About Header

Where is the cheapest place that I can find the header for the Cl-s? Is it hard to install? Will the Acura dealers install it and moreor less how much will it cost? I need to hear from the people in the forum that have done this mod to there car.

My dealer did the install. They work well with Comptech, and they encourage upgrades. They did a great job, no problems at all and it's good to know if i have any future problems i'm covered cause they did the work.

I haven't done this but personally (if i had a CL or TL type S) and was looking into headers I'd wait on Prototype Racing or whatever the other brands are that (I Think) suppose to come out with this summer. This alone would pay for someone to install them cause rumors are around here on the forum that they'll be 1000 bucks(about) you can have someone put them on for the price you pay for the Comptech 1200-1300 buck ones.

Someone famous, maybe Confucius or someone like that once said "Patience is a virtue, but waiting for Headers that may never be manufactured is a bad idea " or something like that

Hey bud...I'll be buying mine this summer...from a much cheaper source than Tim...and installing them myself. If this isn't a gotta-get-it-now thing I'll have a full FAQ with pictures etc up...if you're interested...I'm sure I can walk you through it...if you can wait till August I'll be back in TX and can come over and help you.

I am very interested in a set. Ever since I drove dragoons car at the meet I have dreams of Headers dancing in my head. So if we can get a group buy together or some kind of deal, I am in.

Doh! Forgot about ACP.

I just assumed this guy wanted to spend more money than he had too.
