I have them. They're ok but think I should have gone HP. Fitment was perfect and I noticed alil more power in the high rpm range but nothing jaw collapsing. Hope that helps.

Rep Power: 0 I'm pretty happy with my Megan Header and Megan Testpipe...Pretty clean, fits good, sounds great...alot of power out of them...stay away from DC Headers...stock piping is like o <---this big, DC is like o <----this big, and Megan Racing is like O <--- this big...HUGE DIFFERENCE!...
Megan Racing Header and Testpipe FTW!!!

Rep Power: 0 Stay stock? what kinda crap is that?...what's the point in staying stock...
...anyway, here's where you can find it...http://www.meganracing.com/products/product_detail.asp?prodid=151&catid=24...it's technically a testpipe because downpipes are for turbos...that may be why you were having trouble finding it.

Rep Power: 304 The pic of the Megan Header looks just like the stocker for the 02 Ex. Only diff is the megan is polished and sais megan. Just my 2cent. Go HP all the way I recomend the H26 check out truehonda.com.
...Megan FTW

Rep Power: 304 Ok, OK the megan is shiny and a little larger than stock but it is till the stock design.. The HP H26 set up are all equall lengh and each pipe is about 2 foot long. It is a full one piece setup that increases top end performance. If you are buying a header for show get the megan or DC or something shiny off of Ebay. If you are buying it for performance gains then get the HP IT IS FUNCTIONAL. I am done arguing.

Rep Power: 273 ok is it just my car with 1 header! there are no headers only one. many complain about dc sport header cause there small and some had problems with cracking. i would say megan if any are decent but your not going to get much power at all only sound.

Rep Power: 0 I thought this was common knowledge already. We have already discussed this several times, over and over and over again.
HP>Megan>Stock>DC
Dcs only that low cuz why would u pay to replace your stock with another one?!

Rep Power: 0 Still Disagree, but that's just my opinion...my megan racing header puts out a lot of power...and the guys that work on hondas every day say that they saw more performance out of my megan header and testpipe than the HP header they've put on several other civics...so...my opinion is still Megan...but it's all down to personal opinion...show me some numbers that say that HP is better, then i'll 
to your superior knowledge...But we all agree...STAY AWAY FROM DC

Rep Power: 0 ^^^ Well...if you put it that way. You in the same boat as us, show me some numbers that say Megan is better than HP.
BTW anyone have pics up close to compare all three? That would be nice.

Rep Power: 256 The HP are def bigger than the Megan and the megan are definitely bigger than stock. It is also known that the bigger piping is not always better as you lose bottom end torque; however, the HP has longer runners and that is good for N/A applications. With the megan having a bit smaller piping less bottom end torque is lost however, gains up top won't be as sufficient as the HP. So i'd say there is positives and negatives to both setups. BTW I have the megan shorty header with the stock cat, and there is def more power over stock. Whether Hp has more hp thats still up to debate.

Rep Power: 287 IMO, they are all garbage. I had the HP race header on mine and it wasnt TOO bad, just smells like ****. Megan and HP dont heat treat their bungs where the 02's thread in, and when you go to take out the sensors, youll find theyre destroyed. Its a common problem with these. The shorty headers arent TOO bad, but you just have to be careful with the o2 sensors....theyre rediculously expensive.

Rep Power: 0 I have the shorty header with the Megan Testpipe and it's 2.25" and i can feel a lot of power...and I don't see how you can say that the Megan Piping is smaller than HP...where the crap did you pull that from?
I'm going to get a measuring tape out when i get home and we'll just see...

Rep Power: 256 I'm telling you it is because my buddies' OBX header have bigger piping than my megan header and the OBX are similar in design to HP headers.

Rep Power: 0 (still like Megan better for style and performance...i still have all my low end torque and i have quite a bit of top end power...)...but still ...as i said before...it's all preference i think and i would suggest either to someone...HP or Megan...you choose...i did a lot of research on both...and they were very similar in power...but the deciding factor was the fact that Megan looks SOOO much better... and has the same power as HP...so that's how i decided...

Rep Power: 256 Ya the megan looked awesome when I first got them but now they look like crap after a winter with all the salt and everything from the roads. I don't care though I got them for performance not show.
