and got headers!!! they are stone headers for a 2003 CLS 6 speed


i just got them and decided to take a look


i put them together to see how they look


my car on the ramps


stock exhaust manifold


comparing the goods


stock manifold off

install was pretty easy, ive never done anything on a car and i tackled this. they went in like cake in a fat kids mouth. it took me about 2.5 hours

and....for the final pix...my camera battery died... i will take some tomorrow... overall i love the gains, its got a raspier exhaust tone, which is sweet. well worth the 207 shipped.

i was going to part out my car, and buy a muscle car so i took it all off, but now i wanna keep it so after winter in the spring it will be on again with a few more suprises

wakeboardfusion

agranado

ok i swear i posted a Q a few hrs ago but guess it didnt work.. anyways:

did these fit perfectly? did you need to loosen up the whole exhaust like wilp99 did? pics

wakeboardfusion

yes they fit perfectly, i had a one problem with the support, but i was just being stupid. yes i had to pull the exhaust up, you dont need to loosen anything you just need to pull a little bit or maybe have a friend push on your muffler, overall it was very easy, im also a noob in the whole motor stuff

ajtcl

2003 Type S 6speed fits perfect... this is good to know.

boriqua0240

thats sweet. i got the same exact headers you did except i paid 206 shipped. i hope it fits my 97 just like it fits your 99. im putting them in on saturday with some of my buddies. hope i get nice gains.

ajtcl

So this means that any header made for the 03 CL Type-s 6sp will fit. I might look into Comptech. Kinda pricey though.

wilp99

notice the difference between the megan and stone racing one for the 6 speed cl.


stones
the bend is already closer to begin with.

wilp99

aah crap the pic didnt come out look here at the megan.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...header+install

i think the difference is the 2003 cl type-s 6 speed.

EPS CL

So tell us, how's the ass dyno treating you? Is there really a BIG difference?

wakeboardfusion

i can tell that its faster, when im goin like 20 and floor it it almost breaks loose

burtonblue75

Damn you! ya so you got .8 liters on me and a 6 instead of a 4cylinder but we will race next spring! Anyways, fuck ya dude! Guess black rock is payin ya well eh? Oh ya i broke my tires loose some how today going around a corner. ( i felt kool)
Keep representing the North West CL's!!!

97RedCL

haha, read this acution:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...QQcmdZViewItem

It even tells you that they will fit a cl if you bend the pipe.

97RedCL

by the way...where did you pick those up at?

jz-97-c7

hmmm $207 shipped you say wake you gotta tell us where you picked those up...i may have to defy the boss and get a set

LOL tha's classic, i just installed the same stone headers onto my 3.0 today, well we finished the job today (baka-T and lnsyone helped), but in the process i kinda messed up my 02 sensor. fixed that but now my TP sensor is all messed.

but for the brief 2 minutes of fun i did have with the headers installed, it was good times :P

outta curiousity, does yours make a hissing sound when you step it hard, or do i have some sorta small leak somewhere??

wakeboardfusion

e bay from ssautochrome where other people from v6p.net have got them on a group buy

wakeboardfusion

yeah it hisses, willp has the same thing, i think its just a header sound

So it says that you need to bend the pipe, but you didn't have to?

DivineCL

Wakeboardfusion - How much of a difference have you felt? Do you also have I/E?

Nati_Bra

Did you bolt on to the stock Cat? No problems

h2o-pr00f

correct me here guys those arent STONE headers... the STONE headers you DONT have to bend..

Nati_Bra

That's right, Stone and the newer Megan you shouldn't have to bend..

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

That's what I thought, that's why I was confused.

Those CL type S ones that he said he got are definately stainless steel. The ss autochrome stone ones are different than those I thought

kensukikatayo

I have the same hiss but it's supposedly a leaking gasket?

wakeboardfusion

no the stones fit perfect, they say nowhere that u need to bend them

wakeboardfusion

i have I/E and its more then both of those combined

wakeboardfusion

ya stock cat, i kinda wanna get a high flow one now

wakeboardfusion

it might be, but i went under the hood and i dont hear anything, but who knows

kensukikatayo

I guess even if it was a leaking gasket, I'm too damn lazy to take off the headers just to fix the problem, the hissing doesn't sound so bad anyway, I'm used to it now, just roar it up in the parking garages. MUAHAHAHA!!!!
