they are as reliable as ebay stuff. BTW megan dosnt make a race/drag header. They are just headers...this is a race/drag header...


race header ^^^^


Drag header ^^^

Scrach the megan muffler...you can get the same style muffler from Angelo for about 1/2 the price. You might get about 5hp out of all thos parts w/o a tune

you will gain more power with a tune then not having a tune after you install all your performance parts.

With a tuner doing the work, you can expect to get about 12-15 HP with a set up like that...
Without a tuner guy/gal about 4-6 Hp like g22cd5 said.

you have to call around some of your local shops. Or ask some local import guys.
You can get a street tune or a dyno tune. Street tunes aren’t bad but dyno will yield more power but more $$$$ for a tune
