Congrats on the install man. You're gonna love em.
Mine has actually gone down. Must be the extra heavy foot now that the mods are on.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost for the headers + installation?

Headers definitely rock.. one of the best mods for our car. Next I'm going to have to add something that improves the low end torque... either the 3.5L or the S/C.... we'll see

2003TL-S: You should be able to get the headers for under $1150 shipped. Example.....we have them for $1122 shipped. I had my headers installed at Park Ave Acura... without following the link I think it was $250 for the install.

Yeah chap it did feel good. So far, this is what I notice about them ...
first .. is this my imagination, or does the engine take longer to warm up with the headers? and cools down faster?
second .. car definetly feels like it breathes better and feels healthier. Less effort to speed up even at midrange RPM.
third .. exhaust note is considerably louder and more noticeable at high RPM even with my stock 03 exhst.
and last .. it does feel like I lost a little bit of low end tourque .. but I might be imagining that too. anyone else feel that way?

At first I thought it was just me but people have told me to that my car does sound noticeably louder. Nothing to the extreme but i'm sure the headers do change the tone a bit.

Chap, didn't you add headers and CT exhaust at the same time though? So your car definetly would've gotten louder with the exhaust. But I'm wondering if the headers change the tone of the CT exhaust? more\less drone? no change?
Yeah low end definetly felt quicker with intake. But now with headers .. I dont know, I guess it just felt a tad less. Maybe its this shit winter gas

You have to let me know how you like them. I'm thinking about the exhaust but not before sways.

And thats smart to do the suspension before the exhaust. Exhaust should be the last thing IMO.

UNC, no not every acura dealer deals with Comptech. Some don't like you to mod the car at all.
Dets, I doubt comptech will ever discount their stuff.
