, you're right. In my case, I only care about Megan. Plus, the DC Sports header makes no claims of being street/smog legal. It has no precat and is clearly intended to be a race/off-road header. (and everyone who owns one is only using it off-road, of course! *wink* )

At this time till our company does our own testing, we have removed the information that the header isn't throwing a CEL. However our price will remain the same price until it is confirmed. $259 Shipped.

I'm sure the "fix" that they're providing is a spark plug anti-fouler for the O2 sensor to screw into.

Shouldn't the Megan Racing header work without any kind of fix? Has anybody from Megan Racing made a statement about this?

I know I did say in the past to not buy anything from TcTunerz. Well, the gentleman who spoke with me on the phone Sunday afternoon was very helpful. I'm starting to believe that they are a good company...

Your engine bay looks hot I love the carbon fiber engine cover, also good choice bcp same as my tc , I think you should change your hoses it would be a nice touch. Does your header throw a cel?

We will announce fix at the Daytona Scion Exposed event with dyno results!

that is what lead me to believe that you are adding the cost of the "fix" to the price of the header.

The price is $259 and we are offering the fix for free for our customers... Lets just say it starts with an "s" and ends with a "pipe"

Hahaha, if we gave up all of our r&d information we wouldn’t have the jump on everyone else. We will have test information posted shortly; we want to have concrete stats before releasing anything. For “our” customers we will take care of the CEL problem and we are working with Megan Racing to fix the problem with the header system. The tC motor runs really hot which is one of the major issues with adding aftermarket parts w/o remapping the ecu.
