Which exhaust to choose...

I need a second opinion... DC Header or Comptech??

Someone told me not t get DC because it cracks? conform please
and Comptech is a little better?

Comptech is better. Research has shown me that it also yields slightly better results. I've also heard of the DC cracking. But the Comptech is also more expensive.

neither are very good though.
the Comptech is loud, it rattles.
it really pisses some people off that have it.

I personally say go Japan or don't go at all.

/\ Very true but even more expensive.

Not a great performance : price ratio, but no prob if you can afford it.

seriously, a header isn't going to give you tons of performance
improvement.
a slightly noticable amount.

is that worth the aggravation of having some cheap sounding,
rattling, vibrating header? or a cracked one or whatever?

I personally don't see the point in that.

it's not like our stock header is just a piece of crap, it's not.
if it's not a complete improvement, I won't mod it.

just my opinion of course.
I don't even know if the OP has an MT or an AT.
or even what year it is...

+2 for Comptech; I've had both the Topspeed(DC copy) and CT, CT is far better all around.

Honesty that rattler is bareable, and really only comes on when the ac is on and when your at a stop light.

Excelerate · 10-25-2008, 03:56 PM

Just a heads up. We are a distributor for CT Engineering and sell a lot of their product. Sof if anyone needs a header send us a PM or give us a call. You can also order it on the webstore:

So true. My rattle/vibration even went away when I added my exhaust

Bonus for me I guess. Anyway, I've owned both on different cars and will never buy another DC product again. The build quality on the Comptech piece is outstanding. I'd say it's your best bet unless your a baller and want to go JDM
