Comptech Headers

Has anyone had any problems with their headers. I am going to replace them for the 2nd time. First noticed a ticking sound at very low rmps with all the windows up.

It seems the weld going into the heads keeps breaking. Not sure what the problem is or if it is my driving. But make sure you check out the weld if your warrantee is coming up.

So much for Comptech honesty. I asked them to tell me how many of the 3rd generation headers had ANY returns (meaning any). They said they only had a single return.

makes me wonder...

It is perfectly safe. The only thing wrong that you will notice is more engine noise and the weld looks like it melted or something.
