Headers: OBX or Comptech

Hello All!!

I wanted to get everyone's opinion on this subject.

I heard Comptech headers give you the most HP over OBX. I have not purchased a set of Comptech's b/c they are pricy as shi+. The OBX set is a lot more reasonable. i saw them on eBay for $325 less s+h.

What is the Hp gain for a set of Comptech's on a 99? OBX?

ANY feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank

I'm trying something new...

...by going with the Stone Racing headers. One of the members of the A-CL forum dynoed +4 hp/tq over his OBX headers. And supposedly, no resonance whatsoever. The welds look nice and neat(like quarters laying on its side) and the finish is polished SS. $385 shipped before Saturday(Pre-sale), $400 shipped afterwards. Best alternative to the Comptech "Platinum" Headers! My $.02...

DOLEFEE...

Thanx for the reply. What is their website (Stone Racing)?

I'd like to find out more about them...

I don't think Stone Racing has a website yet. You can get more info from these links:

http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...racing+headers

http://www.v6performance.net/forums/...664&forumid=81

You can order from either person. I went with the second link because he was running a pre-sale special for $385 shipped until today. Good luck...

All three companies should give the same amount of HP. They are the same design (comptech's design) so one should not be better than the other. Nashua's dyno was done at different times with the OBX and Stone headers I believe so the 4hp is negliable. I will admit that OBX do have a resonance but I heard that the Stone's had a slight one as well. I know OBX for fact because I have them. I also admit to having the original batch so maybe they fixed the fitment issues and resonance.
