Any shops near Orange County to buy / install Comptech header?
I'm looking for a "One-stop shop" who I can buy the header from AND will do the installation work. Usually, I buy the stuff from either my friend at Island Motor Sports in Buena Park and have Team Honda do the install work. However, my schedule doesn't permit me to do these mods in two trips.

Although the Hytech header will surely put out more power, I just have a hard time justifying $1000 for probaly 2-8 HP over the Comptech system.
Who knows -- anything could change. Your review when you get it in May / June might change my mind. I could always sell my header and get another one.

We can do a comparison. You get the full Comptech exhaust and I am getting the full HyTech. When I get mine in a few months hopefully you will have yours around the same time. We can meet up and do butt dyno's or even real dyno's.

Unless you know something I do not

One advantage with the Hytech will not only be the added HP (I estimate 2-5 HP over Comptech) -- but the unlocked potential of internal mods. If I remember correctly, TOV's article on "Tuning the TSX" stated that a good race header (like Toda) was holding back any possibility of a cam swap.
However, due to the R/S ratio of the TSX, I have my doubts on how much internal/all-motor gains are to be made without going FI or more displacement. Additionally, all of it would depend on a K-pro to be developed.
I should have my header by the time you get your Hytech. By then, we'll probaly have identical setups: Intake + Header + Hondata. Going from a roll will take out some of the driver skill from the comparison.

I might have 1 up on you on the mods list. I should hopefulluy get around to getting my Hondata heatshield gasket in by then too. Unless I should hold off?

In fact a high flow cat is an important piece of a better flowing exhaust set-up. So if one doesn't upgrade to a better flowing cat, you are robbing yourself of power. Chocking off the flow, bottleneck effect.
