Whats the deal...Stone headers on a 6spd?

Alright before I get slammed, I did search and couldn't find a definite answer. So I'm asking anyone with stone headers on their 6 spd, how are they? Any fitment issues, bad resonating etc? Thinking about going this route but want to make sure before I do. Thanks guys.

I am under the impression that the only headers available for the 6 speed are comptech's.

Yeah thats what I thought until I searched alittle and found out about these Stone headers. I've read a couple of posts that people were trying them out on their 6 speeds but they never followed up on the results.

I think that was only a smal test batch. Don't think they ever went into production.

There were some stone headers for sale on EBAY awhile back that were listed for auto or 6pd. This would be good to know, because I was thinking of going that route too, because I don't really want to shell out 1K+ for comptech junk

If you consider comptech junk, then i dont know what you are doing looking to buy stone headers. Those are probably one of the worst quality headers out there. The price of those headers says all you need to know, $199 = crap.

Well lets just say that the long term results of their springs and sway bars has put a bad taste in my mouth. From what I have heard stone racing headers have almost zero problems and if there is a problem I can buy 8 set for the same price as comptech. I do have comptech's icebox and feel its a good product but if it had cost 8 times as much as another intake I wouldn't have purchased it.

Well, I'm not sure if Comptech stuff is crap but I'm just looking for an alternative to spending $1k. I mean if the fitment is right, power gains similar and there aren't major problems in the product its a steal for about $250!!

I would definitely go all Comptech if I had the money. Some people just don't have $1000 to spend just on headers. I myself love Comptech and have a couple Comptech stuff (supercharger kit and sway bar kit). When it came to me buying headers, I couldn't justify spending $1000 just for headers. A bit overpriced when all I'm looking for is gains where others will do just as good for a fraction of the price. Don't get me wrong though, quality wise.....Comptech all the way, especially for headers.

If I lived in Cali, I would get CT headers though just b/c they are carb-legal.

Yeah thats what I thought. When you say you have it right now, do you mean you are a supplier and are selling them? Yeah, I've read that they are made to fit the 6 speed but haven't had any luck talking to someone who actually has them installed on the car. I'm looking to make sure that there is no leakage/fitment is right and just to see if there were any problems with them. Thanks for the info.
