Default IS350 with meagan racing headers?

Why hasn't anyone put the meagan racing headers on an IS350? I talked to meagan racing and they said it fits fine but you need an o2 simulator which is only an additional $40.00 I was just wondering why people were acting dissapointed about lms not making a header for the 350 and hoping mazzuri would make one.. when there is a meagan that will fit

It's because people on this board think they're too good for a brand like Meagan. Welcome to the Lex-*** family.

i dont think thats what it is, when those headers were released and for a while after that all we kept hearing was that they only fit an is250, now we here that they can fit an is350, i dont think anyone wants to drop the money to find out

theres a thread on them, but they were bought off ebay from a retailer. the welds are not nice at all nor is the collector. the pipes are not the optimal design for creating the most power. mazzuri is developing them or has said there will be a set out for our cars by the end of this year, those shoudl be quality parts. mazzuri is a memeber here on the forums.

they fit the 350 and the 250, engine blocks are virtually the same. they developed the headers on a 250. megan is ok stuff, just these are not quality at all.

I don't see a lot of people having problem with Apex-i stuff... And Megan shares a lot of products which they both re-badge themselves...

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....

The welds on the Megan headers are actually not too bad.
