Well, they did a test fit & DYNO on a V6 accord, but the horsepower results were questionable because they used a car with lots of other mods.
The car also had an aftermarket CAT on it that was found to be undersized.
They did 1/4 mile runs and the car was faster with the Comptech’s installed.
There was also a test fit done on a 6-Speed CL-S that I helped put together and they don’t fit the car.
They can’t be made to fit the manual Tranny without a MAJOR redesign that I dought will ever happen.
After learning this I said SCREW IT and bought the Comptech’s !!!!
Other then that I don’t know.

hmmm, well, my CL-S is auto, and i need some friggin headers....if there isnt too much more of a wait, id be willing to hold out for the prototype...given that the price is reasonable and the gains are as good or better than the comptech....

Dean was selling the Comptech’s for 999-shipped.
Now they’re up to 1075 shipped.
Joe at Prototype told me the price point for the targeted September release was going to be 1000-dollars.
So unless there is a BIG increase in overall Horsepower or a curve that starts at LOWER RPM’s there is no reason to wait.
Factor that with the promises that Prototype has been breaking for almost TWO YEARS now, I said the HELL with them.
