Smile COMPTECH Headers: Target Release Date

Hey every body, I just got off the phone with comptech and they told me their short headers are about six weeks away from release. I know what my next mod will be!

Most short headers will give you about 8 hp, they made the headers shorty headers because they wanted them to be smog legal, as for the race exhaust I did not inquire on.

...actually the stock si header is a shorty with equal length tubes. the only restriction being the flange connection.

The COMPTECH shorty header will complement the sc perfectly.

Question- What do you all think the si would make with i/h/e/sc/ and reflash?

I would think 300 hp to the wheels ATLEAST

comptech = higher quality, pass smog, less gain

dcrh = low quality (in comparison), race header, so no cat = fail smog, but better sound / gains

Yeah stay away from AEM and DC sports both make shitty products, then rush them out without testing anything first. DC headers crack easy.
