true dat. you will definately feel the 30 HP as well as the extra growl it makes when vtec kicks in. who said you had to buy the comptech headers for $1200. I paid $300 for the OBX stainless steel or find a used comptech on blackmarket or ebay.

unleash the fury man!!!

you noobs really should just goto one of the meets, and just sit your ass/test drive/ride in another member's CL with headers and feel for yourself. As far as I'm concerned, Acura should have made these headers stock instead of the crappy ones they gave us.

most the headaches aren't really there and all the headaches have been easily fixed

http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...&highlight=OBX


the #'s don't lie nicky


personally, I wouldn't mind the headache of running the chance of having something crack and getting it fixed for under 50$. I'd still have 900$ extra in my pocket

They’ve been “almost ready for production” since mid 2000 so don’t get your hopes up.

i agree that most are bad things, but some have had no problems whatsoever and it would be great to save $900.

some? Over 70% have no problems from just the little poll we did. And about 15% of those that did had it from the resonance which can be fixed w/ stock gaskets.
