you won't fail emissions test. A visual inspection on the other hand if done, you will fail.

Bucky,

This is Nashua Night Hawk.... Your Promoter on Acura-Cl, Acura-Tl and this board.

First, Good for the V6 AccordéCLéTL guys now they can have a great product at an incredible price.

For those early supporter of SSAutoChrome like myself, what are we entitled for after this huge drop in price! That is $155 difference from what we paid less than 3 weeks ago....

Special gift coupons or special promottion would be very appreciated... (What I am entitled to?... )


Thanks in advance.

Not true…I only paid 999-shipped

And these cheap ass RIP OFFS don’t fit the CL’s with 3-pedals anyway.

You now... that bend can be fixed in 10 mins... go to your nearest and friendly Mineky Exhuast shop... let them heat the rear header a bit, put the headers under the jaws of Vis and squeeze... problem is solved... now the rear header does fit

I might be mistaken but these headers add about 25-30 horsepower. IF this is so, how much of a decrease on MPG am I going to have?

Mine went DOWN because I “enjoy the power” way too often.
I got 28.6 on a 400-mile trip this past weekend, but I mostly get 18-22 around town.

I don't know for sure if the PR headers are out yet, but the OBX headers are the same design as the Comptech's so the gains should be pretty close. which is about 10-15hp all around and 32hp in the high rpms.

I'm soooo tempted to buy these headers but I don't want product that will break or fail in a couple months from poor quality. Would I be just wasting $340 instead of saving ~$600 by getting these instead of Comptech headers?

I'd rather take a chance ( a very good chance they are good) with $340 than spend $700 extra, IMO

Well worth the risk to me.. it's like this is the first set of headers OBX has ever produced... I think they will be fine.

whats going on with theses group buys, the guy doing the 400 dollar one that ended yesterday, the guy at obx that just stated that the 340 buck deal says that the guy doing the 400 buck group buy will not be able to get his hands on the headers for quite some time.
http://www.v6accord.com/forums/showt...&highlight=obx

Does anyone know what is really going on and will the guy doing the 400 dollar group buy be able to buy them and ship them out soon or will i have to cancel my order? can anyone shed some light!
