The Comptech dyno is for a 99 TL, the TL-S may show a different curve and gain. Either way though it is to be expected that mostl of the HP gain will be in the upper RPM range

so OBX then??
Alright, well, I don't really feel like spending a grand on Comptech's right now since i'm trying to get an Intake, Springs and Sways. And plus new tires which will cost me like $500. So i'll probably get the OBX to save some cash.
Even if they don't hold up that great because of the low quality or something, whats the worst that could happen to my car aside from me just having to replace the header with my old factory stuff??

Someone please help if you know where to go.

Update
Just to followup - I ordered OBX headers from SSAutochrome on Oct. 2 2002, and rec'd them Oct. 9. They were well packaged, which is fortunate, because Fed-Ex (standard ground) beat up the box pretty good - this is despite a large red FRAGILE label pasted on all sides.
The headers have nice welds all around which are ground down smooth internally. They came with the hardware needed for bolting the headers to the A-pipe, but you'll need to re-use the locking nuts for the engine studs, and the bolts going to the cat. Surprisingly, new exhaust gaskets were supplied. From what I understand, you had to get those separately when purchasing headers from Comptech (at 3x the cost - :wow: )
I'm waiting for the Helm manual to see if I want to do this job myself. You can get a set of instructions from Comptech: http://www.comptechusa.com/install.html
Otherwise, I'll have to endure some more wife nagging
in order to pay my local dealer.

Right after that happened, SSautochrome (retail shop for OBX) dropped the price to $340 shipped. It was supposed to expire Oct. 1, but they carried it on an extra week or so b/c they ran out.
