Finally ordered these today! I saw these while lurking on M3forum. I didn't think Megan racing made anything for our cars because they're usually making JDM products. The general consensus on M3forum is that these are a perfect fitment and exact copy of the active autowerke headers! I'll post pictures of the quality when I receive mine next week. List price for these are $240, I clicked make offer and ended up getting them for $225, then used the $5 off code that eBay has off any purchase right now! $220 for perfect fitment headers is not bad in my book! Will update with sound clips when I get to installing these towards May/June.

Link to where I bought these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Megan-Racin...ry!92882!US!-1

The muffler in the M3's is completely different than our cars. I'm going to leave stock mufflers and X pipe. Going to run these headers and no secondary cats and that's it

Can you send me a video of how this sounds!? Or do you have any clips posted on YouTube? I've been searching everywhere to hear this setup and it's literally no where! If not you can text or email me one! My headers come today and I'm picking up my section 1 straight pipes as well this afternoon!

I'll see if I have any or take it out and grab one for you. Sounds fairly mellow overall I think.

Well my headers arrived today! Literally in one day. No complaints there. Quality is pretty damn good. The real test came down to fitment. I traced out the flanges and marked the studs from my buddies oem stock headers and then placed the Megan Headers on the stencil. Perfect fitment! Welds are good. Again, there's aren't supersprint headers with the most precise eye candy, but they sure as well exceeded my expectations for the price. Can't wait to get them on, if they meet up with section 1 perfectly than I will gladly label these as the best headers to buy on a budget. See photos below! Also, it comes with 6 new gaskets and 2 header- section 1 seal rings.

I believe I'm the first to order but two others have ordered these too. I'll be putting them on in a few weeks

I removed my stock headers to check fitment on these.
They seem to fit fine. I can't bolt them down until my head comes back from the shop though.

I'm thinking they were definitely worth!

Appreciate the feedback. I will wait till someone gets them fully bolted on as I don't want to waste money on labor at my Indy.
