do these look like it to you?



and where is the logo stamped at?

 

^ yours has no logo's? I think mines on the middle pipe of each header... comptech USA.

 

oh noo.. idk some guy wants to sell me his for like 100 but i havent seen it yet.. he say its comtech.. but does it look like it?

 

ask him for pics of the comptech stamps. There are 2 on mine.

 

i will.. and he said he will sell for 80-100 im pretty damn sure thats a god dam deal but just making sure :P

 

it "looks" like mine were when I bought them (for 450cad cash).

I have logos on the front header and the downpipe pointing towards the passenger side. I do not have one on the rear.

Do the flanges use 2.5" O-ring gaskets?

mine do.

that's a good way to tell also if they are legit.

I don't think comptech ever made them for the flat gaskets.

 

you can see the 2 stamps in these pics of mine.




one on the big end section, other is on the middle piece of only one of the 3 pipe sections.

 

They don't look like Comptech to me.

 

Xs

 

If I'm not mistaken, Comptech only made headers for the 6sp (which also happens to fit the autos). One of the primaries has a bend in it to clear the rear motor mount on the 6sp, like this.


Those are auto headers, won't fit a 6sp. That isn't a XS header either. XS were a copy of Comptech and has the bend.

 

comptech started with auto only headers.... then made a 2nd version to fit 6spd

 

the headers in the pic above ARE Comptech's for a standard trans, as you can see the bend in the rear header.

 

Those are def not Comptech. I dont know who they are from but not comptech. I would say XS but they do not have the bend in the rear header to clear the 6speed engine mount.

 

like someone else said comptech used to make them for auto only and those didnt have the bend. They later changed it and started making them with the bend that fit both auto and manual. I wouldn't say they are not comptech just solely by the bend.

 

Id say theyre not CT because Im not seeing the badge plate on the rear of the J pipe.

EDIT - I just noticed theres also 3 welds on the rear bank downpipe, which the CTs do not have.

 

They are XS Power/SSAutochrome headers. They cost less then $99 brand new and some people have had weld issues with them although at that price, who cares.

 

My CT Headers don't have the bend in the rear header.

 

Forget about the bend. Some of the Comptechs did not have it and those produced after the 6MT CLS came out have it.

What gives them away is the weld at 90degrees where the pipe on the Y-pipe from the rear header makes the 180 degree turn. No compech header ever produced had this weld. the comptechs make the 180 degree turn with no additional welds.

 

 

For 100 bucks I'd get it whatever it is..

 

looks right

 

Called it!

 

its not a steal but people would still love to get their hands on a set of XS. but they were a tad over 100 brand new shipped so definately dont pay him that much.

 

xs 130 brand new shipping included... if it was comptech i dont think its that cheap uness hes REALLY REALLY in need of money

 

True they were less then $100 shipped but they haven't been available for months now and may never be again. I sold a new pair for $200.

 

screw stocks. I shoulda invested in XS headers lol 200% return rate lol
