I am telling you these headers are great.

I just see OBX on ebay, I found Alphawerks on Ebay in Canada, but they said Canada only.

Rich, this is Carlos.
I e-mail you telling you who had the headers instock with there phone number!

Wheels West & Accessories has them.

When I told you that I need it your credit card information was to order the headers, because you called me saying that you are from Honda Engineering North America Inc.
12500 Meranda Road
Anna, Ohio 45302

I thought you wanted to be set up as a distributor.
Also you wanted me to sponsor you car, but how would you want me to sponsor you, When you did get a warm fuzzy. All I was doing is trying to help you out, and I get this response.

Carlos,
Sorry about the confusion. Seems as if we got some phonecalls/emails crossed up. I guess I was not speciific enough on how I wanted to purchase them and it threw me for a loop when you asked me to email my credit card # to you. I did however get the email you sent stating that Wheels/Wheels had them in stock, thanks. Once again, sorry about the confusion.
If anyone is interested in dealing with Alpha Werks/Nexus Industries I would highly recommend it, Carlos took a situation that wasnt his fault and handled it in a very professional manor. There's not too many people that would have been as polite over the phone and and still be willing to help.

Thanks.

RaptorCLS

Thanks for the info Red...

Another quick question...I'm not too familiar with the CARB legal stuff and how it all goes down.....

If you have a a part, such as these headers that are not CARB legal, will you fail the smog for sure or just means that if a cop looks under your hood and doesnt see the CARB legal tag that you get a fix-it or something.
Cause I dont mind purchasing the headers if not CARB legal, but I would just hate to go thru the crap of removing them and putting back OEM to do the smog test.

I've spoken to Carlos at Nexus Industries and it seems the next shipment will be arriving late October, early November. It seems though that whatever price those early buyers got off of eBay will not be allowed. I have to verify what the price will be.

joseph_99tl

yea...those people that got their alphawerks off that ebay auction
got rewarded for deciding quickly.

for like 225.00 to 295.00.
thats a deal.

these are prolly going to be 500.00 headers, when they back around.

rezurex

had mine on for afew weeks and mine are already a bronze color. can you guys check yours?

Amoeba

is a bronze color bad, mine was like that as soon as I came home from the highway turned bronze, something wrong?

rezurex

its not bad the heat is doing that to the headers, i thought it would take alittle longer for it to bronze out

RaptorCLS

So its still cool? If so, these are going to be my next purchase.

furious

That happens to all the stainless steel headers.

Red-CL

Silver to Bronze to Blue.

The excessive heat causes this.

BC2G

yea mine bronzed after the first start up.... so far no problems

furious

Well the car is runing to hot.

Red-CL

It doesn't mean it's running too hot.

Just the normal heat from the engine is enought to change the color of the headers.

Amoeba

By the way I just now revved the car without headers and intake (intake was on before) and the rev is noticeably louder and the tone change makes it sound amazing...I really like it now as compared to before with the sound of the intake when revving.

Amoeba

The place that installed my AW headers said that leaking is possible since no matter how tight at the shop they tighten it, it can still get lose and leak. He said its probably would not happen at all and to not worry about, but I would like to know, if my headers were leaking how would I know this? Does it negatively effect gas mileage? Would I hear a really loud hissing sound (which is hard to identify because of my AEM intake)...I would just like to check on it once in a while to make sure everything is okay and no leaking is going on.

PDX3.2TL

prices!?! and where to buy for the states side??? i just "ordered" them from speedstash.com and they took my money but called me the next day and told me that the headers are on backorder for the next month! THis is rediculous! I paid $459- shipped. Can anyone help me out?

allmotor_2000

I just installed a set of AW Headers... fitment was just fine! I don't think the SS tubing is of the same quality as Comptech, but its a much better bang-for-the-buck. Funny thing... if you buy headers for $300 and you get 30hp... that's $10/hp

furious

Are you going to wait for the headers to come in?

BC2G

who did u install them for Ram, did the gaskets for the downpipe-cat connection fit? mine didnt i had to go buy different ones

BC2G

cancel your order, stop payment on the credit card

bigguyonbike

i just got my smog test done last week with AW headers and pass with flying colors. so you shouldn't have to take it off for the test.

BC2G

that is BEAUTIFUL... u have aem cai too right?! wow that is great news, less trouble

allmotor_2000

Oh yeah, that did not fit, but its minor... I made my own gasket for that - no leak!

RaptorCLS

but does OR have the same strict @$$ smog test as CA?

FunkeeTown

nobody has stricter laws than cali, man. i'm glad to hear you passed the test with the aw headers. where do i go to get some for me? i'm thinking of getting some soon. are they still on back order?

allmotor_2000

Headers shouldn't affect SMOG at all!!

Red-CL

Thanks.

I was curious about this too.

Red-CL

I'll have to ask about mine. My dad did mine at his job. He's a mechanic for Chrysler. Isure whatever didn't fit he just replaced.

This thread should be put as a sticky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I just got my A.W. headers installed this past Saturday by Allmotor_2000. Everything fitted perfectly (except for the small ring gasket that goes on the y pipe connecting to the rest of the exhaust system [was too small]). However, high temperature gasket sealer was used and all is fine.

At first the car idled rough, especially when the car was cold. But all seems to be going back to normal the more I drive it. I guess the computer is adjusting to the mod.

It seems as if though I have more of a longer and stronger pull in all gears, I guess because of the little extra ponies freed up.

The exhaust note is just a little raspier especially at WOT. Other that that, the exhaust sounds pretty much stock. I can also slightly hear the gases pass throught the exhaust system at WOT.

I have pictures, and will post later on tonigh, latest tomorrow possibly on cardomain.com.

Allmotor_2000's turbo setup is awsome. He said he can pull 550 H.P. with 100 octaine fuel.
