What brand headers fit 97-99 CL?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to help a fellow new cl member cleanly fix up his car. A member is selling OBX headers for 98-02 accord/99-03 CL so the website states. My question is that member stated the would not fit. Is that true and if so which headers will work. Megan racing offers a similar header for 98-02 Accord v6. Aren't the J30's the same in these cars so I'm stumped as to why they would not.

Thanks Acurazine family,

if the headers are for a 90-02 Accord V6, it should def fit if the CL is a 3.0, idk why they would tell you otherwise

Are the headers for 1st gen gain power like j32? Prob more like 15-20 instead of 30 whp id assume because of lower compression ratio and size of exhaust ports?

I would think your estimates are probably realistic about the gains it should give. Of course that is as long as they change the cat and cat back also along with the headers so its not bottlenecking the exhaust
