Uh.....NOT the exhaust.
There are 3 different part numbers for the axle-backs....Accord, TL and CL. All of the hangers are a little different.
I too will be interested how the install goes and how the quality holds up over time.

Yes, I admit they do look good.
I sure hope for your guy’s sake that they were able to hold the same tolerances as Comptech or the install is going to be a bitch.
Another strange thing I noticed besides the flange thickness that scalbert mentioned.
Check out the welds. There is no discoloration from the heat of the weld as compared to the following two photos I took of my Comptech’s.
Do you think they somehow polished them AFTER the welding or did they use a different welding method?

BTW Shawn, Looks like you have nearly the same Burbur carpet as what I put in out finished basement last summer... You haven't been driving down to Dalton, GA in the last year (The capital of Carpet Manufacturing...)??

Shawn, I don't remember my Comptech's looking quite like yours and I was handling them like a kid a Christmas when I got them (The level of discoloration near the welds was minimal (under my incandescent soft-whites) or is there something about your lighting?)
However, from the resolution available, the OBX look nice... Maybe someone will have a look see down the pipes and see if they have been worked over by "Mr. Clean"...

I have that same carpet in my place right now. It sucks, cause I love vacuum marks...and this leaves none.
BTW, I think the only headers that may have HP gains over the Comptech's are the Prototype ones (I think that's the ones) since they're equal length. These may just be a cheaper alternative.

My wife thought I was a FUCKING NUT when I took the box down into the basement and bolted them together for photos.
Women just don’t understand our addiction.
