ya i was kinda hesitant bout the whole crossmember talk...yes i am planning on gettin an exhaust and vafc in the future...im prolly gonna get the megan header since it has the same design as the dc header and it has welds of the same quality of dc if not better(plus megan is less than half the price)....the megan header package im planning on gettin from ebay comes with a straight pipe...i have a v2 intake already....will the straight pipe/megan header give me trouble with inspection/emissions??? thanks for all the advice ludeboom
