Is it worth the $1200.....

is it worth paying the 1200 dollars for the Comptech headers or will I get the same gains and performance from the other types of headers made for the 3.2CL-S. I don't even really know of any other companies that make headers for my car. Also I know that leaks are very common with headers on V-8s is it a problem on the 3.2 V-6 also?

i got alphawerks and have been told they are very similar. Comptech has been around for longer, but I trust them both equally...

I paid my a/w headers including installation $450

Can't beat that price

Comptechs are less prone to leaking. There are some fitment problems with all the other headers except the CT's. But it's not with all. Some may fit fine.

IMO, I would look for a used set of CT's and go with those. They will cost a bit more, but you will have no problems with them.
