Default Question Concerning Comptech 4-2-1 TIG header

i have searched on the review for this header and have found pretty much no info on the header and how it performs. I was wondering if this is a good header for a daily driven car mildy moded. I have only Apex n1 catback and spoon filter on my car. i dont plan on doing any more mods to the car since it is a daily driven car. What your your suggestions? Get the header or not?

Edit: will do some auto-x in the future but dont plan on modding the engine anymore.

Comptech has two types of headers. One being the race which has a 2.5" collector or the one with the 2.25" collector. Which were you looking at?

There are better headers for a smaller price. Buy a used 2.5 inch header and you will be more happy.

if theres was one piece i would have kept on my car.. it would be honda jdm 4-1 header.. great performance with stock look and heatshields. at least compared to comptech header, its a better choice.

when i look at the great header test i see that the numbers are the lowest with the jdm 4-1. thats why im asking these questions and why people choose this over the comptech. remember my car is very lightly moded

Don't look at peak numbers but also look at the area under the curve.

The comptech has a 2" collector. It's meant to be a true bolt-on to the stock cat.
