Megan Racing M2 Header install on a V6
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 10:19 am
I notice that as of lately there's been alot of issues with getting headers for the 1mz V6. JPP will only make the headers in runs, so you have to wait until they have enough people commited to buy their $1300-$1400 set. OBX's version have been on back order since early spring and they still haven't been able to get them made. Which leaves the only version anyone can get a hold of is the Megan Racing M2 version (the Ebay version), these haven't been without fitment issues from what I understand. Well, unfortunetly for me my front pipe decided it was done and the flex portion had broke/rotted through. Which kind of left me with no choice, Toyota OEM front pipe is @ $1200, can't wait for the JPP headers or the OBX any longer, so I diecide to get the Megan Racing M2 kit and give it a shot. I'm going to document the install from start to finish so all can see what they are getting themselves into !! I will be updating as the project goes so you get an Ideal of what is involved in doing this install. To start, I am doing this in my home garage, but I do have a nice set of tools, air compressor & a welder if needed. No lift though, this will be a flatback and jack stand job. The kit took about 4-5 days to get to me from Megan Racing. I'll be starting the install today and I'll update as much as possible. Here is the kit I'm using....
