yeah, but ive also heard a story about the Mugen breaking/cracking also. so i guess you can't win either way.

 

Ok....

So Comptech Is the way to Go.....

 

Compatriota, consider the Spoon. I've had it for 12K miles w/out a problem. Spoon offers substantial peak and mid-range power gains.

 

The T1R testpipe is not resonated. It doesn't look like the one in the picture. It is just a straight pipe with a bung for the 02 sensor.

 

Yes but you got to wait like 3 Weeks or So for the Spoon header to Arrive i think its a Special Order to Japan.

I'll go with Comptech......

What about the Comptech Header? is good?

 

The titanium is a very thin gauge. The welded bracket area is extremely small for the load placed on it (the whole exhaust and engine direction). A pretty possible easy way to avoid cracks on the toda header would be to have a straight pipe that has a flex section in it.

Either that or just weld another bead on the backside of the mating part for the bracket. That should help...probably not resolve. You can always remove the old bracket, get a thicker gauge bracket made and weld that on. Problem is that it's impossible to find someone with a sealed from tank to do Ti welds

 

i saw the write up when the one guy on here placed a rubber spacer between the frame and toda bracket that breaks. hes had no trouble with it breaking that in aware of.

 

and dont they use a spoon header on the amuse touge monster? im going with a spoon, i like the gains and quality.

im not flaming or bashing toda, they make amazing cam set ups, which ill probably buy in the long run, but the header just isnt their strength.

 

What About Comptech?

Is Good?
