Hi,
Was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Megan Racing 4-1 manifold, good or bad? Was considering one to replace my DC Sports manifold as I prefer the sound. and also due to the fact my DC one isnt stainless.
Not sure what's been done to the car mods wise to be honest. It pulls away from my mates ep3 and r32 which made me think it may have had headwork/cams done. It used to have a turbo on it previously so not sure. I had a look at the dc manifold and the pipes seem very thin to me on the lower part of the manifold. I also prefer the sound of the megan racing after watching a video. What manifold would you recommend that makes good power but isn't overly expensive.
I had megan racing 4-1 on my Civic VTi.
Unfortunately the tubes layout not very good and the ground clearance neither.
If your car is modified the megan isn't enough.
I had a Megan 4-1 on my VTi and it allowed my cammed B16A2 to make 189bhp. It was not the limiting factor in my car's setup, the ECU was, I was using the stock one - a P30 with just an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
I will agree on the ground clearance comment, I scraped (but didnt dent) the bottom of the manifold.

My car (99' VTi) was only 178 HP on the dyno with the megan header. (EK9 cams, P28 ecu, Simota CAI, EK9 intake manifold, skunk2 catback sys.) we modified the intake system and then was the car 184 HP.
The expert who did the instalation said: "you should change the header for a better one" and now I have a vibrant 4-2-1 header which is much better than the megan 4-1. Since I replaced the intake manifold (skunk2) and the CAI (AEM V2) as well. I'll check it on dyno in spring.
