Anybody tried Megan Racing O2 housing?
Megan O2 housing and Helix O2 housing are made from the place! If you want to spend the extra $150 on the Helix brand (freaking Gruppe-S brand of generic knock offs). I didn't mean to say Helix stuffs are not good, but definately overprice for a generic or knock off products from Taiwan & China.
I can't say the Megan O2 housing is perfect, but for the price, it is simply a better choice.
Just my 2 cents

Did you read the other posts? Larger o2 housings are nothing like running a cat delete pipe. The catalytic converter is by far the most restrictive component of an exhaust system. If you replace the o2 housing and leave the stock converter your gain will be minimal. The exhaust should always be up graded from the muffler forward to the engine with one exception, the cat. It obviously will not produce much of a gain to increase you o2 housing size and then funnel it in to the stock down pipe, cat, mid pipe and muffler. If you replace your cat with a straight pipe or at least a high flow cat with less resistance it will make a much grater difference in power over replacing the o2 housing first. Then it’s time for a muffler, mid pipe, then a down pope and last but not least the o2 housing for best results. It has nothing to do with cash flow to buy the part; it is the fact that you are paying more for the exact same thing with a different name. MR outlet retails from MR for $199 but can be fount on ebay for less like most anything.
My meaning from that post was that I think a larger o2 housing is a good mod that's all. But thanks for the advice I hope no one on here needed

nobody needs an new o2 housing on the stock turbo.that just seems like the biggest waste of cash. i also never said anything about hks.its funny how you would think that if spending more cash on items,you think of HKS.i think a lot of people are brainwash into thinking HKS is the best 'cause there products cost the most.i'm glad i made your day also.its been fun debating with you guys.looking forward to replying again.

What I was trying to say was it will provide about the same whp #'s as a cat delete given your not an idiot and you have followed the correct path. This thread should be closed My meaning from that post was that I think a larger o2 housing is a good mod that's all. But thanks for the advice I hope no one on here needed

On the first page in your second post you say “helix is great & has a great price.i'm all about the "you get what you pay for" theory” I was quoting you directly. And its funny you say to stop talking about Helix and start talking about MR when you brought up Helix in the first place. I have $$ to spend on parts but not to waste foolishly on names as I said before. For being such a waste the o2 housing made me noticeable improvements in spool ups and a bit more power up top with the stock turbo. You can FEEL the difference when you punch it at high RMPs over the stock one but you wouldn’t know that now would you? As far as nobody needing an o2 housing; no one needs any aftermarket parts on there car it will run fine with out them. But if you have the $$ to spend and want more performance then aftermarket parts are the way to go. If you compare the stock o2 housing to an aftermarket one you can easily tell the aftermarket unit is capable of more flow granted the rest of the exhaust is not restricted. And I mention HKS (NOT you) because every one knows they charge more for the name HKS pure and simple doesn’t make it any better then the competitors does it? That was the point not HKS. But much like every thing said here it was over your head I am sure.
.i'm sure that this debate would not be in your favor if it were in person.you really believe that much in a o2 housing,then your a fool.i understand what your were saying about HKS.it wasn't hard to understand.i was just saying it was funny that HKS was the name you brought up when you think of money. i know you don't post much,so i don't want to overkill ya.your still a noob at it.you made your point.you like saving cash,and sporting megan.

Then if you replace the o2 you will get 6-8 hp. Thats all. Of course I can tell from your previous post you know that already.

What I mean is a cat delet will add approx. 10 to 12whp and a o2 housing will be approx. 8whp that's given the turbo back is already in place. All I really mean is it's a cheap way to add some noticable usable whp.

HKS come to mind when I think of there $1500 SS header. You made your point as well. Spend more, get less...truly genius...
I'm pure GENIUS in person .i'm just saying i wouldn't stop until you change your mind about megan.its hard to do this on-line.i wouldn't want you to get attack by someone like myself.i'm not saying attacked like fighting you,i'm saying like someone putting you down in person cause you brought megan or some other cheap part.having hks or any other costly part just means you a big dog.we would get along in person.were just not getting along now.
