What parts are on the car?

Some people around here will say that they are crap and for you to go spend thousands on cusco, spl or another huge name brand. They are good parts, not the best but they do work. Their coilovers get good reviews from people who actually use them allong with the rest of their parts. Hell im rockin a downpipe and exhaust from Megan so they are ok in my book.

Some parts i wouldnt purchace from them such as coilovers (ya i was thinking about it so no need to quote me from another post) but thats not saying they are bad just there are other choices for a few hundred more that are a lot better.

It's okay, especially since it's already on the car. I have a Megan turbo elbow and it was a definite noticeable gain over the stock elbow. I believe Idahotuner on here built a 400 whp. He was using a Megan Racing exhaust manifold and it held up for him. As long as it isn't cracked, it'll work just fine.

As long as it's not a moving part, I'd say Megan racing is fine.

I'm using a Megan Racing manifold, turbo elbow, and downpipe for my KA-T setup and it's holding up.

ive had megan coils since...07? no complaints. But i would agree that they are a hit or miss company... ive heard alot of negative feedback about them.

I have Megan tension rods on my S14 for the last couple of years and no problems with them. Of course, I only DD my car. If I were to track it, I might use something else.

My friend is running a Megan manifold, runs perfectly fine.Another friend was running a Megan manifold and it cracked on him. Hit or miss, I'd just leave it on, and if it cracks replace it.

Megan racing is known for their prices on parts but the downfall of using it is quality control. For instance, 2 guys bought the same product, but why one of them broke? If anyone wants a good quality part, they would have to come up with methods of ensuring the parts rolling off factories are going to hold up for some time, and that costs more money.

Meh, everything breaks, everything has bugs His manifold could have cracked do to a manfacture mistake or it could have been something he did. No way to tell for sure.

A friend and I have been using megan rucas for years, they have held up well. I inspect them every few weeks anyways to make sure the welds arent cracked etc and they have been good and handled a good amount of abuse.
