Comptech Headers vs DC sport Headers?
#5
The cheapest price I found for comptech headers with j pipe is like $1,100 that's a lot for just headers. There axle back exhaust is also very expensive but I might go for it because I like the tone and looks.

If you are patient and search the Black Market or even EBAY, you are bound to see some Comptechs, Im glad I went with Comptech or CTE vs getting the DC which was my plan at first...CTE is worth the wait or the price...You can usually find some for $500-$700 used, If you email some companies you can bargain with them to get the price down on the high " New " price...I say get the CTE

Both are top quality as for DC im talking about the newer design... if you are auto and you are not from California go with DC cheaper and same thing practicly
Comptech looks better but its not worth paying over 2 times more...
i say find used Comptech or buy new DC

I just purchased used comptech headers and j pipe off ebay for $575 shipped. I'm very happy all they need is a nice polish!!

I looked on comptechs website any they only have one header listed. It says you can use it on the 6 speed also.

I just got off the phone with comptech you guys are right. If those are real comptech headers they are for a auto which is a older version before the 6 speed came out. I'm waiting on a answer from the seller to see if there even real. Comptech said if they are there will be a carb number and there brand on one of the primary tubes. I guess I'll need a refund.

People say the DC headers are garbage, but I haven't seen anyone say anything negative about the HHC5528 headers....yet.

The seller has bought and sold over 250 items on ebay with 100% positive feedback so I doubt he's trying to lie about anything. He actually never had in the description for a auto or 6 speed. I just received the refund so I'm back to square one now ha.

I appreciate it guys thank you. I wish they weren't so expensive because then I would just buy them brand new and the axle muffler kit they sell also. I just got off the phone with the driver that's delivering my 03 CLS6 is should be here around 10am tomorrow morning I can't wait!

The new 2nd generation DC headers are fine. I have them on my car from excelerate for a year now with no problems at all! The first generation ones sucked. BE sure to get the correct ones listed on the earlier post if you get the DC headers.

both headers will give u the same gain. its the same design, same size pipes. comptech and dc are well know companies and they have great products. xs is a copy of them and will produce the same gain but will crack around teh welds and discolor. the price difference is so big bc comptech paid and what not for their headers to be carb legal. so ppl what need carb legal products will pay more.
i dont know where Jacobpockros got the info that dc headers wont last nor where ParaSurfer1979 got his info on y theirs such a huge power difference.
id like to know where both of u get ur info from.

Is it my imagination, or was there someone else on this forum who said they were able to fit Megan headers on it as well? If it's legit, then there's another option.

Whats up with RDX owners?

And no, an OEM cast manifold will not bolt up an aftermarket j-pipe.

My experience with CT has been excellent... installed when new, so hard to gage the HP increase, but I do know I have surprised a few stock CLs, BMW 300s and Mustangs
CT customer support has been outstanding.
