no problems but the occasional resonance at about 2700 rpm. But it doesn't happen enough to bother me.

I just had them installed Thurs. and I love them. Can't beat them for the price. It took a few days to feel the power, but it seems the ECU is adapted b/c I feel it now. I also have the headers from the first batch which was supposed to have resonance issues, but I've only heard the noise 3 times in total.. and it's really not that loud (I have to be listening for it to actually hear it).

As for the Stone headers, I thought that was a one-time group-buy? I didn't think they were still available.

I have OBX and they resonate every fukkin time at 2500rpm. Bulldog01 has Stone and also has some noise at a few different rpms although not so bad as OBX...much quieter. Nashua claims to have no resonance with the Stone headers. MOST people with OBX tend to have resonance and the price on eBay is a bit cheaper than the Stone headers (and WAY cheaper than Comptech). The OBX only "mooooooo" around 2500rpm. Other than that they sound a bit louder than normal stock headers but roar the way you dream your car could sound. Bang for the buck....OBX rocks. Stone sound the same (roar at VTEC range) and have les resonance than OBX and Comptech cost a mint but have no issues that I have heard of.

I love them as they add so much more power then anything i have installed. Also the price was crazy as i went in at the first group by.

I have one question. Since they lasted the winter here in CT, they became a little grimy and tarnishes. How do you polish them to get them looking like new. i have the stainless steal set?

You have 2 options:
1) get the stone headers (or OBX) and get it modded to fit the 6-speed. Ask ShawnS he had pic of side by side comapro between the 6-speed and Auto headers.

2) In few months, Stone Headers may ( I stress may) release a 6-speed version.

Ask and you shall receive.

Here is a picture of my 6-Speed Comptech Headers before the install.
The FRONT bank is the same as the auto, but you can see the REAR bank has a bend in it to clear the motor mount.

lol...that's exactly how much i paid for them. i could have gotten them for $325 shipped, but i elected to use paypal rather than m/o or cashier's check...thus, the $10 extra.

we probably got them from the same guy.
