Guys you waited for long... First, here are ths photos:











Nashua

 

The internal finishing doesn’t look too pretty, but otherwise it looks like a great Comptech design rip-off.
2-Years late, but finally an alternative for the “real” CL-S.

 

the internal finishing doesn't look so great, but then again i guess they are a little rough since they're prototypes. hope the welds are solid unlike the obx's... lets see how they perform

 

Those are definateley 6-speed!

 

yes those are the 6 speed ones, u can tell by the curve in the rear header

so when do i get mine to try out?

 

i am testing them on the 5AT's, right?

 

They look the same as my CT's

 

I need to select a tester 6-speed ASAP.
Here is what I am looking for:

1) A local (Greater Boston)03 CLS 6-speed.
2) He will do the baseline dyno, installation and another 3 dyno runs on the same day AND this weekend.
3) The headers came with no bolts or gaskets. So, the owner will have to procure those at his own cost. The headers to block gaskets can be resued if they are in good condition.
4) I will be at the installation to do document the isntallation and dyno.
5) The owner will pay me only $400 in Cash.
6) The owner will agree to do his own online review.

I will select the best candidate ASAP.

Testing Candidate selection is posted here: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2003232

 

i would do the testing, but i'm in NY


if you have a place for me to do the installation i will drive up to you

 

 

Oh one more thing.. the installation cost and dyno fees are the owner responsibility.

Nashua.

 

Im always up for a road trip

 

Come on people, jump on this. Get this thing tested and all the kinks worked out. I want to buy this asap.

 

You have an idea on total cost? Excluding the headers themselves of course.

 

install i can do myself

i've done it before with hand tools and a jack

 

last time the installation was $150 and $100 for the dyno runs. Total was $250.

 

let me know where i gotta drive to and what time and i'll be there to do this

 

Threads merged and subject updated.

 

Thanks juniorbean...

 

go rbf351!!!! I'm so excited that there's finally headers for the 6MT.

 

Just curious here...

The "tester" pays $400, plus about $150 for the install, plus $100 for baseline and post-header install dyno.

What happens if they don't fit? Is the "tester" still out his money?

Seems more like a "test-dummy" than a "prototype tester."

Too me it sounds odd that a company is making the consumer pay for R&D.

 

just waiting for Nashua to say yes or no

 

Where I did the 3 last installations, the installer was able to successfully install the headers, any correction if any was done with help with air-powered drill bit.

Nashua.

 

rbf351,

You are candidate #1. Here were we did the headers installations and dynos: http://www.connectmotorsports.com/wa...ports/home.asp

 

it's about a 250 mile drive

so i need to know exact date and time if i am doing this

 

I will start contact the local shop to try to schedule installation.

Nahsua.

 

Nash,, please bolt headers to down pipe and measure distance (offset) between both flanges at both sides of bolt holes,, ie, hole 1 to 5 and hole 4 to 8,, this distance variance will give you a idea how close to "true" with the head. Also how they compare with your standard from COMPTECH. I'm sure you remember how I measured the auto units.

 

Sounds like an excellent idea!

 

will do that tomorrow.

 

Any MA/NH 6-speed owner is interested in being a pround owner of the new headers?
I want to have more candidates...

 

looks like i'm the only person

when am i driving up to you to get this done?

 

All the preliminary talk about everyone being excited about an alternative 6 speed header, and only ONE volunteer so far, Come on people.

 

You are still candidate number 1. Monday morning I will call the installation shop and get you exacat estimate for the installation and dynos (optional).

As for scheduling, are you available any days next week?

Note: installation time is around 2 hrs.

Nashua

 

i'm only available next week on Sunday, i have an eye doctor appointment at 11:30am on saturday which can always be changed

 

we need to do the installation in the week days, most probably tuesday or wednesday at the latest.

Nashua.

 

sorry but weekdays are out for me, it either has to be a Saturday or Sunday

 

ohhhhh

We need some NE 6MT.... come on!!!!

 

FYI: Nashua, get in touch with me so we can set you up as a Vendor on the sites so you can sell these headers... if your not selling them then, whomever your in contact with can reach me and we can set them up with a vendors account..... Free advertsing has ended.
