^^^^ boo that

form & function > functio & and shit

comptech FTW!

 

 

Reach, better get it done right than sorry. It'll save you time on taking it apart and installing should you have problems.

KC

 

You mean, sanding it down with a grind wheel, right? That's what I'm planning to do.

Again, I don't think I have any other issues with it, all the pipes line up well, and no flush / mount issues to be seen.

 

People with this header on please dyno it~ I would really like to see how does it compare with Comptech and DC.

P.S. I read the first page dyno from JDMxxx, but I want another consumer review~ THX

 

can someone post up cliffnotes? I dont want to go through 13 pages of stuff only to find out nothing was done yet!

fill us new comers in!

 

Yo SeCsTaC, your avatar is freaking me out man. I thought it was a real person with red all over their face!

 

haha. yea it freaked the hell out of me too, that's why i had to use it as my avatar =D

 

I am out of town for a few weeks and all of my plans are on hold, but the pictures by ComptechTSX are pretty much exactly what mine looks like. I still promise to dyno before and after to make up for the delay...but it will be October now.

 

Dyno or ban.

 

 

any updates anybody? trying to keep this thread alive

KC

 

I really am curious to see a dyno. I know I felt gains when I put mine on, but I would like to see how much the gains are.

 

that's what we're all waiting for... from you

KC

 

i thought u ordered one already?

 

come on guys.. alot of people ordered it and no ones going to the dyno

 

Youre not going to get overnight results here, people here are in for the long haul.

Preliminary evidence here and sales suggests the product works well. Actual dyno numbers may be hard to come by, especially from just stock to new header, since people who dyno tend to dyno groups of mods, not just 1 by 1 which doesnt make financial sense.

If you want something done, do it yourself! I dont mean to sound harsh, but its not like youre offering to pay for my dyno time.

 

dyno time isnt cheap.

 

dyno is like 50-70 bucks and it gives you nothing in return
paypal me 30 bucks i'll pay for the rest
then you'll see the dyno graph faster lol

 

Pssh, more than that where I am. My first one was $80, the new shop by me is going to be $90 per. And I accept donations as well .

Man I gotta install this damn header already.

 

wilil this cause any problem? or just ugly haha

 

i'll dyno when im done modding

 

same here... I got no money for the dyno now, so if you guys all chip in, I can do it. Just keep in mind, I have Injen CAI and Random Tech cat in addition to this header. I'm not sure what the dyno charge is, but there's Mother's Perf. shop few blocks away and I heard they charge about $60 or something. So if you are really serious and are willing to pay for it, I can find out exactly. But I just dont have money to spend for dyno right now. BTW, as far as credibility, I'm not very active here, but on the other forum I'm Peregrine. I'm sure most of you know me there.

 

How long have you had this header installed? What are your impressions of it, both in quality and performance?

 

had it for about a month. Installed it together with the Random Tech. cat. The quality is good, although I can see like a thin rusty discoloration on it, but that's probably the way stainless steel gets, cause I saw Comptech stainless steel and it looked similar. The fit is very good, although you have to be careful when mounting the sensor, beacuse it's very close to the frame, the way it's angled. So you have to install the sensor before tigtening the rest of the header. I can also sense more mid-range pick-up power now.

 

so far the butt dynos of the previous owners, the results sound pretty consistent. now for the long-term reliability, we'll just have to wait and see

KC

 

oh yah?
you can send me funding to do R&D on this dyno for you then
I only have Icebox on my car perfect

 

Any dyno result without a baseline is meaningless. Might as well save the money.

 

it can be the baseline for the next dyno

 

That's true.

 

if i dyno before (with icebox) after (icebox + header)
it should give the hp of header ......even though the # would be affect by the intake but shouldn't be too much

 

Your dyno with the icebox is the baseline for the header.

 

yah
well it might not be header's true gain......since 1+1 doesn't always = 2 rite...

 

How did we go from butt dyno to true gain? The result will tell you how a part performs with your particular setup. The same part may not even yield the same results on different cars.

 

So...I saw a "before" dyno back on like page 7 or something like that...still haven't seen an "after" dyno. I'm waiting to buy but would really like to see some results...good or bad.

 

paypal me the money for the dyno and I'll do it even tomorrow if you'd like

 

Nah, its cool...I appreciate the offer but uh...I'll just wait until someone else does it. I'm in no hurry.

 

ha, ha... yeah, ok

 

Any updates on these Topseed headers? just curious? how's it working for you guys these past few months? Any dynos?

 

OK, got my car ready and have some time when I am not traveling, so I am baselining stock on Wednesday this week, and should have the header installed and re-dyno'd by the second week of December.
