Any difference between the Comptech 4-2-1 TIG and MIG version besides the welds?

Anyone have pictures of a MIG version?


Anyone dyno the J's intake yet??

 

TIG welds are stronger and more attractive.

 

I think they polish the TIG welded one too. I think TIG is done by hand by a person versus MIG is done by a machine.....Spill the beans Edwin...spill the beans.

Any information on a RACE version 4-2-1 header from Comptech?

According to Mike @ Comptech, no performance difference.

 

what is TIG, MIG?

 

what is GOOGLE?

 

This is a MIG


very low longevity, rust, cracking....etc.

Tig


Stronger, lost a great deal longer

 

Very few people run the J's but I would get that over my AEM in a flash if there were proven gains from it.

 

MIG welds are not weaker than TIG welds unless poorly done. It always bugs me to see people griping about MIG welds. Yes, they are uglier, and can't be used on really thin metal, but they aren't weaker.

Well put

 

MIG welds are not always weaker than TIG welds. Really depends on the guy doing the TIG welds skill level. It will NOT rust or crack any faster than the TIG header(don't know where that came from?). The MIG welded one is just a buget version of the header. They have the same specs and use the same material. One is basically hand made and polished(TIG) vs. Machine welded(I think)(MIG) and un finished...hence cheaper.

JohnnyBoy - Who used to be REALLY **** about the TIG welds on his mountain bike

 

didnt anyone read the first question?

there is not any difference in terms of performance between the two

im selling my comptech i/h/smsp high flow cat/exhaust pretty soon

where do you live? i can give you a great deal on it

 

you just want to add to your collection of things that looks like a ***** . haha

 

bob I would be interested in you I/h/cat....already have the exhaust. Send
me a IM maybe we could work something out!!

 

Err, oh yeah, the original poster wanted to know about the J's intake. I have one on my car. They only had the cf one in stock, so that's what I got. Err. It sucks air in, and it's made of cf.

The main reason I got it was to get an intake with a nice big filter on the end of it, and no more CAI, because I pick up all sorts of crap since I have no wheel well covers.

throttle response? power gain?

 

The car still moves when I hit the throttle. Other than that? I can't notice any difference.

Warren

 

definitely makes me want one.. lol

 

J's intake...



Christian has it on his car... IM him for his takes on it

 

from a fluid dynamics perspective the J's looks incredible.

but it's not a cai...so who knows

 

to me mig or tig it wouldn't matter about longevity because i will probably dent it before it will rust

 

Thanks for the input. Better sound at least??
