Comptech is full stainless steel, and so far they have been reliable the only problem is when you install the header theres a problem with that rubber hanger that holds it, it said to be worn or torn during install of the header and causes that light rattle.

I'm replacing mine monday so ill tell you how it goes.
Dc headers are known for being poor quality and are ceramic coated, so i dont know if they fixed the issue in version two, but you pay for what you get.

There are some other headers like mugen and toda, but i'm not to sure about them.

If you want to save cash you can also try to find the Topspeed header (full SS two piece) for a lot less money. Might want to wait for more people (like me, once i finally get it installed ) to test it out before buying though.

The early version of the DC Sprts header had an issue with the flex pipe. They seem to have fixed that problem for almost a year now. The Comptech header makes the most hp so far and is full stainless steel. Let me know if you need either header b/c I have them both in stock.
