Question Comptech headers

Planning on getting a TL-S this summer, one of the first things I want to do with it is install the Comptech headers and downpipe; since many of you have had experience with this system on TLs and CLs (and maybe Tl-Ss by now), wanted to ask how your experience has been. Have you had any problems with fit, leaks, rattles, etc. with the Comptech headers? Any other problems at all? I'm asking because the last time I installed headers on one of my cars, I was less than pleased...exhaust system rattles, leaks, and noise...Comptech looks like an excellent product - your thoughts?

Question

I am interested too. Mostly because the dyno information provided is based off of a TL not a S-type. So, are the benefits equivalent??? I have talked with SYNCIVIC from Florida and he said the Comptech are the best for the car and are the cost due to the almost OEM tolerances. Personally, once I absorb the purchase price of the car I want to propose a group buy from Comptech and see if they would lower their price somewhat.

the performance increase is greater then in the TL, and is the same as in the CL-S, being a 32hp gain to the wheels... there is no noticable noise difference during normal driving conditions...

Tim already discounts like crazy for us... I doubt they would be any cheaper for 1 or 100... he has to pay for this site somehow!
