I have them on my first gen. I put them on last Sunday and so far so good. They look well-constructed. These are the only headers I've ever bought, so I'm no expert. I can definitely feel an increase in power. They were a tight fit on my 3.0, but I wouldn't expect any fitment issues since they are actually marketed for 2nd gen CL's and Accord V6's. They definitely get my recommendation so far. Especially for $250.

i emailed ssautochrome, they replied back saying that XSPower is stone racing. I still doubt it somehow, but the only way to find out is to email xspower, they have a website!

My install for Stone headers wasn't recent, I had a set from the first and then second batch. But neither set fit right. I wasted $400 (install and then uninstall) on Stone headers at my dealership, and an additional $200 with a local guy that said he wouldn't charge me extra if it didn't fit. $600, plus $400 for the stone headers down the drain. How much does that equal? The same as the cost of brand new Comptech headers!
In the end I wasted a ton of money when I could have just gotten Comptech.
I talk to the guy same guy that installed my Stone headers and then my Comptechs and he's had some other people bringing him Stone / Megan / Alphawerks headers and all of them have had some sort of fitment issues compared to Comptech. I think he said the Alphawerks headers fit the best of the three, but it still wasn't as easy as a bolt on should be. If I were you, I'd go with used CT Headers if you can find them, otherwise just save the extra money and go with CT. The extra price will be worth it.

i installed sr headers from the 1st batch 20 months ago.
(3) problems ,
1. warped header to engine flanges. (required grinding flat)
2. primary O2 sensor bung needed to be repositioned to miss transmission case (remove, reweld and patch/grind)
3 fitment of rear header to downpipe flange missalignment (exhaust leak which could't be rectified)
removed from vehicle, now for sale.( $400 + 370 + 200 invested and have never performed properly)

I have the 3rd batch...about 18k miles on them, they fit perfectly and dont leak or anything. I think the 1st and 2nd batches had some problems. They are now on the 4th batch - so I would think they are just fine since mine are.
