a serious and important header question
does anyone know for sure if the 98-02 accord v6 headers will fit the 3.0 cl's? one of my dealers carries the accord headers and arent priced too bad.

Hey Ross, PM dustbuster. He did some minor modifications to make the OBX headers fit.
I believe the ones comptech sells made for the 3.0 CL and the 98-02 Accord are two different part #'s/

blah blah blah
From what I heard the Accord 98+ V6 headers won't fit without bending the pipe. At least that's what our members told me 
Hopefully they're right or else i missed some great deals on COmptech headers for an Accord...

Ross.. the hvae to be modified to fit... you might be able to do it but i cant see how banging the pipe doesnt cause resistance in air flow.. it may not be worth it.. DUST has done it so he can tell you!

yeah, but he says that it was definitely worth it. But the comptec headers do give a lot of hp and torque, there is special pricing right now over in the black market forum

A-CL Post Whore w/N2O
Both Comptech and OBX headers made for the Accord need modification to fit the CL.
I had my OBX downpipe bent slightly with no difficulty (and for free), and you can't tell it was done.
After the bend, it fit perfectly.
I helping dajuice27 put his OBX headers on this Sunday.
I'll take better pictures than on my install.
I'm at work, and when I get home, I'll post my thread (the "search" isn't locating it).
