anyone had experience with these....?

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*

 

My XS has been on 1.5 years. Not 1 problem.

The headers you linked are JUNK!!!!! See that front flex pipe? Uneeded! Waste your $ if you want.

 

lol @ the knockoffs of knockoffs.

 

well, sounds like you want Comptech then.

 

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.

 

Well I just bought them thru xs-power.com for $97 shipped. hopin' like hell these arent shitty..... :shakehead

 

Negative. Don't do it!!

 

por que?

 

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.

 

and i bought the xs ones, if there is any confusion there. not the ebay ones.

 

my cousin just bought the Number #1 headers and said they look fine. he has yet to install them on his 01 CL-S. sounds fine to me. they are at nopi.com.

 

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

 

damn, 320 for a set (after rebates)....not bad....

 

they will

 

$320 for a set of #1's? Sounds like ass-rapery if you ask me, considering the XS Power headers (probably just as good, if not better quality) are only $100 shipped. Dude, trust me (us)...other than Comptech, XS Power is the only other viable solution - that is, unless DC Sports finally got their fitment issues worked out. And even then, they're 3 times the price .

 

should i get these professionaly installed? how much do you think it would be?

 

Curious to hear more about these, by the looks, they seem O.k. Let us know how these work. Kudos to your cousin for giving these a try.

 

thats because SS Autochrome screwed them on a turbo setup...I was speakig to my neighbor about that last week.

My XS havent cracked and i've ran them from atlanta to orlando and back...

however, those ones you found dont look to bad...i'm not sure about the two flex areas
