Gonna cost to catch up
Iv never heard of them so I wouldn't buy them myself. Unless you want to be a guinea pig let us know how they work out. Just stick to XS Power Headers or Comptech to be safe

well see, ive read the entire forums on the XS power headers...and ive looked at other honda fourms as well. in fact one of the forums had a sticky WARNING all memebers to stay away from XS and SSAutoChrome. i really cant afford a header that will crack in 3 months, even if it is only 100 bucks. personally, i couldnt give a shit about "hissing", my intake aready does that...and resonation isnt a big deal either, i just want reliability.... even something that will last a year and half or two years would be nice...the one year warranty caught my eye on that ebay item, but if the company has no website or number, how the *%$& am i supposed to follow up on that?
*sigh*

Most of the negative reviews for XS Power are related to their turbo manifolds, which apparently are junk and crack welds regularly. You have to realize these manifolds are under tremendous amounts of pressure, so cheap materials and second rate welds are going to fail. Our headers aren't under nearly as much pressure, therefore are less likely to fail.
I've also had mine on for over 1.5 years, and other than resonance between 2.5 - 3K rpm's, the quality and the gains have been completely reliable and worth the $200 I paid back then. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

HAHA! WTF is with the front flex pipe?! They think the engine is gonna flex? More likely it makes up for the parts being shitty quality and not being able to get the front and rear lined up with the block. Junk.

i got comptechs from excelerate not too long ago, but I still have to install. Visually, they're constructed perfectly, but for the price, hopefully they'll provide some gains
