[QUOTE=Excelerate]Just playing with you man... of course you bolted it to the head!

Here read this. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132167 IT is possible and one other member just posted about doing it to. How can you say you can't when you haven't tried. Want to take back your totally incorrect statement.
Like I said before we all make mistakes. No one says Allmotor can't install headers. I have alot of respect for the guy. But I am am saying that you are Dead wrong...........

allmotor_2000

I think the problem is that AW swapped the labels... the manifolds cannot be swapped, but nobody said the manufaturer couldn't swap the labels!!

You guys should bash the person who stated that they can swap the manifolds and get everything to bolt up (no matter where the labels goes)!

However, that thread got out of control. There were many immature members disparaging Alpha Werk's reputation and ranting about insignificant issues. That thread was unfair to AW and I want this thread to re-assure consumers that that was an isolated incident. I went out of my way and removed my headers and installed another set for a reason. I had to use a sawzall to cut a frozen nut on the cat and everyone knows that is a PITA. So, I do not want this thread closed.

Hey... I would buy AW headers for my car... if that makes you feel better!! At the time only Comptech made headers for the 6spd.

Actually, now I'd probably make custom headers

jgscott

Hey I would buy one of yours, if it came with a bolt on TURBO attached !

Haha.. well make me a custom tubular equal length manifold for my 6th gen Accord Turbo i4. I want to keep my A/C b/c it's a sedan and sometimes I get groceries with it. No not really but it is a sedan.

I'm out. Have a good weekend.

I think your mixing apples and oranges in this case. I also don't think you will find many people on this forum or otherwise who will agree with that arrogant statement.


The customer bought Nexus's headers in good faith, paid an installer to R&R his system and in the process found the headers to be of infererior workmanship. The option at that point was to put his stock exhaust back on, pay for the labor, spend time taking pix, calling nexus, hoping their customer service would take care of it, paying shipping to send it back, waiting, take the new header back to the installer, paying again to have it reinstalled which would have cost more than the fix that the shop performed. I think what bobbydoedoe did was fiscally responsible for both parties. Nexus's customer service reputation would not be in the gutter if they were to make doedoe boy whole. I can see by your your answer above what I may expect from your company if I should have a problem with one of your products.

I'll take my finger waggin off line. I'd just like to see the little guy get what he deserves, for he certainly did not deserve to pay for the inadaquacies in workmanship directly caused by Nexus, and then take one in his bung hole. Hope everyone has sucess with these.

You like saying bung hole don't you?

Since you do not like that illustration let's suppose Comptech had an issue with their headers, i.e. their initial problem with resonance. You take your Comptech header and go to the local exhaust shop and fix the problem and submit a bill to Comptech without even calling/asking them for a replacement/help. What do you think Comptech would say? They would not pay that. Now, should that header have had a problem with fitment: NO!! Should brand new cars have a problem: NO!! But they do sometimes and that is why there are recalls and Honda authorized dealers to fix Honda problems. It is the same with Alpha Werks. They would have replaced his header. Yes, it would have been an inconvenience for the customer and I believe AW would have taken care of him, but we will never know b/c no one called them and submitted the issue.

And FYI ask anybody who has purchased items from me: the customer service has been excellent. I can provides screen names if you want. BUT if you don't feel like dealing with my company then DON'T. And if you want to continue this conversation take it to PM b/c I don't want to crap up this thread.

You guys are killing me.. There was a single instance.. Until proven otherwise..

Excelerate created this thread to make his/Nexus customers feel more comfortable about the product they've received and are going to install..

We've already covered everything that's in this thread.. Just drop it..

I work in QC and I can tell you it's nearly impossible to 100% inspect every single part.. The machinist probably should have caught it but that's implications of human error..

Please, everyone let it go.. It's getting out of hand where every AW header thread is getting destroyed with the same info.. Thanks..



I'm going to clean up this thread and leave it for NEW discussions..

pimpinTL02

great.. Thank you.....

I dont see people bashing on OBX and Stone headers and they are worse..... PLus no OBX or Stone representative has ever come on here to back up their product or give customer service so leave AW alone...

big mike 13

if you put back on your comptechs can i have your Alpha's for a nice price?? =)

jgscott

Jonesi , this may be a first for us but..... I commend you for seeing this. Sometimes people can't see the forest for the trees. There were so many inaccurate statements in these AW threads I just could not stand seeing a product that had been so positive become trashed because of one Error.
People who had NO headers gave expert statements. People who never even seen headers in person gave expert statements. People who never installed or seen installed gave expert statements. People who had the AW headers and never even installed them on their car gave expert future prediction statements. Ditto expert/inaccurate people about C/T headers.
I have had those headers on a year and 30K+ miles with no probelms. Never even retighten the bolts. I paid $200 for them and I am qualified to say. Alpha Werks Headers are a Great product. The Distributor and retailer both stood behind them and came here to reslove the issue's. If you choose not to Spend $1100 on C/T Headers Buy them. I'm out.

I wanted to wait a couple days for the ECU to make adjustments to the headers. I have to say that the power is great! It feels exactly like the power I have with the Comptech's on. I have had no resonance issues, no exhaust leaks, no 02 sensor hitting, and great power gains.

To those who have asked, the AW headers that I used in this thread to test fit and monitor dyno gains are going for $450 shipped.

when will u guys come out with the 6-spd model header??????????????

Nexusindustry

To answer the 6Speed questions...I am currently looking for a 6Speed to do some R+D on to modify our current application to fit and still make the power gains that we require out of the product before we send it to production. If anyone is interested please PM me. Obviously the headers that we make will be free if we can use your car to do the test fits and dynos.

search on stone headers and see the pics I took on how to measure the flange offset,,, or if you have block with heads on it, mate the flanges up to it and test for "square". Very easy thing to do before you do your install. 02 sensor is a different issue.

try here some pics lost

i had the o2 sensor problem as well.... it was not only one person~

but i havent adjusted it and the o2 sensor is touching the oil pan and everything seems to be fine

Well, If you consider outsourcing the project overseas, I'll be happy to host it in Poland.

But seriusly - people are waiting for a 6SP headers for less than 1200$.

If the fitments are resolved...wht happened here?

I guess testing one set isn't truly resolving much.

What is the word on the 6 speed headers? I have offered to let them use my car and no one has responded......

allmotor_2000

Stone Headers fit the 6spd and they are < $300

CLS-PL

Would you recommend 'em ??

How do they compare with CT ??

Nexusindustry

I have presented the Acura-CL 6Speed header to our project coordinator. Once they put the finishing touches on the Scion tC turbo kit and the Lexus SC430 exhaust they said they can do some re-engineering on the header to allow for the 6Speed.

There hasn't been just one set installed. Do you know how many people have Alpha Werks headers installed on their car? The third batch of headers I received are almost out of stock and Nexus got 75+ headers in. And that is the third batch. If there is a problem then ppl need to start calling Nexus and speaking to them. If one or two headers have had problems then that does corrupt the whole batch. Also, if you have a problem with your header call up Nexus Industries and tell them and they will send you a new header. I have already spoken to them about this issue and they have no problem taking your header back and sending you a new one. They will just send it back to the manufacturer and get credited for a new header. You guys need to understand that two headers having issues being installed is not reason to discredit Alpha Werk's fitment and/or reputation.

Hey I tried to PM you but yoru box is FULL.



Hey. I havent had time to install them yet. I'm trying to plan something with scalbert so we can meet up and install them. I'll let ya know how it goes. The only thing I'm nervous about is the flanges not lining up with the rest of it once its mounted to the engine...from I saw tht someone else had a problem with...

Well I am not an "Official Vendor" anymore so my mailbox storage has been dramatically reduced in size. I've deleted a bunch of PM's. Don't worry about the install you should be fine.

If there are any fitment problems please call us at Nexus Industry. We will take back the header if there is a fitment problem. It is no skin off our back because we send them right back to Alphawerks and they credit us. Remeber we are the North American Distributor.

So if you buy one look at the numbers:

1. V6 Headers sold 2003-2005 --> 417
2. Problems 2003-2005 --> 3 headers (If you contacted us we replaced it, and one of these was a prototype.)

So you have nothing to lose, and only speed to gain.

How did the install go?

VeeralS05

Well...recently I got into an accident...no one on the board knows...but some kid backed into my car and busted my passenger side headlight and fender...so I'm having them replaced sometime next week...Then after that I will start installing all my AfterMarket Parts sitting around...So as soon as its back I'm going to install the following:

- Alpha Werks Headers (i'll make a write up w/ scalbert on the install)
- Unorthodox Pulleys (Crank,P/S, Alt.)
- Cross Drilled Rotors

03 CLS

Dam, sorry to hear that Good luck getting that fixed and the install of your parts. I just wanted to see if you encounter any issues before I buy a set of headers.........

VeeralS05

haha Many are depending on me to tell them with issues...I'll make a really big write up for everyone to to read and for all the PW's...haha...But I'm also nervous of problems..but with what they have told me...there havent been many issues only about 3 so I think I should be in good grounds on the install...

Any luck on the header install?
