Power wise isn't going to be much difference. However, the Mugen is more quiet and better built. I have Comptech for 4 years now and I love it. Can't go wrong with either but $600 more is alot though.

Will the Comptech inserts make their set-up as quiet as the mugen mufflers? Also from what I,ve seen on the forum do you need the comptech header and the mufflers to net 30 h.p. on a 3.2CLS 6-spd.

The headers add about 30 wheel horsepower (36 crank horsepower) and if you put an exhaust on with that, you will get about 10 additional wheel horsepower (12 crank horsepower) for a total of about 40 wheel horsepower over the standard CL Type-S, or 48 crank horsepower. So you can have a 308 horsepower CL Type-S with two simple modifications :thumbup:

On a TL, an intake adds about 10 hp to the wheels. I've seen several different dynos showing the gains.
