Who would be interested in custom headers?
I have a friend who does custom weldings and he's gonna look at my 2.5 if it's possible to make headers for it. He currently made headers for his IS and it added 35hp to the wheels. So we'll see what he can do for the TL.
Anyone interested?

Werd, tell your friend to fab some for the 3.2 - Under $500 and I'm probably in. Would be nice to see some gains throughout the rev range, with minimal or no sacrifice in low end torque.

I think he's talking about the horsepower advantage the 3.2 has over the 2.5.
but, in this case, it's more like 24 horsepower.
176 vs. 200.
but maybe he's talking about something else, like he's modded under the hood or something. who knows?

Sabers are at 210hps. Does that make mine 40 hps more!? (^I^)
I thought it was 176HP.Why is it 210?
Also theres rumors about the 2.5TL horse power being under rated. They say instead of it being 176HP, it is really 205HP. Could it be with premium gas or aftermarket intake? Does anyone know for a fact what it really is?
thanks.

And 35 wheel hp from headers seems like quite a bit of power, can you back it up?

After we make the 1st prototype I'm obviously going to dyno it. I'm gonna venture a guess and say it's gonna give me 15-20 hp atleast.

Oh, I know you meant on his IS, those just seem like impressive gains, and if I was going to ptu the money down for headers, I would like some proof like that (before and after dyno with his car, your car, and/or other cars he has done)
#19
Oh, and I was just talking about the advantage over the 2.5, which I will admit is not much... I saw a 2.5 on the highway and punched it... he stuck with me the whole way from like 50-90

3.2l Sabers are rated at 210hps in Japan
![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
I though the 3.2 was the Inspire.
And Saber=2.5TL.
How does the car achieve 210hps in Japan?
Could it be the computer?
Anyway,
does any one know where to buy acura TL 2.5 exhaust flanges?
And how should the tl 2.5 header look like?
Anyone with a sketch?

As for HP's, USDM have much lower power.Probably due to emmissions regulations.
Like a SOHC VTEC 1.5L Civic has 130hp stock. Newer Subaru Imprezza have 320+hp stock.
This year or next, the new Skylines are gonna have 400~500 Stock HP's.....meaning with mods, well over 1000hp! And Street Legal!

Oh, go select the model and everything. The flange is under "exaust manifold". You should be able to see it.

Dont want to be the party ruiner, but I just want to clarify so people wouldn't expect 35whp out of their cars too

No kidding. There is no way in hell anyone is getting 35 rwhp out of a header on an IS300 unless there he's got a supercharger we don't know about. I can't stand it when people prey on kids who don't know that much about cars by claiming outrageous figures. A header on an IS will net MAYBE 10 horsepower to the wheels.
