Greddy Headers are for real!!!
I emailed them yesterday. The headers would be on the market early next year. Yeah, baby.......
Here is the quote:
Hi,
I have heard that you are planning on developing stainless steel headers for the V6 Acura 2001 CL-S. Is that true? When it would be available for the public? Are there any figures for the performance gains and cost?
Thanks.
Here is the reply:
Thanks for your interest in GReddy Products
We have completed our prototypes and we expect to have the systems available early next year, but we do not have any specifics at this time to release.
Please keep in touch with your favorite Authorized Greddy dealer for more updates. http://greddy.com/dealers/

Until they produce dynos.....they are inferior to Comptech....
Now for a real question.....if they offer similar gains as Comptech and cost the same...what are you going to buy?

I do not think that Greddy would be naive to make a V6 headers and price it same as CompTech. They would have to price it around $850 MSRP to sell well. Also, Warpseed would get theirs at that price point.
Also, a lot of CL-S/TL-S and Accord V6 are holding on buying new headers due to cost only!
And What if non-comptech headers would gain 20-25 HP all accross the board? would it better than comptech's with only gains in the last 1.5k rpms ( 5500 to 6800 ) maxing at 32HP

New question....would you buy the Greddy at $850....if they had 10 less hp gain than the Comptech?

At just +15HP I would better off buy the RES, right?
Also, plus the Unorthodocs Pulleys and some Irdium plugs could equate a better value?
It is all about value for your dollars.

maybe someone should tell this to DC SPORTS. Then they will also make headers for our cars. With all this competition, the prices for our headers are bound to go down. i heard that DC SPORTS ceramic coated headers are good stuff too!

This is the sad truth. Not only are we the owners of a bastard child car from Acura, we are the bastard children that get no decent aftermarket mods.

This isn't a Civic nor is it an Integra nor is it a Supra. Demand for aftermarket mods for thsoe cars are SKY HIGH compared to the CL/CLS. Figure that the distrbution ratio for Premium Vs. TypeS is 60-40. Also, figure of the 40% TypeS owners only about 2000 are here and how many aren't as well as how many are still unsold and still on the lots?? You are dreaming if you think more than 3 players will be in the headers market, just crazy ppl... No one wants to create a product, invest money in R&D, test and have the little itty biddy demand that we CL owners are offering. There are such people out there as Market Researchers and as much as I hate what they've decided I can see their logic...

OMG JZ, you took the words right out of my mouth.
LIke JZ said our headers fit the accords!!! If this isn't a good enought reason to make headers I dont' know what is.
Accords+TL's + CL's = shit load of cars.
yayaya143- there is no way v6 headers will coast around 489. those prices are for 4 cyl which are less piping. thus cheaper.
HellaWhat- acutally the comptechs are kinda rusty after a while. or atleast rusty color.

BTW, the color is not rust...the material is stainless steel and thus rustproof...what you see is the heat discoloration of the headers..which is very normal, due to the amount of heat it must handle constantly.

20,000 to 30,000 client base is not small.
A sale of 3500 headers a year at $750 each is 2.6 Million a year in sales. Assume a net profit of $250 /header that almost $875K in profits a year.
But if they would sell only 1000 a unit they still keep some 250k in profits.

Another reason you don't see tons of companies making V6 headers is probably because it takes a lot more time and money to design an aftermarket header that fits and makes power compared to the typical i4 headers.
i4 headers only have a single flange that connects to the engine block, V6 headers have 2.
i4 headers only have to worry about clearance on one side of the engine, V6 headers have to fit on both sides of the engine.
