topspeed headers

does anyone have these? i was on ebay looking for alpha werks headers and i stumbled upon these.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33631

i believe those are topspeed and/or zr racing product headers.

we seriosly need to have an alpha werks header bulk buy.

I knew I saw this picture before. Some guy on the TL board was looking at them too.

I'd be weary. Look at how the flange in this picture is warped. Looks like too much heat when welding.

I heard they have fitment problems just like the OBX.

All the Accord guys have bad things to say about them.

I would just go with one of the ones that have been installed on a CL or TL.... Comptech, OBX, AlphaWorks, or Stone. Why be the guinea pig with your $30k car?? And honestly, I'd only choose Comptech of OBX out of that group (for now, until the AW prove themselves further)....

I agree Comptechs are way overpriced, but doesnt mean you wont have any improvements with headers.

Wait, so you used to have Comptechs? Why did you take them off? Even you got them for less than retail, do you feel they were not worth the money you paid for them?
