I just looked at the dyno sheet from the Comptech site and there is no real gain until 6500 rpms. Under normal driving, you'll see a 3-8 hp increase, for $1200. It doesn't seem like it woth it.

Do ya like to go fast??? Add headers and hit Vtec

Tip of the day.... Don't use Sport Shifter mode the first time ya do it, you'll just bounce off the rev-limiter

Oh my looky here, and I just procured (sp?) a nice set of used headers, and axleback for a song! I cannot wait. This is going to get real interesting. I guess I'll baseline dyno in the meantime. Merry Xmas to me.

Nicky - The headers are truely meant for fairly hardcore enthusiests. I'm sure in the back of your mind you fit this catagory. Wait for the RES. Looks like it'll be $$ well spent. After some time (and a real street review when I get aound to installing these,) you might think different.

They're worth every penny to me. My car only feels slow between 110 and 120. Damn it, 4th gear is too tall!
