Default TIG and MIG differences in Comptech header for GSR

like the topic says, i wanna know what makes the TIG so much more then the MIG, and yes i know that the welds are stronger, but does anyone have any information who owns them? i am looking to buy a set, but i wanted to know if there were any performance or reliability issues between the two.
thanks
Scary

the designs are the same, and so are the build materials themselves. the reason why tig welds are so much more is because they are higher quality welds, and take much more time to do than mig welds. if you're on a budget, get the mig welded headers. if you can afford it, get the tig welded ones. comptech makes good stuff anyways.
