#18
Like a breathe of fresh air....
I have had Megan and DC products on past vehicles, top notch build quality for both. I'd buy Megan exhaust over the borla just because of the welds.
you really have to take a lot of posts here with a grain of salt, there's alot of trolls who think their cool 'cause the can finance a car and drive it. Not having any hands on tuning experience, and base their opinions solely on what they've read on message boards....

And no, I don't have my experience tuning or engine building from forums.

I'm just saying that there is a lot of uninformed opinions floating around here that are perpetuated by other uninformed opinions.
I haven't personally seen the Megan headers so I can't say what the internal welds look like, but I had Megan down-pipe back exhaust on my Subaru, the welds were nice inside and out...

look at the honda/acurs. the premier tuner comptech, who is now under new management developed a set of headers for the 3.0/3.2 CL/TL's. their headers coast a lot but they are quality headers, which not one i have heard has ever cracked, i had them on my old acura among other comptech parts. i also had a pair of SSautochrome/DC sports on my car before the compechs, the quality was sub par, they were cheep, they didn't fit exactly right, and they cracked and sounded horrible. I then bought the comptechs and never had a problem, they were perfect. you get what you pay for. megan racing downpipes on the subies are pretty good quality will not doubt that. not everything they produce is quality though IMO and experience.
i take things that are said on this forum and forums in general with a grain of salt, but there is some very good information that can found.

^^^word.
DC stuff has fallen apart on me as well.And yeah the welds are poor quality as well. It doesn't help that AEM bought them out. Their stuff is known to hit the consumer before through testing. Their electronics are especially problematic. Their CDIs caught fire on over a dozen supras.
Comptech stuff is way superior. Out of over 100 products I've installed of theirs not one of them has ever fallen apart or had any sort of issues with. I still have cars running out there with over 8 year old parts that still hold together w/o a problem. And yeah their welds are perfect.

I don't think the fitment or quality is really the biggest reason not to install Megan's IS250 header on a 350. I don't know much about header design, but I would expect that the optimum sizing of the primaries and collectors would be different for the 350. On top of that, I've owned other headers "that fit" from Lightspeed and DC Sports, and they made zero gains, and I've seen many cases on other cars where they made losses.
