How are Megan Racing products

Really curious on the quality of these parts...I know they are made in Taiwan but I have seen numerous people say good things about megans parts.

I was interested in getting their test pipe as well as their turbo manifold....

Ive heard nothing but good things and im planning on getting their full TBE (unless i find a better deal) to replace my current TBE. Ive dealt with them in the 240sx world as well with their coilovers and with something with such an extreme spring rate (this was on a street driven car and spring rates were 10k frt, and 8k rear) they were extremely comfortable and handle great.

I have the downpipe and 02 housing and they work great, good welds, stanless and quality is top knotch. Now I have heard other things for the manifold, that is why I just run a ported stock one.

To hear that the manifold is crap I may just go with the DC turbo manifold. Only reason I was gonna go for the megan is because I could pikc it up brand new for 150.00 dollars

Right you are sir!

Replacing a cracked or leaking manifold is no fun, but if you can somehow get it to break within a year, Megan will cover it under warranty.

I've heard awesome stuff about their TBE and O2 housing and they really have nice quality considering the prices. That exhaust is one loud piece though.

dc manifold is not much of an upgrade (id rather have the megan)

you dont need to upgrade your manifold right now until you go with a bigger turbo
if you really want one, save up the money for a full race or a AMS mani

save yourself the trouble

Do an advanced search of "Megan", with "Zeus" as the user

Don't listen to Vendors... they all have something to SELL YOU (yes, myself included)! Listen to the customers though! Read about their experiences. Mostly all good, a few people have had problems with various products. However, I'd say no more problems than anyone else. I've been running one of the first USDM Megan Evo turbo backs since 2004.
