i always believe you get what you pay for, thats why a good header will run you more around 300, for me not worth the little gains, if i want to go fast i will save for a turbo kit, or supercharger, even if it takes me two years to save. i only say this because ive been down that road before on a couple of cars, header, intake, exhaust, over 1000 dollars for very little gains, i still like exhaust purley for looks and sound now, but the other stuff is not worth my time or money. just my 2cents.

im glad my parts from megan were the prototype. Mine are perfect and great quality. I made them redo the exhaust a twice cause it wasnt perfect the first time. Anywhoo i have had the parts on my car for over a year and a half and everything is perfect

i never used the extra bolts..but it came with it. I just used the factory bolts and it was fine, but took the whole thing off a day later because I didn't like the raspy honda fart can sound

All 4 of my headers fit just fine, they all just leaked like a senior citizen in diapers. Hahaha!

Smile Bolts

As far as the welds, they looked O.K to me but then again I know nothing about good welds. The bolts, like stated prior, I used the stock bolts that held the stock header to the block.
I beat on my car pretty hard plus it is an everday sales car! So far I have found no leakage and just an all around great upgrade. I purchased mine through IPtuned, in which is located in So Cal. Sorry you are having issues...thought they fixed all (MEGAN).

Hmm, I have their axle-back and it's been trouble free for over 6 months now. I was thinking about going with the Megan headers but I went with Weapon*R for the exact fears that the OP is now experiencing.
