Are Megan Exhaust manifolds and 02 Housings worth it?

So, had my EVO for a few weeks now and I'd like to do a few more little mods to her and with my budget in mind I was looking at the Megan 02 housing, and Megan exhaust manifold since that can be all bought for around $300. But I'm not new to modding cars(new to modding EVO's though), and usually you get what you pay for, so are these parts junk (prone to cracking, useless, just for looks) or is there a benefit to them? I'd probably buy them and if there is some sort of power gains, I'd then take my car up to Buscher to get it retuned (or have Mellon tune it again, not sure).

Just want some feedback on these items, if I should go for it or just leave it the way it is.

Megan o2 or ebay o2 work well. Avoid the manifold and get your stocker ported.

you think the 02 housing requires getting retuned, or you think I'd be ok?

Get both, send the manifold out to be ported, and no you wont need a tune right away but it is always recommended t get the best results

Ive had my Megan Mani for about 20k I bought it used and still no cracks. I mainly bought it cause it was super cheap and the bolts to the heat shield were snapped off in my stock mani and I hated they way it looked with no heatshield

The megan o2 isnt bad, however the gasket that comes with it is garbage...... If you get the o2, stay with the stock Gasket and throw away the megan gasket.

I like the 02 housing that buschur carries, I ran it with the Green and had no problem with boost creep or cracking etc...
