Just bought one off of EBay. Paid $88.00 for the “ceramic coated” (also see that they carry “stainless”). Shipping was a bit pricey @ $25.00.
Anyways, they came in fine and installed perfectly. The welds look good and it’s a 4-2-1 design. Car feels a little less “torquey” but does seem to rise in RPM’s a little faster (maybe this is mental).
They seem like a good value, instead of spending $200+ on DC Sports or the like.
They have a website http://www.meganracing.com but the pricing is about $180 for what I paid $88 for. I bought them from “built4race”.
yeah i’ve been looking into them. could you tell me tat collector size that yours had? and also, do you have upgraded inteak and larger exhaust? I have the intake and full high flow exhaust. i was hoping the last piece would actually help it a bit more. I like th torque…lol. I am so trilled with how my integra is turnign out, I hope these have the size collector i need.
Well from what I have read from that link, it states that its a “direct bolt on” so I would assume it has a 2" collector, :shrug: could be wrong but when most companys state that its becuase its made to fit without any modification. :think:
For those looking for a 2.5 inch collector the T1R is a very good choice for those with a fairly tight budget (given the fact that 2.5 inch collector headers are already quite expensive; I believe this is the cheapest of the bunch.)
88 is pretty cheap. i paid 75 for my used neuspeed (dc 421 ceramic clone, but with more coating inside/out). ive since had to reweld it a few times due to cracking from bottoming out (most likely).
youre not imagining the quicker revs, plus there’s a torque gain overall with intake/exhaust.
if i had to choose a header again, it would have a 2.5" collector and stronger, thicker material for those accidental bumps. that thin mild steel just doesnt cut it. or i guess if i lowered the crossmember brace thing or made a skid plate sooner i could have prevented it…
can anyone find a 2 1/4"-2.5" collector header fro me. i’m looking to buy, but since this is a hobby car, and I’ve only been outa cleege a year, I would like to stay in the range of the meagan header prices. any links, sites guys?
