looking for some insight on comptech headers, & the potential hp gains!

 

best quality headers made, perfect fitment, good design, quality material and welds. gains anywhere from 20-30 hp. but their expensive. contact our vendors over in the black market.

 

$1100 for headers..dang, but comptechs are good..too bad XS doesn't get their shiz together for our model

 

You can find them on the black market for around $600. They are worth every penny!

 

85k trouble free and running strong on my XS..

But yes Comptech makes by far the best header for our car

 

in how many years?

man thats a lot of miles.. haha

 

actually.. nvm... about 2 1/2 years since the 6spd swap + the XS...

wow...

 

i'll probably have mine for sale now too.
hit me up if interested

 

zing~!@

still sad to see her go.. even tho i haven't seen a pic of it..

 

Sell me that B-pipe!

 

2 bad XS is illegal in Cali no carb number o well gives me an excuse to get DC

 

had my xs for 2months and they cracked
felt no power gains at all with them on and they leaked bad

 

They shouldnt have leaked at all. Proper install and gasket would have made sure of that and probably eliminated the cracking. As for not feeling any gains, you should have. They are a exact copy of comptech (though not many people can tell a 15hp gain)

 

$600?!? Where can I find this blackmarket? I'll spend $750 tops on Comptech. Headers is the only mod left on my list.

 

^nah uh your new to the forum too haha I doubt it. You will be heavily modded LOL

 

I've got a CAI, Catback exhaust, 15% black tint, crossdrilled/slotted rotors, new Axxis pads, red caliper paint... all I need is headers, a debadge (only leaving A on back), and possibly painting stock rims black.. i'm not that new, just dont post a lot

 

O dang thats what I got. well besides the catback exhaust and 15% mine is going to be 5%. I have axxis pad at my shop but looking into EBC...How do you like the axxis?

 

you can buy all the performance mods you want but w/o proper suspension, it'll be practically useless.

 

You also still need spacers and pulleys to be fully bolted.

 

TegKid, im pretty sure the gains in hp and mpg i got from the CAI and Catback isn't that useless.. and im not trying to totally void my warranty by upgrading the suspension

 

my drop was my most recent mod.... when it defiantly should of been my first sway bars are next (hopefully) lol

 

how would upgrading suspension void warranty...

 

^lol yea i just re-read that like huh? never voided mine???? even with my pullies exhaust cai drop and all that acura said nothing

 

ye....

 

progress 3rd gen sway bar ftw. but i havent tested it yet since my car is still inoperable.

 

lol yea i heard thats the way to go i might just match it up with the shocks and grab the eibach anti roll kit, excelerate's price is right so why not, just gotta come up on some money lol i believe the 3gen progress is 28mm and the 2nd gen eibach is 27mm in the rear.

 

stock 2nd gen tl-s rear sway bar is 19, tl-p 17.
progress 3rd gen rear sway bar is 24mm and adjustable (soft, hard).
2nd gen eibach rear sway bar is 22mm i believe

 

just checked.... eibachs rear is 23mm, i guess i got 27 because the front it 27mm lol

 

my got my rear sway bar for $100 picked up. o ya

 

^ the progress bar for the 3rd gen fits our 2nd gen's tho?

 

^

 

ooooosnappp! definetly checkin that out now!

 

so how is it adjustable? heeltoes site doesn't really explain..

 

fits like a glove. and its adjustable. but i dont know what setting is where. gonna have to pm excelerate later on. and get some moog end links too.

 

its got two holes at the end of the bar. one hole is for soft cornering, and the other one is for more aggressive cornering. depends on how u drive. one has more under steer then then other

 

the hole towards the front of the car is the less aggressive one.

and x2 for the moog endlinks

 

sweet, thx

 

ahh gotcha. thanks!

 

this went from headers to sway bars. wow. so off topic.

 

yea i was about to say to the OP sorry for the thread jack
