Comptech Stainless Steel Header...pics inside!

Sexy6Speed · 12-02-2007, 03:16 PM

Hey all, i just picked up my Comptech Stainless Steel Header a few days ago and thought i'd show you guys what it looks like. i know Comptech products have been hard to come by lately with the new ownership and all. i wanted to post some pics of it so you can get the idea. first off, its not a race header, its a bolt on shorty header that doesn't delete the cat. my plans are to have this header, a some sort of high flow cat, and Comptech exhaust. i wont be installing it until spring though (since the si is in stored due to snow), so i dont have any dyno numbers up or anything. maybe someone else will when these come more readily available...so anyway on with the pics!

holy flash!!!!

very nice...so what down pipe you using that with? stock?

Sexy6Speed · 12-02-2007, 03:30 PM

ya i havent thought about all of that yet. like i said the car is currently stored so, im just picking up some parts as winter goes on and i will put them all together this spring. i still have some decisions to make.

I don't think Vibrant makes just a high flow cat. They make a race header with a HFC attached.

I think you'd be looking for the Random Technology high flow cat. That will bolt right up to the shorty.

Sexy6Speed · 12-02-2007, 03:45 PM

oh ok thanks, i havent really checked into that too much. i have just heard good things about them. any ideas on a downpipe like the above poster mentioned? im still throwing around what to do. any ideas would be great. thanks guys!

vibrant does make universal hfc [ http://vibrantperformance.com/catalo...fd32a9a00e7f42 ]... i would think the OP would custom making something just like NA06Si added a magnaflow hfc to his bc rh...

i do have to say though, i hate that u cannot see our header on our cars when the hood is popped. these companies make them look so nice and its all hidden. lol

i guess, its all about feeeling the power! lol

Tom · 12-02-2007, 05:17 PM

wonder what sort of gains are expected outta it, this is almost the way i'd rather go then a full race header, since i would like to keep the meow if possible.

Nice header, bad rug!!!

I have the same with the Random Tech higflow cat. Along with a Highflow cat you can expect slightly lower numbers thant a race header. There is a dyno sheet posted up in the excelerate group buy from Feb. I think with it was like 200hp(i think) with i/h/c/e/hondata.

lower gains, but my question then is what about CEL being or thrown, is it possible that a p1420 code will develop, or how do we get around that.

Sexy6Speed · 12-02-2007, 05:28 PM

hey i like my rug!!! go osu!

***WhiteSicivic06*** · 12-02-2007, 05:31 PM

My RT Cat never threw a code until about six months in. Had to finally use a defouler to stop the CEL. Still, With a shorty, RT, and Full exhaust, youd be legal and making good power. Not as much as a RH but,....are civics really drag cars anyways?

right, my thoughts exactly. this is my daily driver in the summer, and im just looking to make it a respectable honda that has some go. no hate to the RH guys, more power to ya. i love to see civics make as much power as possible, but i like to keep it clean and legal as well. i thought this would be a great alternative. like i said in the spring i will install it and have it dyno'd with my mods. i think as always....Comptech did it right!

yeah i know, that as pretty ****, lol.

Sexy6Speed · 12-02-2007, 10:47 PM

still waiting to hear about my Comptech exhaust........

06BlackSi · 12-02-2007, 10:54 PM

never had a CEL with my set up. I guess I was the guinea pig with the comptech/random tech cat. I haven't dyno'd the car since my reflash, but last i got it done, it made 197.5 hp and 138 tq.

Sexy6Speed · 12-02-2007, 10:58 PM

thats decent enough for me.. what are ur other mods?

Fg2ner · 12-03-2007, 12:37 AM

Looks real nice. Cant wait till Ohio has another good meet. I should ha ve a few goodies by then. I Decided to go with the vibrant exhaust and the BCRH.

dualdiagnosis · 12-03-2007, 02:43 AM

Not to criticize.....but IMHO you should have kept the stock header/manifold and just added a high-flow cat. How is there any benefit in going to the Comptech setup??
