hey guys,
well my megan header started leaking and my car sounds like a damn truck . I should off done more research about this header. what do you guys think i should do??? i heard that if i get a ported and coated stock manifold i would get more power out off the car instead of the megan header is that true??? please help me guys

-thanks

 

Did you locate a crak in it or is the gasket just leaking ?

 

i am not exactly sure... but the megan header has the stock gasket

 

I have heard good things about ported oem units, I personally have the GT Spec header and love it.

 

If you still using the stock gasket on the old header it may not be sealing properly. If its cracked you could get it welded. Try to find where the crack is. I had my megan for over a year without issues.

 

Did you replace the front engine mount or install an engine torque damper? Do you have a flex section in your DP? I'm asking mainly because I'm about to install one of these on my car and I'm hoping I won't have this problem.

You do have 400 hp torquing against a somewhat low end manifold ... I wouldn't be suprised if it did crack. Sorry to hear though.

 

Welcome to the club!! I have gone through 2 Megan manifolds already.. The first one had 5 cracks and the 2nd one recently had 3 cracks.. I have the stock manifold back on now

 

Wait. You don't know if it's cracked or if it's just the gasket..yet you make a thread titled "Megan header cracked!!!" ??
It's not just an issue with Megan headers..but many tubular headers. When you have the full weight of the turbo pulling on the header it's likely to crack at some point.
I'd personally use a ported/coated stock manifold over most of the tubular headers.

 

I have had my megan manifold on for about 8K miles and the only problem i had was the gasket they gave me broke open and u could see and feel the air coming outta the side of it, so i replaced it with the stock one....but my 3065 with manifold is coming in next week so im getting rid of th megan

 

ported and coated stocker

 

is it true that the ported and coated manifold out performs the megan tubular header???

 

it makes about the same power

 

do you have a flex section in your dp??
