See the header section here:

I'm assuming you're looking for the XS Power/SSautochrome headers...

The ones Greenie is referring to can be purchased on ebay. I believe Excelerate sells Comptechs, try shotting him a PM for those.

both of my ss autochromes were a great value, but there not ceramic coated. Good choice not going comptech, for the money they suck. (not coated either)

DC's are the only ones like that and apparently there are fitment problems.

Yeah my 6+ year old Comptechs suck big time. I hated that it took me less than 2 hours to install them and that they fit perfectly

Dont be stupid. If you like wasting money thats kool its yours, but the off brand pipes are made of the same gauge metal, mandrel bent, equal length, have thick flanges, gaskets that seal, and I personnally didn't have any problems at all installing neither one (one auto/one standard). O and don't forget that my first pair are 3 years old. No problems, equal gains and don't forget mine were only 115$ shipped. Took me about an hour to install.......but then again this isn't my first car.

I'm with NSXNEXT... the CT headers are more money... but they fit perfectly, last longer, and also probably have the best performance. The design and specific length and shape of tubes is critical to optimizing airflow. Do you want headers for the performance or just to say that you have headers?

I have 2+ years on my CTs and they are great.

AWW man hands down im saving CT headers now and then jet hot coat them xsp and DC are good brands and are very inexpensive but like what NSXNEXT said they are well worth your money if you have it.
