These are used header's. About 15 months old.
In my opinion i would not buy them for more than $750. Here is the e-mail he sent me:

I am the second owner and I've had them about 5 months. The original
owner had them about 10 months. The resonance problem that you speak of
is fixed by working the flex joint weaving loose in a forceful manner
before installing them onto your car. I did not do this before putting
mine on and they did make some buzzing sounds at 1500 rpms and at 2500
rpms. It wasn't loud, but no I didn't try to work the flex joint loose
as Mike at Comptech USA recommended. If you were to compare the flex
joint on the Comptech's with those of the stock ones, you'll notice right
away that the Comptech weave is way too tight and as a result they don't
allow enough flexing which causes the resonance...you can e-mail Comptech
for more info at compinfo@comptechusa.com.
Thanks for your interest,
Joe

Wouldn't surprise me at all. I see things going for over retail a lot on these auctions. It's like an illness with some people, I have to watch myself sometimes and always check out price watch or something similar before going too far..

Iridium130: Like empeter wrote here.. some people bid on auctions for over what they pay regularly.. I guess it is an addiction to try to outbid other people sometimes.. go figure.

------------------
2001 Satin silver CL-S
* no navi, spoiler, mudguards

* fenderwell and door trim
* soon Comptech springs and sways
* 5% tint rear side, back

 

The headers are back down to $780. Not one but two bidders backed out with lame excuses.

"I wrecked my car"
"I don't have my car anymore"

The only thing more unbelievable than these two statements is their bids of $890 and $900 for used headers.

Those are really lame excuses and they deserve to get negative feedback for them.. besides the fact that they bidded so much for the headers in the first place.
