Excelerate Performance: Last Chance for CT-E Headers!!!



So, with a great deal of sadness, we saw the CT-E headers disappear due to the high cost of materials, a shrinking market, and competition against lesser quality overseas headers. However, we have been able to negotiate a deal for a final batch of CT-E headers for the CL/TL 3.2L and Accord V6. After this, there will be no more available. I have had a number of calls and emails about this so here is your chance to get one.



CT Engineering headers are manufactured using CNC machined flanges and mandrel bent T-304 stainless steel tubing. All headers have precision fit merge collectors and all joints are TIG welded for durability and appearance. Gains are upwards of 30whp in the higher RPM range. And each of these headers is hand built here in the US using US made materials.

So what is the pricing? And how will this work?

We have a to buy a batch of 30 of these headers. So we will at least need 15 people to commit and by commit we mean give a deposit. We already have 2 people on the list that have given deposits. The price will be $1150 shipped to the cont 48 US (after the GB it will be $1250 shipped). Non-refundable deposits of $200 will need to be made via Paypal to excelerate@sbcglobal.net by June 30th. The headers will take 3-4 weeks to build. The balance will be due by the time it is ready to ship.

So let's begin a list. If you're interested add your name. If you've made a deposit - write DEPOSIT PAID next to your name. I already have two people who have pre-ordered the headers.

1. PREORDER - DEPOSIT PAID
2. PREORDER- DEPOSIT PAID
3.
4.
5.

etc etc.

Yes the headers do gain 30 whp in the top end on the CL-S/TL-S. I'll see if I can get the dyno from CT-E.

This has to be about the 5th time we've been told they'd stop making them.

P2R said they need 10 confirmed buyers to make another run. Why pick P2R over CT though? I don't think P2R had as much gains as this.

I'm pretty sure p2r headers had long primaries and made better numbers then CT.

They did stop making them. You can't get one unless we make this batch. They are too costly to make; that is why I have to buy 30 to even get this price.

the gains w/the CT headers are real. here's the proof. 1st run was stock. 2nd run w/the headers and 3rd w/AEM CAI. Buy the headers....you won't regret it.

I REALLY doubt that. The engines are a bit different (No VSA TB), but I doubt they make a measurable difference in HP.

The 6MT makes more power then the auto all over the rev range, and the cams are the same.

I dont trust any dyno graph that doesnt have a torque overlay. The numbers could be easily manipulated. The CT runs were done with the axlebacks as well.

The numbers Mike posted are much more believable, and the torque gains above 5k rpm are very impressive.

Really? Where did you get that info? Aside from a couple sensors, VSA, and pulleys, they should be the same exact engine. I don't see how the 6MT engine can make more power than the Auto with the same cams.

Or are you talking about the gains from the transmission itself?

This. I was just stating that the difference in HP numbers between the 6MT and auto lies in the drivetrain losses, not in the engine itself.
