Question Comptech vs. HKS Exhaust

Hey Guys,

Is there any HP difference in these two exhausts? My understanding is that both are just goin to have a relatively small gain anyways, but if I was to get Comptech Headers, would it be advisable to get one over another?

Thanks Guys,

Burt

Ultimately, which one would you guys choose? I don't have much money for mods, but I want to make my car stand out a little. Thanks!

Hey man I'll be getting my Comptechs in a few days, and having them installed next week. If you want to see/hear/ride in the car with them with me...then by all means let me know. Best of all...if they're too d@mn loud for me I can sell them to you cheap and get tips for me. Let me know bud...

Austin519
p.s. - from what I have heard the HKS is a lot louder...and if that's your thing ok but I'd hate that. Not just that but the HKS are SOOOO much bigger, I mean dear lord....just put coffee cans on the ends of your exhaust.

mah bayad austin. It's just what i reelee think. I think the comptechs look conservative, but the HKS look 10X better (jus a matter of personal taste). It depends on wat u like dow.

Longhorn TL:
Personally I'd look at Oakview, Seton, and Orangetree. Oakview is where a friend of mine lives...he dealt directly with the owner instead of through a realty agency and gets it for $500/mo. It's about 1/2 the size of my place, at Seton Condos. Mine has a full size kitchen, full den, full study room, and a bedroom big enough to fit a king size bed. Three closets, washer/dryer in its own room...full bathroom with a room for the shower and toilet. Pretty nice actually. Jyang411 lives in OrangeTree...which is a pretty cool place...LOT of parties...you'll have to ask him about it. Any place over here on 26th West is good...my place runs $875...most of them do around here. I'd start looking NOW because they go so fast you won't believe.
