Looking for headers for my 02 TL-S

I am looking to buy performance parts, finally for my car.. I need some more power..so I am in the market for headers...It's been awhile since I visited the forums and I have been searching to see what's out there..

I remember when OBX, Alphawerks, Megan headers were in the market but now Im looking over whats out..I only see this header called DC sports 3-2-1 or 4-2-1 Im like what the hell??? I didn't really see any great feedbacks on these headers but at the same time not too many bad reviews...

Comptech are going out of business and I can't find anybody selling them right now. Plus Im not sure if I should get them if they are going out of business.. what you think? OBX I remember sucked with so many problems members on this forum had with them...

So now I am not sure what headers to look into.

Basically I am looking for a great set of headers that will last me for a good 3+years, less noise and have the least problems in installation...

Im not selling my car anytime soon...I still want comptech but a new one is still too expensive..I would like a used one..

What other good headers are out there?

I am willing to spend at least $600 for headers..

I checked ebay and here are some of what came up

I can't really decide right now..DC sports or these XS headers. I've been reading alot about the XS headers and they seemed to be good so far..

Meaning that Comptech headers are the best on the market. Granted they are pricey but well worth the money. I am not sure you can get new ones these days due to the recent changes in ComptechUSA management but look around and you can find a good deal in the Buy/sell forum.

XS seem to be the other name that i am hearing a lot.
