I *am* chasing an exhaust header leak right now, which may or may not be my own damn fault, but at least visually these headers lined up and bolted down easily / flatly enough. The gaskets that they came with were garbage so I just threw them out, FWIW.

Tons of people have been using these with no issues. The EGT on these are located in a different spot and the bungs are positioned correctly
Yeah, I think this may be the same thing. I bought the Manzo headers from eBay about 5 years ago and am experiencing all of the same problems that folks have complained about with their earlier builds. Nice welds, install flat enough, but warp with use. Given the rest of my build I have opted for the $uper$print $tepped option but I'm as excited as everyone else to hear how the Megan units measure up.
