He says they are Xspower headers and came off his '01 CL-S, and he only wants $80

I've never bought headers and the only experience I have is what I've briefly read on this site.

Does it look like everything's there?? What kind of questions do I need to ask him?

 

Looks like everything is there. Not bad considering you can't get them new right now but they were $90 when new.

 

everything is there, but those are the gaskets that come with them from XS, i would recommend buying new ones from Acura...make sure you jump on these quick!

 

So I'm only saving about 10 bucks??

Oh well....

I guess the only thing I need to worry about when I inspect them is hairline cracks?? Is this right?

 

those look kinda rough looking

 

There looks like a bad dent (even cracked) right where the front pipe bends.
If he was local I would check it out in person to make sure its just a dent not a crack!

 

those look pretty beat. i live in richardson, want me to go check them oout for u?

 

contacted the person.. no cracks in weld.

 

Not the welds look in the pic where the front pipe bends, right after the bend, looks like someone took a hammer to it!

 

its supposted to be like that so it can clear the rear motor mount on the 6 speeds

 

Did he tell you that he was going back to Houston after this weekend?

Hopefully I will get to see it tomorrow

 

So, it's not a dent?

Hopefully I will get to check it out tomorrow. Thanks for all the help guys!

 

For $80 I'd just go with them. What's the big problem. They suck and you can sell them.

 

I wouldnt like the idea of putting some low quality headers on that look that bad when I got mine new for 75 dollars from a fellow acura ziner

 

What brand did you get?

 

XS they were sitting in some guys garage for like a year

 

And you think yours won't look like that after a year or two?

 

It might but not any bad weather here in north carolina helps and mine will probaly last longer.

 

I just wouldnt like the idea of putting already low quality headers on that look like crap especailly if your paying someone to do it becuase you might have to pay to get them taken off and the get the stocks put back

 

they have been sitting in his garage for quite some time. its just dirt and spiderwebs. hes going to clean it up.

 

Look here:


Hopefully not cracked.........

 

^ yeah that looks like a dent

 

Yeah thats what I was talking about the whole time, looks like a bid a$$ dent and might have a small crack , any crack will caus ALOT of unwanted noise!

 

They would have to be looked at in person

 

ask krazykrnboi he went to see them I think

 

i can... he lives near me

 

Krazyboi, I talked to the guy on saturday and he is only home on the weekends, i may try and go out there next weekend, but I'm starting to think twice about buying them...

 

i agree. treyster, have a good look at them and if they seem ok, offer him $70

 

Maybe its just me, maybe its just and older design, but my flex pipe that came with my XS headers looks nothing like the one pictured. The flex section on mine is more slim line and a longer. Not the short stubby looking one pictured. Possible stock flex pipe?
