Both of these exhaust are excellent.. Bought my comptechs and then found the neuspeed were like half the cost for...

Most HP gain is 5, is better suited for folk who are FI

my vote goes to comptech. i have them and they sound so good. i heard a video of the neuspeed on a tl...sounds messy like a 4 cyl. IMO.....comptech sounds clean and matches the look of the car as well....go with comptech.....you wont be dissapointed.

If anyone needs any Comptech parts check out the link in my signature for the Off Topic section where you will find links to Comptech parts. I can get any Comptech or any other part besides those listed so shoot me a PM for prices.

love the greddy evos and all gains are the same give or take 1hp? but IMO you'd be better off spending a little bit more money and getting comptech headers or stone/obx if money is an issue. your looking at spending about 900 or so? for a exhaust that gives you about 5hp when you can get about 30 whp with headers

Neuspeeds are less than $600

Axle-back for more of sporty sound, while I would do catback if your FI (SC or Turbo)


Edit: Like I had mentioned above... HP gains are minimal... 2-3 for the axleback while 5 HP for a complete catback on NA

the other companies make replicas of the ct headers. they are all the same design and made from same material as ct headers but just a lot cheaper. you may have fitment problems with the replicas but the newer batch of the replicas dont seem to have any. i have stone headers on mine(6 speed) and the guy who installed them didn't say he had any problems.

With my CT headers, icebox, and axlebacks, the car sounds pretty nice!! Just got my axlebacks put on yesterday, removed the quiet tip inserts, and they sound pretty good-

So far, I give my CT axlebacks good marks-
