i havent heard a megan that i know of(dont normally ask people what they have for exhaust). I will say tho that Megan's quality isnt that of Skunk2. The Megan header I have wasnt designed all that well(didnt line up all too well, and they way it was designed made some of the bolts near impossible to get to).

To go back in time i would have dropped the money to get a GReddy header.

No its not that hard, if you dont have a lift its going to be a pain in the ass. The only "hard" part is that the bolts are usually in rough shape and sometimes break off.

a exhaust shop could put it on you quickly and cheaply

Nope I had Midas put mine on and they charged around $100. It didnt take long at all though.
Then when my gaskets leaked my dad and I just drove it on ramps and fixed the gaskets...and we were able to take it off and on. The hardest part is the vertical piece on the collectors before the cat b/c it wedged against the block.
