Not mine yet!, I snatched them from the www.V6accord.com







Interesting, Huh?

 

for 500$, it is worth it

 

Dang! It even includes the gaskets!

 

Will these change colors like the CTs do?

 

All SS will do!

 

can we say comptech knock off

 

I'm impressed.

 

im curious would it fit with no mods since it is for an accord v6 i mean i know our engines are similar but are they that alike

 

those look sweet

good deal.

 

One question, what is the reason for the thicker and compression gasket?? Comptech uses the stock flat metal piece. That is not the stock gasket...

 

if the comptechs fit on the tl/cl/cl-s/tl-s

it should fit on our cars just fine

sidemarker

 

when do the dyno sheets come up? how much will they MSRP at?

 

Those look so good, I hope they fit our cars

 

***********NEWS FLASH**************

98+ v6 accord
99+ tl/tl-s
01+ CL auto

can use the same spring,sways,exhaust,headers. acutally comptech has only 1 part number for them

 

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?

lol...i was just gonna say that...i found out when i bought comp exhaust used and they stuck out way too far...it wasnt so much the hangers but the tips or the can extended too much....make sure you get the right exhaust...id say error on the side of the accord it was the TL exhaust i had...back to the subject hand hand....looks just like the comps...just not sure if they smell like the comps...and i notice they dont have the little rear bank bend allowing them to fit the 6mt...someone may wanna give them a heads up on that

 

I wonder if there is a different welding technique???...

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.

 

Question guys...since these fit into the 98 accords...that means it would fit into my 99 3.0 right?

 

Yea, but living so close to where it is made (80% 0f the nations carpet is made within 60 miles of Dalton, GA) I got mine for a very low price, possibly 25% of what most pay...

 

dude, put em' in quick!!!

 

Yes, I know that feeling.
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.

PS…..BERBER Rulz !!!!

 

DAMN!!

just thought of something!!

how much do u think these would cost if our man Dean did a group buy on them?! prolly in the upper 300 range maybe?

 

no, the downpipe is different on the accord where it fits onto the cat
