Man. These SSAutochrome guys are a bi%@& to get a hold off. They are advertising their headers for the 03 6MT on ebay but when you go to their website to order, they do not have it. They dont have no phone number and you cannot buy it of the ebay listing either. I emailed them several times but no response for four days now. What did you guys do to get yours/

DEEDEE@ss is not replying either. I am getting desperate to get headers and really do not want to get used CT for $500 but i guess i will have to do that.

You can buy them off ebay right here... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Accor...spagenameZWDVW

Looks like they've stopped the "buy it now" option. Sales are probably going up.

Just thought I'd post this for reference,

GarageFive in Richmond, BC quoted me $180 Canadian for a header install.


I've ordered mine, I'll post my when I get them installed.

And a question.....has anyone noticed a gas milage increase after installing headers? Seems like it should improve at least a small amount.

I put mine on today and yesterday. They are awesome! car sounds bad ass but no rice! obvious improvement. where it stopped pulling harder at say five thousand before it just keeps pulling harder until 7200rpm. good buy. highly recomended. There is no resonance what so ever! I had a car before that had resonace ('95 accord 5mt with every bolt on and pipes, at 4000rpm I couldnt hear myself think.). I drive a 6mt '03 CLS. I think my car sounds a hair more quiet than a G35 but just the same in my opinion. DIY is not for the faint of heart, person who is short on tools, or just doesnt know there way around an engine bay. I did it with a few like minded gear heads and a lot of beer. It took a very very long time to do it correctly (7hrs.). the bolts that come with the kit are shit and I had no problem breaking them in half. buy grade 8 or 10 bolts. These pipes are a bargan. Time will tell. Actually if they break I will buy another set. I have pullies, belts, plugs, Comptech Icebox, tokico adjustables, and Comptech spring sitting in my living room left to install. I will make a detailed write up when done.

I bought headers off of Ebay for $100 even, they look similar to CT. I looked around to see what shops would charge in my state and they want to bone people (A lot of the shops I asked about charge almost $80 an hour in WA state). I put them on myself. I would recommend putting them on yourself as long as you know what you are doing. If not look around for a good deal.

P.S.->> 4 hour install

They are the same header, SSAutoChrome is the only company I know of that offer the XSPower Headers. You can only get them off ebay, i could be wrong though

find someone with all the right tools and sweat your fucking nuts off and install them yourself. It has been about 100 during the day. I think mine gave me like 500 WHP because I installed them myself. i love any excuse to work on the whip. holla back at a playa!

Yeah they are not on the website.

I called him and offered $160 for them. That's the starting bid (110) and the shipping to Canada (50).

On a side note, hope this post comes through fine. Posting from my BlackBerry while in a meeting

Hey guys:

Went through the SSAutochrome ebay auction and no luck. Lost to someone by 2 dollars a week ago. LOL probably to someone from here. Anyhow, did another search and this time for XS-Power on Ebay and voila, they have the same headers under "Accord 3.0 V6 CL". I bought these for $160 shipped to Canada for my 03 6MT. Got them in 3 days. Installation was a breeze since all my bolts came off like butter and had them on in 90 minutes.

Driving around with them now and the car is a whole new beast. I recommend these 110%.

Yeah, it looks like SSAutoChrome has two ebay accounts.

Search for Accord Race Headers and you should see listings from both www.ssautochrome.com and xs_power. They both refer to the www.ssautochrome.com website so I'm assuming there's zero difference.

(mine are on route via Fedex right now....)



Did you really get them on in 90 minutes? Damn...I'm almost tempted to try the install myself. How many km on your CL?

My friend is a Mechanic and I dropped the car off at this shop to adjust rear calipers and oil change and to look into the headers and see how much time it would need.

he ended up installing them. Used the xs-power gasket, bolts and all. Yup he said 90 minutes flat if not less. My car has 75k Kms on it. that should be 47k miles approx.
