good luck this member hasn't been here in a month...

[ChinoCharles]

The holiday screwed me and my payment wont be in until Monday. Sorry guys... promise I'll hop on it first thing Monday morning. They aren't coming until December anyway.

[dngz]

sumbody hunt down ran kizama and oblyuim!

[spkrman]

im gonna be so pissed I missed these later on lol....:(

[eco]

Yes you will,and Ran said she's waiting for her paycheck,ohya spkrman,you might be able to jump in if you get the cash to riceboy fast enough,you could take oblyuim's place.

[riceboy]

Yup yup yup.... what he said!

[Chris07LB]

Im guessing there is still a little time for payments to be collected..

Im also guessing, with or without these last few, someone will be honoring the already paid members with the headers at this price, let it be Megan direct, or Rice.

[dngz]

so are u gonna pay??

[Chris07LB]

so are u gonna pay??

Me? I was one of the FIRST to PAY. Check the GREEN in the list......

[dngz]

whoops my bad! i misread for chinocharles

[vodkalush]

holy shit, are you guys really giving chinocharles shit for not paying yet... he said not more then 8post up that he'd be paying moday; damn.

[dngz]

oh is he?! didnt read that part where he said that! hahaha no we aint giving nobody shit! Just everybody really wanting their headers ASAP! or maybe its just meeeeeeeeeeee

[vodkalush]

hahaha; when in Dec are they being shipped out? (too lazy to go back and read info :smile: )

[eco]

Well I cant wait,and I think riceboy said we would have them mid-December,or will be sent mid December,either way,before January 2010,lol.

[Chris07LB]

Knowones giving anyone shit about anything... people need to lighten up, and READ!

And if I give Charles any ribbing, its all in good fun between us.. dont worrie, some of us have thick skin. :rolleyes:

[vodkalush]

good good; cheers to all :drinking:

[riceboy]

Alright, I've got some great news!!!

Megan is going to honor the lower pricing eventhough we only managed to put together 14 buyers. The final payment will be $190 USD via PayPal or $210 CAD via Email Money Transfer. Please send to albert.wong@sympatico.ca as soon as possible. I will need to get your contact name, full address, and telephone number for shipping purposes. I've been advised that the shipment has been delayed by about 2 weeks, so we can expect the headers to arrive a couple weeks later than the initial promise date of the 1st or 2nd week of December. If you have any questions, please PM me.

THANKS TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS OF ANOTHER GREAT GB!!!

I'm going to send them another email to see if they'll continue to honor the pricing, but I'll let them know that I've received payments from 80% of the participants. The shipment has been delayed about 2 weeks so that would put the new promise date to about 3rd or 4th week of December, anyways.. just waiting on two more payments and then we'll be a go... Obylium is out of the GB he no longer has a Yaris...

From my end the updates are:

1. Still waiting for final confirmation from MR that numbers stay the same w/ 12 confirmed buyers instead of the 14 claimed buyers at the end of the GB.

2. One payment still needs to clear bc it was made by echeque so I'm just waiting on it before I transfer the funds to MR.

I don't think we're going to have any problems, at least I've got my fingers and toes crossed.. anyhow I'll keep everyone updated as to what's happening!!

If you have any questions/concerns feel free to PM or shoot me an email....

[Chris07LB]

2. One payment still needs to clear bc it was made by echeque so I'm just waiting on it before I transfer the funds to MR.


I'd also wait until they can give you a solid shipping confirmation, and that they can actually fill a 14 piece order, before sending them our money.

I know you got it handled Rice, just offering up some advice.

[dngz]

yipee!

[ChinoCharles]

Thanks Riceboy and all the members of this GB! I can't wait to see what they do!

[riceboy]

Order is going to be filled no problem, the parts are ready to ship once I transfer funds over to them. Pricing will remain as quoted *** Big thanks to MR***. My contact just wanted to remind everybody that if there are any problems that they simply need to contact them and they'll replace the piece at no cost with no problems. Testing has been done but since these are first run pieces we have to keep in mind that problems might occur. In any case MR has assured me that there shouldn't be any problems.

Anyhow it's waiting time now.. once all payments are cleared the pieces will be sent out!

[ChinoCharles]

Wait, so they're in the mail this week pretty much? How long does shipping take?

These could be here sooner than we thought.

ya ya ya ya??? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[Ran Kizama]

Wait, so they're in the mail this week pretty much? How long does shipping take?

These could be here sooner than we thought.California to Ohio should be about 5 business days if they ship via UPS. I know that when I ship things from my warehouse to California, it takes about a week to get there depending on if UPS messes up or not.

[dngz]

how bout canada?? lol -___- 2 weeks??

[ChinoCharles]

Nice... I'm trying to squeeze the dyno run in before the holidays.

We should have before and after dyno results for this product. I know we will have afters for sure, but I worked something out with another company today that seemed excited to help out with Megan's new header R&D! :thumbup:

[punch]

Wow, we sure got a great deal? http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2849

regular price is 199.99, so we saved on shipping cost's

and someone said they would retail for over $400 pfffft

[ChinoCharles]

Haha, did Megan really hose us?

[bigsky2]

Hate to be a shit disturber (hey what happened to your title Charles??), but I'd bitch about that price until MR ears start to bleed.

[ChinoCharles]

Oh fine, I'll bring it back. Haha.

Riceboy, e-mail them... or I could do it. I can be very professionally persuasive... :evil:

[bigsky2]

You can remove that title, I was just joking :smile:

[ChinoCharles]

Haha, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like my moniker.

[dngz]

wtf! this is bullshit! we get 12 people together to buy these "prototype" headers from them that they didnt even dyno so we could save a cheap buck on shipping?!

[eco]

Not only that,but they found beyers for theyre intial first run headers,which could have problems,man,this is bullshit,we are guinea pigs,and are still basically paying full price,when can I stop bending over,riceboy please handle this or I will.

[dngz]

yea.. seriously, this is pathetic!! WR Headers look very tempting!

[Galavoxx]

I'd say three months minimum until the WR header is done. Maybe longer. I don't know if I can wait that long.

[Chris07LB]

I'd say three months minimum until the WR header is done. Maybe longer. I don't know if I can wait that long.

I will dispute the paypal charges before I wait that long! :thumbdown:

Ill wait for RICE to jump in before making any decisions.

[ChinoCharles]

I think what he is saying is that that would be the allure... we are saving 30 or 40 bucks on the price of the piece including shipping and we are getting them a couple months before they will be available to the public. If that is the case, we did A-OK.

Listen to Chris on this one and reserve your frustration until Riceboy pops on and lets us know what is up.

[Ran Kizama]

I don't care either way. $190 for a header shipped is a good deal no matter how you cut it. Did we save 40% off the header? No, but it's still not bad considering that shipping on a heavy piece like this would probably be around $30.

Thanks again for the GB. Can't wait to get it in.

Exactly, that's the way I see it. So I still think we got a decent deal.

[riceboy]

Alright guys I'm just getting a chance to read this and wanted to clear up the picture. I just got off the phone with my contact at Megan Racing and was assured that what's being offered by the board sponsor is not happening. The header doesn't have a set MSRP to date and is not available on their website. Chino Charles has already taken advantage of their offer to receive a discount for Dyno Testing.

I've been advised that we are getting the initial shipment and that if there are any problems that we will be getting replacements through their no hassle warranty as promised in previous posts made throughout the thread.

For the time being I hope that everyone is patient and remains calm over the situation. At this time money has been transferred and headers should be shipped by Monday. If you still have any questions or concerns feel free to PM or email me.

Okay, good. I was really confused when I saw that post. I thought I smelled some :bs:... apparently I was correct, and it wasn't Riceboy. :respekt:

Riceboy, tell Megan to be weary of the holidays if they are dying for those dyno numbers. I can either dyno them in the first half of December or first half of January, but speed shops go to sleep for the holidays.

my reply was to Galvoxx, hence the "quote." Read the second sentence..

[dngz]

Do you know which shipping company they are using?? WRLEO sent my intake this tuesday, UPS showed up at my door today (friday)!! Too bad i wasnt home and my grandma thought the brokerage fee was $465.70, instead of the actual $46.57.. damn... if she only spoke english and/or took a better god damn look at the InfoNotice!!!

[riceboy]

Not sure who they'll be using for shipping,.. but I think they'll be declaring a lower value for Canadian buyers so that we get spared on some of the duties and brokerage fees, etc.

[eco]

I have had time to calm down,I feel much better about the situation again,I am in there till the end.

[dngz]

i still cant wait to get it!!

[ProMotionTuning]

Hey guys.... This is James the board sponsor in question with the Megan Header... I have spoke to Calvin first thing this morning about this header. The BIGGEST problem was I had the wrong MSRP price. Other then that guys I am not selling the header nor do I have access at this time to sell the header. I have a real shop where we install items and dyno tune cars. We spokre to Calvin about doing his header install for a tech write up and also Dyno Testing. He did mention he already had a car doing the Dyno testing, I just offered another car to get multiple results to show the great numbers his headers should produce.

Calvin nor ricerboy and this group buy is ripping anyone off nor is anyone being mislead. The only misleading thing was my incorrect MSRP price I had posted. That is completely my mistake and appologize for that but please bare in mind, we are NOT selling headers... Just doing testing at this time.

Thanks
James

[ChinoCharles]

Thank you for the clarification James.

[Ran Kizama]

...

Thanks
James
ProMotionTuning.ComThanks for the clarification. I'm sure everyone here appreciates you actually stepping forward and letting us know what's up. :clap:

[ChinoCharles]

Tell those fucking headers to hurry up!!!!! :tongue:

[bigsky2]

Yes, make them ears bleed man.

BLEED.

Anyhow, I'm watching this thread to see the experiences of each of you with this set of headers.

[Chris07LB]

Who's gonna have them installed first is the question... :evil:

[riceboy]

James thanks for clarifying everything!

I guess the usual race is on..... who'll be the first to have 'em done?? lol....

[Ran Kizama]

I'm on the East Coast, so it probably won't be me :tongue:

[riceboy]

me neither.. but hopefully it happens..

[ChinoCharles]

If they get here in the next week or two, I promise I'll have my car on the jack before you can say supercalafragalisticexpialoyaris. I want to get it on the dyno before Santa sends the world into a consumerism-fueled nose dive!

[ChinoCharles]

Hahahaha SMART ASS!

Wiring scares me a touch, but a few bolts and a gasket... nawwww.

[Chris07LB]

:tongue: yea, we'll see.... lol.

I'll be looking for the reason next to the Megan Header discription in your sig. :bellyroll:

[ChinoCharles]

Thanks dude.

Oh settle down Chucky, its all in fun.

OMG thats funny,I dont think it will be me either,Georgia is pretty far from shipper.

[Ran Kizama]

Any news on the shipping status?

[dngz]

yea, has it been shipped yet??

[redglare45]

Southern Cali should get them pretty SOON! :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

[riceboy]

No word yet.. I've sent out the follow up email and will let everyone know what's happening as soon as I get some news.

[Black Yaris]

I noticed everyone is excited about there headers.... but you do realize we bought one header, we aint driving a boxter 4 with two headers, we only have one singular header..... sorry I just had to add this gramatical leason of the day

[Chris07LB]

Id play the PS3 first.... then tonight, in the garage do your header install! :cool:

[Black Yaris]

looks like Megan realy took care of us on this one, lets see if they end up making the rest of the exaust, would be nice to have a full exaust from the same company, knowing it was all engineered to go with eachother

[redglare45]

[Ran Kizama]

I'm kind of worried about installing just the header now. My buddy just put his header on his Sentra SE-R Spec V with stock exhaust, and it blew his stock exhaust out. So now it sounds like bees chasing a chainsaw. I surely hope this doesn't happen to our Yari (Ha ha! Plural form of Yaris!).

[riceboy]

Damn.. guess those tracking numbers are gonna be useless for some of us.... I'm still waiting to hear back from MR.. but I guess they've already sent the headers out.... hope the installs go well....

Ran - How did the stock exhaust get blown out by the header??

Ran - How did the stock exhaust get blown out by the header??My guess is that it blew the baffles of the stock muffler. Not sure, but the car sounds horrible. We're trying to source him an exhaust now.

[eco]

My only guess would be that the new header/headers burned the baffles,or ruined the cat. which in turn burned the baffles.

header looks beautiful..
can't wait for mine..

anybody wrapping their headers in that heat tape thingy majigy??

[Chris07LB]

Short tubes + cramped space between = PITA!

It's not a bad idea, but im not going to.

[Chris07LB]

Thanks, these things really look like a cake walk now to install!! :headbang:

[ism3t]

so is this going to be an easy install? or should i have a shop do it? btw, ps3, is AWESOME.

[ChinoCharles]

Just be mindful of the torque specs on those bolts.

[redglare45]

so is this going to be an easy install? or should i have a shop do it? btw, ps3, is AWESOME.

I thought you got that puppy installed today. :frown:
I was looking forward to hearing some feedback from you.
Guess you decided to have some PS3 fun instead....sweet.:thumbsup:

[Ran Kizama]

anybody wrapping their headers in that heat tape thingy majigy??Exhaust tape you mean? No, not me. I've gotten more reports of it restraining the heat to such an extent that it actually cracks the header then I'd care to remember. That's a primary reason why some companies such a Stillen ceramic coat their headers.

[Ran Kizama]

Alright you weenies, you've had the header for two days now. Where's the installed product?!

[ProMotionTuning]

Your stock catalyic in the exhaust pipe COULD get blown out but not exhaust pipe... Your exhaust will be a lil more raspy with the MR Header since it removes the PreCat

[redglare45]

Ran, I should be able to get it installed Saturday :frown: . Have to be at work. Maybe ism3t had a chance to install his today.... if he was able to put his PS3 down :biggrin: .

[Chris07LB]

Good god, gimmie mine, ill install it! :tongue:

[ism3t]

nope. ps3 is too much fun. ill install them tomorrow for sure. and take lotsa pics.

[Black Yaris]

Your stock catalyic in the exhaust pipe COULD get blown out but not exhaust pipe... Your exhaust will be a lil more raspy with the MR Header since it removes the PreCat

wehave a pre-cat on our stock manifold?

[dngz]

OMG?!! RASPY?!! THATS THE LAST THING I WANT!!

[Chris07LB]

Lets all just wait until some get them on and report back, before we get ourselves worked up here...

[Black Yaris]

wonder if anyone in the midwest got theirs today? I hope to see mine tomorrow, so I can do the install over the weekend

[Galavoxx]

You're all so twitchy. Anyone want to chicken out and sell me their header? :biggrin:

[Chris07LB]

guess they all went out then? Tracking numbers would have been nice, but Im guessing the East Coast will see thiers Mon-Tuesday..

[dngz]

You're all so twitchy. Anyone want to chicken out and sell me their header? :biggrin:

u wanna buy eh...??? ill sell them to you if weapon-r comes out with their headers :P!!

[ChinoCharles]

SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO SAY RIGHT NOW...

... but in the interest of a friendlier board, the shit disturber shuts his trap.

Bottom line, can't wait for mine.

Hahaha, Weapon R... :rolleyes:

[Galavoxx]

u wanna buy eh...??? ill sell them to you if weapon-r comes out with their headers :P!!

If Weapon had their header out, I wouldn't be offering. haha!! And who got that Weapon prototype header??!!! Nobody fessed up!

[Chris07LB]

And who got that Weapon prototype header??!!! Nobody fessed up!

The one that didnt even fit???

[Galavoxx]

I swear I recall seeing a post where somebody mentioned getting the weapon prototype header in the mail. Maybe I'm going crazzy. :iono:

The search is on!

[Galavoxx]

I found nothing. Guess I am going crazy.

Um, you sure about this (precat) i don't see one on the picture posted above, and removing this precat sounds like a check engine code to me??

[Ran Kizama]

Um, you sure about this (precat) i don't see one on the picture posted above, and removing this precat sounds like a check engine code to me??That was one of my chief concerns as well. I'd hate to blow an O2 sensor or throw the engine a code. We'll just have to wait and see.

Also, for the catalytic convertor concern, I expressed this concern as well and I may have my taken by Random Technology to put on a high-flow cat. We'll see. :smile:

[ProMotionTuning]

Um, you sure about this (precat) i don't see one on the picture posted above, and removing this precat sounds like a check engine code to me??

Just relooked... may be a small collector but not a precat

[ItsMyDaily]

The )2 should not be of worry to anone. If a code is thrown then t's only a $1.50 price fix it nuts from autozone that will work so it doesn't get thrown again. No one should be worrying about anything breaking from the Yaris either. I mean come on guys this things make like 80whp if were luck.

[Ran Kizama]

Just got mine in! WOOT! Also got a black hat instead of a white one!

Question though, why did it come with instructions for installing springs? LMAO

[redglare45]

LOL!...No, just instructions for the flux capacitor....you guys did get one right?

[Ran Kizama]

Seriously, I'm installing mine tomorrow! I'm on the far East coast, and I'm installing mine first?

[ChinoCharles]

We've had about 20 inches of snow in the past couple of days. I'm guessing that is going to delay my delivery a tad.

I hope I get a black hat. Hehe.

By the by, broke 10,000 miles today. I'm averaging 50 miles a day... and I work 300 yards from my house! I can't stay out of it.

Just to make myself feel special. :tongue:

[redglare45]

Yeah, I'm installing mine tomorrow too. = )

[ism3t]

just got the call, its done installing. brb with pics and such.

[Galavoxx]

What? You had it installed?!! what fun is that? Maybe a stupid question since you now have header that you didn't have to install...

[redglare45]

Woo hoo!!!..... Glad to hear yours is done ism3t. Can't wait to see pics & hear your feedback.

[Chris07LB]

Just got mine minutes ago.... :evil:

[redglare45]

Just got mine minutes ago.... :evil:

Cool! :thumbsup: .....So you'll install this weekend too Chris?

[dngz]

GOT MINE!!!!!

[dngz]

CRAP! NO HAT.... BUT A TSHIRT!! omg.. its XL -_-

[ChinoCharles]

Mine came in! Look sexy... I'll be on the phone Monday morning to find out when I get them on the dyno.

If you have a black hat and would like to trade for a white one, PM me. :smile:

EDIT: After looking at them for a few minutes, let me say that that is the most laughably small header I have ever seen. If this isn't the most endearingly tiny car on Earth I want to see what is. How cute! :wub:

[ism3t]

ok, pics are impossible to take, sorry team.

however they sent the kit with metric threaded screws, but apparently they dont fit. my guys says you have to find standtard bolts to fit, so right now i got nothing holding the new headers to my cat, my car sounds like a lawnmower. im going back tomrrow so we can find out what size bolt we need. good luck.!

Sorry bout the lack of tracking numbers I guess those got lost in the mail?!? In any case hope everyone's installs go smoothly. The cats on the Yaris are all located in the midpipe and that's why MR decided not to do the full exhaust. The header as is should be fine.. if anyone else has received their shipment please feel free to update the above list.

[skc]

i got mine too

[eco]

Ive got mine,but it looks like UPS kicked the package around,the O ring that came in the gasket package is smashed on one side,and cracked,the gasket itself is pretty badly bent,but that can be flattend out,and shouldnt be a problem,but the other peice worries me,Ill post pics tomorrow.The install will need to wait,and whats the deal with the screws.

[dngz]

what? there's sumthing wrong the screws? my gasket was a lil bent too.. but i guess once it's on nice and tight, itll be perfectly flat. hmm.. sumbody update with the screws please...

If it's to the cat, shouldn't you use the factory bolts? Hmm...I'll take a look at mine today when I swap it. Worse case scenario, there's an ACE Hardware 2 mins away. :biggrin:

You should be able to use the factory bolts again.

[eco]

Anyone else install,and how important is the O ring that came in the gasket bag,I dont know what that is for,Ive never installed a header.I really want to know if the OEM screws are used for the install,if not,Im not going to install untill next weekend.

[MD2020]

Got mine yesterday, with a Black hat ha!! Looking like east coast got black hats west coast got white hats...

[ItsMyDaily]

what is the size of the collector? If it's bigger then 2" then those with stock exhaust may experience power loss. Can you say bottleneck.

[Black Yaris]

I got mine yesterday, doing the install tomorrow... BTW I got a white hat as well

Somebody get them installed already!!!!!!

[Chris07LB]

Man you guys are a dissapointment.. do I have to go install mine, with bed ridden flu an all?? :tongue:

Someone make us proud, and get 'em on!!!

[Chris07LB]

Go to page one.. looks like they reused the original bolts indeed.

Im guessing the studs included with the new header is for the collector, but not pre-installed?? Humm, maybe they had clearence issues when slipping the header in place, with the studs installed before hand?

Man, I should just suck it up tomorrow after work, and get mine on!! This is soo unlike me to have mods sitting. :thumbdown:

Chris, I thought you would have a write-up for us already.

I got mine on, used the stock bolts & nuts on the header & collector. Everything seemed to bolt up fine. No issues with it yet. No check engine codes. Took it for a drive and drove it for like 25 miles :burnrubber: and so far so good. :smile:

[Chris07LB]

Got my sick ass outside, and in 15minutes, its almost complete..

Pictures to come shortly....

[redglare45]

Great Chris!!!

[punch]

is it really that easy??? i hope so, alot of so called easy mods turned very difficult with rusted bolts, etc...

[Ran Kizama]

Mine's done! No hang-ups at all! All the parts went on great! Also...

NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT! NO RASPY SOUND!

The car sounds relatively normal, just a little louder inside.

The hardest part of the install was the removal of the stock header. Putting on the Megan takes about 15 mins. Good stuff! Here are some notes I'd like to mention...

1. All the stock bolts and nuts that hold the header to the engine are reused.
2. I had to hammer on the new donut with a rubber mallet. Easy.
3. The three studs, bolts, and washers are for connecting the header to the exhaust pipe and to the little bracket right there.

The car doesn't seem to have lost anything down low, but the top end is a lot more spirited. A quick dash onto the interstate brought this to truth.

Thanks for an excellent group buy! Good luck to all those still waiting to install! :thumbup:

[Chris07LB]

Pics are being edited as i type... Ill make a completely new How_To post. :cool:

[Chris07LB]

I got mine on, used the stock bolts & nuts on the header & collector.

DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL COLLECTOR BOLTS!!!

The original bolt is tapered, and will only thread so far... Use the included 3 studs, to replace the bolts. (1) for bracket (2) for the collector.

[Black Yaris]

the general time from for this install is 15-30 minutes total? Were you using a lift or at home on the garage floor?

[Chris07LB]

DIY How_To is Complete.

:thumbup:

[Galavoxx]

Just curious as they look pretty beefy: what is the diameter of one of the header tubes?

[Galavoxx]

And thank you for the how to. Another great job!!

[ChinoCharles]

Rock! Nice Chris, thanks!

[Black Yaris]

I stopped by my mom's house to show the header to my step-dad (who is a machinist & hot rodder) he thought this header was VERY nice, thick flange, and nice welds

[eco]

Ok,I gather that the donut is the peice that came in the bag with the gasket,is it ok for that to be cracked and beatin up alittle.

[Ran Kizama]

Good write up Chris! I've been enjoying mine. I'd really like to see it come to life with an intake and exhaust.

[eco]

Can anyone answer my question and ease my worries?

[dngz]

what is that piece for?? if not, WARRANTY!!

[Chris07LB]

Can anyone answer my question and ease my worries?

As long as its still "round", and installed like in my post, it will be fine.. its gets sandwiched to shit (As in fits perfect in the taper) anyway once the collector is tightened.

Guys, bump the How_To post for your fellow members. :cool:

[Chris07LB]

Good write up Chris! I've been enjoying mine. I'd really like to see it come to life with an intake and exhaust.

I modded my stock intake before doing the header install last night, and that alone, woke the car up a bit. Im sure with the addition of a high flow filter, it may net even better gains.. but im happy with the 10minutes work, and the results I got. :biggrin:

[eco]

Thanks Chris.YOU DA MAN

[Black Yaris]

Header officially installed, the donut realy does get squished.... I am going to go back in a retouque everything in a few days after everything is rattled into place

[riceboy]

great diy as usual from Chris... hope everybody gets a chance to get these installed... i'm stuck playing the waiting game for now...

[eco]

Sorry to hear that riceboy,that sucks,after all your great work,you are one of the last to receive(and maybe install) the header.But great job on the GB,thanks.

[riceboy]

no worries.. just glad that there's only two outstanding shipments....

[Black Yaris]

Anyone putting the Megan racing stickers on?

[eco]

Not me,Im thinking of doing a custom all black emblem of all the companys Ive used so far,I want it to be stealthy,sorta like you cant see it until your up close to it,or the light hits it right and your at a distance.I want it to be seen at a car show more then on the road.

[Black Yaris]

I was thinking of doing something similar just with a dark gun metal grey

[eco]

So is the heat sheild re-used,or do I just leave it out.

[Black Yaris]

heat shield...... gone

[eco]

Ok.

[riceboy]

PS: Just wanted to remind everybody to send out their warranty cards, it'll just make it easier in case anything comes up and you need to get in touch with MR customer service.

[eco]

So these down pipes ar a bigger diameter right,and the collector is bigger?

[ChinoCharles]

Yes and yes.

Anyone ever extrude hone a header? I'm thinking these would benefit greatly, but I don't have much experience in this department, and even the thought sounds extremely expensive. I just see a few rough edges in there...

[Chris07LB]

Yes and yes.

We used them a couple of times back in the day. Mostly used on cast parts to smooth out the flaws and such. Would not be worth the setup cost and materials to send the Megan header in.

[ChinoCharles]

I just called Don at RCF and he was out of the office, but I left a message so hopefully he will get back to me tomorrow and let me know when I can get her on the dyno. I'll update then.

[ProMotionTuning]

We have the header here ready for testing if anyone is in VA... I can get it installed today/tomorrow and dynoed... call us and let me know... WE ARE NOT SELLING ANY HEADERS... Just one for testing

[ChinoCharles]

I don't know what the hell is going on over at PMT, but Megan gave me a $65 discount on the header as an allotment to dyno the car since I live in northeast Ohio and there is a dyno for every McDonalds up here. If you're going to dyno the car then I'm not going to waste my time, but I need to know what the hell is going on. Riceboy?

For the time being, I am under the assumption that I am still to fulfill my responsibility to Megan Racing.

[ProMotionTuning]

Charles... Just dyno the car man... We may not have a test car for weeks by to looks of it? Why not dyno it?

[ChinoCharles]

You're only 6 hours from me... 5 the way I drive. And I've got a whole lot of time off work coming up. If RCF is swamped (they're all leaving for Flordia on Wednesday) I could take a trip down to PMT and check it out and we can get this R&D done. Then the 65 bucks would pay for some gas and food. :tongue:

Would you guys be down?

[Chris07LB]

Shoot, im not that far away, maybe Ill come hang with you Charles. :biggrin:

I disagree, i think we should have the 2 dyno runs, and compare them, as i feel we will get two different results, because the owner of the car (chino in this case )is going to brag a bit ( nobody wants to admit they got shit gains) , and add a few ponies, were the owner of the speedshop will tell it like it is...

my opinion only!

[punch]

Add me to the list, I got mine today, paid $24.00 brokerage fees to UPS, probably won't install till spring, no need for extra HP in the winter up here in Canada!!!

[ChinoCharles]

Haha! Trust me dude, I'm more committed to adding HONEST information to our knowledge base than I am to bragging about how "trick" my Yaris is. No matter where I do it, you guys are going to get the straight answer. The sheet doesn't lie!

To be quite honest, my expectations are SUPER conservative. I'm predicting 4 WHP, and I wouldn't be totally shocked to see no noticable gain at all with the header alone.

But God, I hope I'm way wrong. :thumbup:

Chris, sounds like fun! Lets see what RCF says first.

[eco]

Ha,me and you both.

[Chris07LB]

Dyno or no dyno results, im happy with my header performance.... the butt dyno dont lie! :laugh:

[Violin]

I say we have a Northeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic meet at ProMotionTuning's facilities. :wink:

It's official! The GB is done and completed, thanks to all the participants for making this a success!!

Chino - As far as I know Megan is still expecting results from your end as per the added discount they've provided you. They've done their own dyno testing but it's my guess that they're trying to get numbers from other sources with stock to modified cars. Please just take it in, honor your commitment and leave it at that.

The gains are going to be varied, but I think we can all agree that there'll be something. I'm not expecting too much even with my intake and exhaust, but if it opens up the car.. I'll be very happy!

In any case, hope everybody enjoys their headers!!! I've got the day off and will try to get them installed tomorrow.

Albert

[ChinoCharles]

Understood, thanks homie! Can't wait to try 'em on!

[riceboy]

Me 2!

My dyno day is this Monday, December 17th at 6 PM at Twisted Innovations in Ashtabula, Ohio. No more butt dynos... lets see what these babies are really made of! :headbang:

curous, are you going to do before and after runs?

[ChinoCharles]

Yes, we will have before and after results. I even get a window sticker! Haha...

Don't worry Chris, I won't put my window sticker in my signature... :rolleyes:

[Chris07LB]

Ill tell you were you can put that sticker.... :laugh:

ROFL

[riceboy]

Sounds good.. hopefully there are some nice gains...

[Black Yaris]

anyone run these uncapped yet? I was thinking of removing my muffler portion so 1. see how it sounds, and 2. see if there is actually any preformance gain/loss

[ChinoCharles]

Megan must be pimping the design out.

[Chris07LB]

You didnt think Megan was actually making them themselves do you?

[ChinoCharles]

No, but I would assume they have the rights to the design of the piece, no? A lot of times these companies design a piece like this and then they'll wholesale out a few hundred of them to companies like the one on Ebay. That is what I am assuming happened there, but I could be wrong.

[Chris07LB]

Either way, looks like we did ok on the price. :biggrin:

[Black Yaris]

Ok off of the header is 2 inch up to the resinator, so I am going off the resinator with 2 inch up to this muffler http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=300067071317
what do ya'll think?

[Chris07LB]

Besides it not going to fit under your car, its going to have to hang way down, id just spend the money on the TRD, Tanabe, Magnaflow, etc., thats actually made to just bolt in and go for our cars.

[Black Yaris]

I did some measurments, took them to the exaust shop, and it will fit fine

[nevermorez]

Did you buy it off the ebay, Black Yaris?

[Chris07LB]

I like when people can prove me wrong.. ill be happy to see that thing work out for you when complete.. just be sure to take some pics for everyone.
