Alpha Works vs Comptechs
so i really only have the money for the AW headers because they are 400 buks. i was wondering,besides the price, what is the differecne in gains between the 2 headers? Is there a good batch and a bad batch? if i buy them new online, will i get the good batch? do they bolt right up without any problems? is there any interior droning or like resonance? id like a pretty much stock sound unless i floor it a little extra rumble or deepness is ok i just dont want any annoying sounds that will take away from the luxury chillness of cruisn in the CL

Long term durability is a toss up. Most will last just fine with Comptech's probably being more likely to last.

i am having this dilema right now because I want the comptechs but, by the time you get them installed it will cost like $1200. I could get the AW for 385 and get them installed for under $500 total
The only thing that worries me is the resonance and shotty weld work. Also, I live in Minnesota and dont want them to rust to shit

The Alpha Werks headers I installed on my CL-S had no fitment issues nor any resonance. This has been the review of most ppl. A few ppl did have issues with the 02 sensor bung but the batch I have here has had their 02 sensor bungs located farther back to avoid this problem. I have been contemplating putting headers back on my car and I may just do so to show you the quality and fitment of the Alpha Werks headers.
BTW check this link for a good price on AW Headers GB
