Did you notice a smoother vtec transition and improved throttle response with the ebay header over stock headers? Did you notice a kind of valve ticking sound more prominent at low rpms over the stock headers?
I dont know who the Megan header is based off but they all look the same.
Yes smoother vtec transition and throttle response is much smoother. Yes, I hear ticking after install.

Well I did it... Welds are not the best but they look ok

I do feel some midrange pull after 4k
Hopefully the color lasts and I don't get much blue

No issues yet with the DPT motorsports header...

I used invisible glass on it before the first heat cycle it and it has a nice even gold tint.

well worth the $80 so far

I've been running the JVT header on my S2K for about 3 months, no problems.

My JVT has to have at least 20k miles on it now with no problems at all. Also I just got back from the dyno, I of course didn't do any before and afters with the header, but if people think it makes your S lose power it's not. I just have a PRM intake (which people say lose power which is BS) and the JVT header (which some people are skeptical of and don't think it does anything) and a berk 63mm TP. Everything including the catback exhaust is stock and I made right at 200whp which is great for a healthy ap1, and better than a lot of ap1's with a couple bolt ons.

Sheet of my 3 runs, the best one is 197whp and 134 ft torque
