I've done a search. Not many comments about their durability and reliability compared to comptech, obx and stone's. I'm interested in getting them since they are so cheap and they are almost equivalent to the ct's, performance-wise...

Anyone has any comments?

 

Consensus seems to be to buy the Comptechs if you want a smooth install.

I had some difficulties with the OBX and their fitment. With some patience, they do go on, they do sound good, and they do put some more ponies down.

OBX seem to be the most notorious for fitment problems. I have seen some fitment write ups on the Alpha and Stone headers too tho.

I'd say - if you got the $$$ buy the comptech. If you're being thrifty, it's your choice. Roll the dice.

 

I have the Alpha Headers on my 01 CLS Auto. Had them installed about Feb- March. No problem at all. Did not have problem installing them either.

 

Same here but I only had mine installed for about a week.

 

I want em, where can I get them?

 

The alpha werks are still new to us. Accord owners have been using them for a while now and they all like them. I guess we'll have to give it time like everything else.

So far though, everyone CL owner that has them loves them.

 

i have to disagree with pseudo... no installation problems whatsoever with the alphawerks

i had a problem with my o2 sensor, but that was cuz i droppd it on the floor and im pretty sure some oil and shit got onto it.

fits like a glove. performance wise they are great. buy em now if you can to get the cheap introduction price, pretty soon they'll be selling at around $500.

http://www.nexusindustry.com/ Call Carlos. Tell him Jamie sent you. I was the 1st one to put those headers on the CLS. Work a deal with him. He's a good guy to deal with. His tel # is 1 877 866-3987

 

-Is that possible? I wouldn't mind gettin' a set for $300-400. That's gangster.

-And how are the performance gains compared to the comptech headers?

 

does anyone have any "real" proof that they do work. like dyno or slips before and after?

 

You think the guy at nexus industries can get me the alpha werks for $400 shipped?

 

i got mine for intro price for 290 shipped... which was a steal..!!

but it was made clear that the price was so that we can go out and promote the headers.

nexus sells them for $475 i believe. hopefully they can hook u up with a better price than that though. good luck

How are the gains compared to comptech, any dynoes or anything? should be the same right since its basically the same design?

 

someone with the AW headers is planning to do dyno, not sure if he did it. let me ask him

 

when i see some proof, then i will get a little more serious on these, but until then.........

 

bigguyonbike planned to do a dyno today. i PM'd him, hopefully we can see some data soon.

does he have an S or P

 

he has an S

his sig:

- Mugen (t-stat, fan switch, radiator cap)

- AW headers

 

Cant wait, this may be a dream. Is it a fact that fitment and quality is better than obx?

 

well for sure no fitment issues at all whatsoever. fit perfectly. just make sure that the header piece with the alphawerks emblem goes in the rear, not the front.

as for performance we can't say yes for sure until we get the dyno, but if you ask me the performance is there.

 

C/T had those Headers at 1st. They wanted $1200 for them. WHY ? Before OBX where else could you get them from ? OBX came out with them. They had some problems early. So did C/T in the beginning. Stone came out with them. They had a DYNO, was not a comparison on the same car, the same day, back to back Stone had problems with them. Alpha Werks now has them. Look at the Headers and compare. There is no Flow/Design diffrence they are all clones. They are all going to make about the same HP. If you took the Heads off of 3 or 4 diffrent CLS's and Dynoed them back to back, or even worst on diffrent car's, day's and Dyno they would be close, but not identical. It's called Production Tolorences.

PS Carlos @ A/W took a Honda Accord V6 to the Dyno with his headers and Exhaust. Stock Dynoed at 162HP. The Headers and CAT back did 193HP. He has the Graph and sound bite. The sound was the best I have heard. Call him, he'll let you hear it over the phone. It's sounds like a V8 car with exhaust.

 

take it to the track u lazy fockers........lol

 

You came up with it. Why don't you do it. I've got headers. You'er still looking.

 

if you guys haven't seen my vid racing a wrx... search for it download it and see it

im running him with my headers to see the difference soon, probably in a week or so. will post the vid then

Please call Freeman @ 561-842-3520 with all your header orders.

I just placed an order for mine, but since they are back in Florida, there will be a delay because of the huricane.

Good luck guys...

 

Gabo how much were they? and who is this guy, a shop how do I know if hes reputable

 

are they located in west palm beach?

 

I agree....I got mine from Freeman too and he's a standup fella.

Haven't installed the headers yet so I can't say whether or not I have fitment issues.

 

How much should I be looking at with this freeman guy and does he own a shop in the areA?

 

can anyone help me here?

 

I am not sure where in Florida he is. Just call him, he'll treat you right. He does have a physical shop and also a website.

Call him, with the prices he has on the AW headers, you can go wrong.

They list for over $500.00 anywhere else.

 

If he wants to run a GB and offer these special prices tell him to come on the site and become a paying vendor..

 

if you go to www.alphawerks.com there is a dyno of a CL-S doing 30whp with aw headers and exhaust..
