OK so someone give me the lowdown on comparison of the following headers:

Toda

Comptech

Looking forward to reading your discussions

Why no Amuse on the list?

If you are planning on going forced induction with the car - I recommend the J's Racing - the larger diameter primaries will work together with the supercharger nicely, and should be the best match for the increased air through the head.,

Staying N/A? then its a toss up

Mugen and Toda are both great pieces. 4-2-1 design for more midrange, Both high quality. 8-10 HP increase through the midrange. Both use 42.7mm primaries I believe

Comptech is a 4-1 Header , designed for more top end power. As such it may result in a slight loss the lower RPM's

All of the headers fit well, and are excellent pieces. (even ones not mentioned) - Feel's, Fujitsubo, ASM, and Amuse all make applications for the S2k

The decision comes to what you are using the car for, what your end goals are for the vehicle, and your budget..

Thanks Rich

Currently staying NA.

Looking for low/midrange.

How would the J's compare to Mugen/Toda?

Hadn't considered Amuse - what's the score?

perosnally, I'd choose toda if staying NA. Amuse is nice, and I'd buy it to collect it, but as far as more power NA, I wouldn't think it would be much... if you had a SC, I'd say comptech, since Duc did back to back comparisons with the blower and the 4-1 design proved to be more efficient with it... It all comes down to how much of a label whore you are and how much you have to spend really...

i say for the price you can pickup used toda's for, it's the best value out there. it outperforms fujitsubo, mugen hands down. only amuse and j's is marginally better.

If anyone could add how much HP for each one, that would help in the comparison.
