AW headers...

Yes, another topic about these headers, I know.

The guy who sold me the headers said that he might be able to do a group buy on the AW headers for the auto CL-S, but he's not sure how many he would have. He wanted me to find out how many people would be interested. He'll probably sell them for under 300 shipped.

He said that he had pre-ordered 4 so far and he'll have them on tuesday.

Alright, so I talked to him again and he said $300 shipped.

Please only reply if you're serious about them.

he'll have 4 on tuesday so the first 4 people who reply will receive his email addy on tuesday. I don't have anything to do with this deal, I'm just recommending him since I saw these headers somewhere else for 475 plus shipping.

If rezurex really wants one, there's 3 left.

Alright rezurex,

also everyone else, please understand that I don't know this guy personally.

He's just someone that I bought the AW headers from and he shipped them fast.

I know that there are a lot of people on here who want headers but are reluctant to spend over a grand on comptechs and obx being the other choice - people have heard bad things about it. I don't know him personally, I just know that a lot of people want headers and don't know where to look for them so this is one of the places where you can get them for really cheap. Whatever transactions everyone makes will be through this seller.

I was very happy with the price and my transaction, it was shipped the next day.

Could you please leave a review after you have installed these headers regarding fitment? Also, could you tell me his Ebay name so that I may be able to purchase AW headers from him in the future. I want headedrs but I think I'm going to have to wait for a few more months before I can get them.

Wait until tuesday.

He has ordered the headers but he doesn't have them in stock. He's expecting them on tuesday.

He doesn't want to make any deals until he has them in his posession. Once he get's them, he'll let me know and I'll give the first 4 guys his paypal and aim name and you can buy them directly from him and ask any questions that you have.

He should have them shipped out by thursday.

This is what mine look like:

I'm from the Naperville area. The seller is from Florida.

AW are Alpha Werks headers. It's just another option to Comptech or OBX but cost a lot less than comptechs and seem to be more reliable than OBXs.

Where do you live?

I don't have the headers yet. I sent him the money on thursday and he shipped them on friday, so I'll be getting them next week.

I don't know how much it will cost but the member named akuratek is a mechanic at my local acura shop. He's a really nice guy and he'll do my springs, shocks and icebox for around $200. I'll ask him how much it will be for the headers.

So are you thinking about headers? I can show you what they look like when I get them. I'm expecting them on thrusday.

Are there any more slots for the headers??? I actually live in Florida so I might be able to arrange a pick-up to save a few bucks. Where in FLorida is this guy and if there are any more headers left I will take a set. Thanks

WAIT!! I didn't realize it was for the Type-S. I have a 99TL so if they fit which I don't think they do because the diameter for the Type-S is wider I'm still in. Also, can you ask your connection if he could possibly get the Alphawerks headers for a 99 TL-P?

Alright, I can ask him. These are the same headers that fit the V6 accord, so I don't know if theywould fit a tl, but i'll ask for you.

Loseit, If you want, we can meet up and I'll show you the headers once I get them because I won't be able to put them on until the week after this week.

Hey rezurex, I don't know how much it'll be for the install. I'm sure I'll get a good deal from Akuratek since he's doing the shocks, springs and icebox all for just $200.



CleanB, I'll put you down.



Red-CL,

so far I have

Rezurex
bigguyonbike
tunaboy
and now CleanB, which makes it four.

Tunaboy said something about wanting to ask him questions because he has a 99 TL so I don't know if he's 100% sure he wants them.

If he decides not to get them, you'll be next on the waiting list

If any of those people don't want a set, let me know because there are people who want them.

Also Red, he said that he will be getting in more soon so even if you don't get these now, he'll have more.

tony.. allmotor told me he would install my headers for $150 when i was thinkin about buying the obxs' ... i dont know if thats a hooked up price, but it sounded kinda steep to me especially from a private party.. not sure what u should expect to pay, why dont you DIY?


so i wonder what the verdict is on alphawerks, hopefully they dont fuggup..

anyone on the board have them?

Who are you actually doing this GB for? Is it through Alpha Werks? PM me the info.

I only ask b/c Group-Buys are not allowed unless they are approved and run by a sponsor of the site and posted in the appropriate forum.... so again, PM me the info and I'll run it by the powers that be....
