Difference between O2 housings?

I've been looking around a few vendors and came across the O2 housings on lancershop. They've got 3 different kind and I was just wondering which one has worked/fit the best with other peoples setup. I've currently got the Buschur 3" DP so it would have to fit with that. Also what makes the price go up on the different peices? Which one do you have and recommend?

Authority High Flow O2 Housing - $158.95





Helix Stainless O2 Housing - $225



DN Stainless Race O2 Housing - $285



Megan Racing O2 Housing - $??

So then the Authority High Flow is going to give me the same amount of power/quicker spool up than the Helix or DN Stainless?

Yep, in fact, I use a Megan racing, which can be had for less than 100 shipped and it helps me be spooled by 2800 RPMs!

Can you provide some pictures or a link for this? If they all do the same thing then of course i'm going to pick up the cheapest one. Also what downpipe do you have with the megan racing? Any problems with fitment?

I'm thinking about picking one up. Just wondering If I should wait and do it when I get the 20g turbo upgrade.

I have the Megan downpipe also. It's all 3 inch with no tapering. Quite honestly, you can probably get your best prices from "jason@ntec." He can get the parts cheaper than I did but he is out of town until the 4th of Feb. I don't really have any pics or a link but there might be something at www.meganracing.com The prices on the site are MSRP though.

So the megan racing O2 housing is 3" unlike the other one which was 2.5 as someone else stated. I'm going to see how much I can get it for local and then i'll start comparing to vendors online and whatnot. If this is under $100 like you said and they all do the same thing than this is the one i'm going to get. I'll sent jason a PM for when he gets back. Thanks.

I found some pictures of the Megan Racing O2 Housing on their website. They've got it listed for $200 but i'm sure I can get it cheaper. Looks good tho

Is there any proof that this is actually worth the effort to install?

Don't buy the ones that are not divorced... meaning the exhaust flow is not separated between the main flow and the wastegate... break out the search as to why as I'm on my way out the door.
