What do you mean by name brand. Are you looking for greddy, hks and brands like that? With those brands you pay for the name. Megan racing is as good or better in most cases.

True but even if i buy any name brand (not top one), i bet it doesn't make any different.

I would do a search here on tuners for brands/quality. I don't think it's as big a deal as turbo setups though, but I'm not N/A so haven't done the research.

With a turbo setup the header has to support a lot of weight and with the combination of weight and high heat from a turbo application they easily crack on crappy headers. So N/A being not near as much heat and weight you might get away with cheaper headers, but like I said I'm not real sure past that

"Good" as in it will make roughly the same amount of power for the 5000 miles before it cracks? "Better" as in you don't have to save up for it, you can afford to pay $150 for it right now? How would a product that is a stolen, reverse engineered copy of the original, produced using inferior materials and unskilled labor be better? Please explain and link to these dyno tests proving power gains from switching to Megan products. Is this kind of like how all Intercoolers are the same because you had one bad experience with a BS overpriced nutswinger core from a BS overpriced nutswinger vendor who's cores just plain suck, and a cheaper one worked decently for your moderate power levels?

It not even that. Dont try make it sound like my car anit fast. I have two 420a motor. One motor is gonna be my DD and it will have some somewhat power. after that, I will start my second 420a motor as a turbo motor.

First off, the megan header is a good quality part. Second it is well known that some parts from supposed high end vendors are as shitty as some of the lower end product. 3rd you have no idea of the setup i was running thru the intercooler, or what other intercoolers i have installed on the many many cars i have worked on in my 15 years working on these cars. That was just one example. Thanks for trying to talk trash though.

[jayson427]

I have ran an obx for about 6 months on a n/a build with no problems. Wish I would of got a 4-1 but its alright you only lose a little bit of torQue but I like the look of 4-2-1 better

what you trying to say?

 

[avenged5]

Just to chime in for obx, I had their header on my 4g63 N/A for over a year with no issues.

I have a used 4-1 header and downpipe from when I was N/A If you want it ill let it go for pretty cheap.

just so you know, the header pictured in the link with the name 4-2-1 header, that's still a 4-1 header.
a 4-2-1 header was four pipes that merge into 2 pipes, go for awhile, then merge into one pipe. that picture is 4 pipes that merge into one pipe.

just fyi.

Well i dont know of any megan headers dyno but this $400 Greddy Header only picked up a measly .0.4hp and 2tq so those reverse engineered products don't have much competition to be "better " :

And to the OP you can try this second link for further potential progress as the dyno showed a increase of 5hp from cam gears and 2hp for a tune up. Check others profile for further build information. Good luck:

back in the day with my ESi i had a"chikara" 4-2-1 header that was made by headman headers, good all around header and not to pricey. just my 2 cents.
