Some people are trying to fabricate a set of equal length headers.

Should be a substantial improvement over the traditional design.

There is one I believe in existence at this point but no timeline as to when some one will start production.

They'll are estimated to run somewhere around 1k...which makes sense to me.

Less HP at higher rpms then the CTs, but the same gains. More of the power is down low, where we need it.

It dyno'd with more HP than Comptechs...

I don't know how that affects power down low with an equal length design.

A bunch of people were throwing around the idea of selling their Comptechs if someone was able to fabricate a small run.

I'm good with what I have...and from the looks of it.

As usual, not enough people are willing to pay for big tag items...

So it'll probably never come to the market.

It made more HP then CT down low. But up top the CT headers made more power. I wish I could find the dyno graph.

I do believe that there would be a lttle more gains, but with a FI setup would be much more gains like someone previously said.

Anyone can email the maker, his email is on the site. I wanna see the gains on our car.

These are dyno graphs from an Accord V6 with the comptech and the protoypes headers compared. If this is true, then our cars would see way more gains. I pulled 248whp and 218tq when I pulled a dyno run with my Neo un-installed. Im curious now about these. But no 6 speed setup.

what could easily be done is modifying any of the shortys to a mid length ... and use burn collectors

p2r headers? what?

the prototype headers were in development for a few years, they never got made because when they sent the jig or something to the company that was supposed to mass produce the design they go f*cked. so its not their fault. by the time this happen, the demand was too low to reinvest more money to produce another jig.
