purchased used comptech headers but...

It has a scraped and slightly crunched in downpipe. Think this will effect performance in anyway?

no...most likely you'd end up scraping it yourself anyways. don't worry over it. I bought mine used and it had a scrape like that....still performs fine.

does the ct downpipe go lower than oem? meaning... do you have more chances of scraping the comptech one than the oem one?

so the downpipe should be 1 inch lower approximately? or less?

I just wanna know since I'm getting my headers installed in next friday, so I wanna know if I should expect issues with my dropped car

Well I'd figure theoretically that if it was 1 inch thicker it would be half an inch lower and half an inch higher?

Installed the thermobloks and didn't notice any big gains, but I know for sure my intake manifold was much cooler. I guess therefore making some kind of gains.
