I have the Stone racing headers from the first group buy.

I have had them professionally cleaned out and smoothed on the inside by one of the top racing institutions here in Detroit.

I really dont want to messs with this. Car is now paid for. I bought it out after the lease and have a 7 yr 100k warranty.

ANother 200-250 to install them. I d rather sell them and save the money for the next toy. I will drive this car for a few more years and then get something different.

Shouldn't cost you $250 to install them. My dealer did my Comptech ones for $130. Trust me, headers are the absolute best mod for our cars.

Put em on!

Will headers void the warranty?

It really depends on the dealer, some will be mod friendly and others will scorn you for it...but most people can find a dealer that is mod friendly.

I don't want to pay 250 bucks to the dealer to install it. that's why I'm going to install it myself this weekend.

Headers are the best mod for this car. You already have them... why go through the hassle of selling and shipping them? Not worth it. Just put them on and enjoy the extra pull over 4500RPM!!

Hey JB, did you talk to Jens or Wayne about it?

babyblue

Just had mine installed this week.. Trust me as others have said you will not be disappointed.. Once VTEC kicks in you will love it even more

BBsAcuraRacing

I have been in one that has headers. DarrinB'
s car ran a 1420@99 with only OBX's and CAI on stock tires.

What I am looking at is that 650.00 has greater priorities right now.

CLpower

well one thing you also need to think about, i don't see you being able to sell the headers for much more then $300

BBsAcuraRacing

Well they are going to go up for 425 plus shipping. these are modified stones never been installed.

I wont give them away, or Ill just keep them....

Good luck with the sale. I agree with CLpower though, $425 is a little steep. Shipping is going to be close to $40. And because you "moddified" them doesn't really mean much becuase you never installed them so you don't know if the "moddification" even helped any; may have even hurt. Can't tell until you put them on.

good luck

The modding was cleaning up the welding debris and any other debris that will confuse the airflow. THis is a no brainer and can do nothing but help.

Put the headers on you won't regret it.

CLean

Do the S-type and base CL-P use the same headers?

CLean

Hey BBsAcuraRacing - I tried sending you a PM about your headers. Either PM me or clean out your inbox ao I can message you.

Thanks

You sound bitter and just trying to deny your own expensive mod/install with the headers. Why not put them on and stop complaining in an obvious way.

4 sentences started with "I ...."

God

Wow !! I got mine from the first batch too and had them installed along time ago . Cost $75 for install at a local shop

I'll take 'em off your hands. Give me a price if you decide to sell.

CLpower

$200 shipped I'll give ya!

Used headers usually sell for about 60% of their original value. Example, Comptech headers that cost $1100 new usually sell for $650 used. Based on that you shouldn't expect to get paid more than $300 for them, becuase they have never been installed and you had some custom work done to them that you feel will make them install easier and produce a few extra HP. Oh and that's $300 shipped. You might as well put them on, you'll lose more money on the sale of the headers than it would cost you to install them!

CrockPot

don't listen to low ball CLpower.

i'll give ya $225 shipped.

I just installed my OBX headers a couple of weekends ago. It's time-consuming, but not that hard.

I'll be happy to assist in installation.

darrinb

hopefully the stones arent a pain like your obx's were rob

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Yeah, OBX are sons of bitches. I can't believe they put their company logo label on the REAR header. All the other companies put it on the front one, so naturally I put the one with the label in the front. Wrong. So I had to take them both off and redo it.

Then the downpipes didn't line up properly, so Chris and I had to pull on the A-pipe really hard to bring it up to the front, and have Gary drop in the bolts. But I suppose nothing can be perfect, and I'm glad I was able to get them on without any other problems.

darrinb

i guess doing my sways for 4 hrs was a walk in the park compared to your 9 hr header install, lol

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Yeah, it took a long time, but I actually enjoyed doing the headers than the sway bars. Mostly because I had been waiting to do headers since November. I didn't want the sway bars as badly as the headers.

Nashua -- if you're reading this, thanks a lot for keeping in touch with me about the Stone Racing headers. You know I really wanted them, but I just couldn't wait any longer. Good luck with the GB.

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Oh, you think the headers and sway bars installations were bad.

When I was doing the rear springs, the suspension bolt got stripped. Not only did the thread on the bolt get messed up, but the thread on the A-arm got screwed up, too. I had to drive around for 4 hours going to 7 different shops with Chris to find the correct size tap, and I had to go to Godspeed to pick up a new bolt... only to find out once I got there that I forgot the bolt!! So I had to guess what size it was, but luckily I picked the right one. Honda dealership here in town said it'll take them A WEEK to get the bolt in. Lazy bastards.

Ended up messing up the thread on the NEW bolt, too. I had to file off the thread on the tip of the bolt, retap the A-arm thread, and I was finally able to put it back together.

For anybody doing the springs themselves, I STRONGLY recommend that you get up in there and look down the hole to make sure the A-arm and the strut assembly are lined up perfectly before putting the bolt in. It could save you a lot of time, effort, money, and high blood pressure.

darrinb

damn rob, on top of all that h&r sent you the wrong springs

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Heh, I forgot about that. It took TireRack nearly two weeks to ship out the correct springs. During that time, my car was sitting crooked so badly. The Comptech rake was a JOKE compared to mine.

Airplay

Are the as good as comptechs if so i will give u $280 plus $20 for shipping.

SCTL-SS

BBsAcuraRacing,
Now there is an offer you shouldn't refuse. That is very generous.

pmptx

325 shipped. I planned on getting in the next Group buy, but if you seriously don't want to install em (you should, the bump is amazing-I had em on my Integra GSR before my TLS) I will buy them. 325 is what I would pay for OBX, which is the other choice beside Stone.

darrinb

this should be moved to black market if hes gonna sell...
