I am about to purchase this header...

Does it do any good for my specs and I drive the car daily....so I would like to know if this thing will blow my ears or not... ?

Many thanks in advance!

It should get louder than it is now. But should also be fine for daily driving.

You might want to put this in the R53 forum though.

 

No man,

this has to come on a Cooper

thanks for the comment :P

But I heard some complaining about the noise... I had a ss header with replacement cat before... will the megan make more noise!?

 

Did a search for you Coen

Mister Der Abt

What's your feeling about the header!?

thanks for the links

 

Mixed feelings to be honest.
On the one hand, that is the lowest price I've seen for a header.
On the other, I've heard many good stories and many bad stories about this part.

I'm gonna wait and see ...

Kind regards

Main thing I would say is to make sure your motor and Exhaust mounts are tight. The flex joint of the header has been know to break from to much movement in these areas.

 

When I hurd it on my buddys car. Rice..

 

What do you mean by "RICE"???



@mugami... nice tip!

 

I mean it just has a really high noise.

 

Here is an example of a "ricer"

 

Sorry, found a better example

 

Does anyone know how the Megan compares to an OBX or Milltek header?

 

had a megan...was loud and broke the welds on my cat-back because it never fit right...gettin an obx tomorrow

 

Thanks for the info cartar. Please keep us posted on the differences.

 

Had a muffler shop cut the cat off my stock header and weld it onto the OBX. It fits perfect and has no leaks unlike the Megan I had. It's doesn't make the exhaust too much louder; only at WOT.

 

lol i like the fine handiwork, in the bumper trim

 

^ HAHA. I didn't even notice that. Such a classic crappy Honda.
