what happened to xs headers?
Ordered mine late last week.. Arrived yesterday and are getting installed tommorow at the dealer.
We'll see how they perform with my Icebox, I drive 70+ miles a day so hopefully they aren't too loud on the highway.

They are great headers, you won't be disappointed. Get harder bolts and don't use their header to engine gaskets. Use the stock ones over. Check this out:

Just picked up my car and drove it home.. Here are my initial impressions:
No resonance, but definitely a noticable whistling noise when the engine is under load. Sounds very much like a turbo spooling up (similar to my old chipped A4). While this is pretty annoying, I will have to drive it for a while, it seems to be tolerable over time. Powerwise there are no complaints, obviously. However, the noise alone dimishes the "luxury" intent of car. So if that is one of your big loves of this car, i'd stay away from this mod.
Overall I am satisfied with what I got for the price, and I'm sure it can only get better once I explore the power band some more.

i have talked to them through several e-mails and they have always responded to me very quickly, within the next day. the guy told me to just send him the payment and say which ones i wanted. i told him that there were alot more people that are wanting to buy these headers and he said to just tell everyone to do the same. so, just send them a paypal payment of $135 for the headers and shipping. they will send you the headers. at the bottom make sure you tell them which headers they are and put the product number(you can find that on their website). you will get the headers in about a week
Going to be a busy weekend for me....Headers, brakes, lower brace, lip spoiler, LEDS, MTF change, Power Steering Fluid change, Oil change, detail my car as well as 2 other cars... so much to do in so little time.
and then.... my H&R sports and Tokico Blues sometime in the next weekends
Work does suck but hey, make money, spend money on CL.hahaha..... what makes it even better is on AZ at work

did you guys say that they did not come with compression gaskets ( the ones that are like this O)? I can see what everyone was talking about with the cheap manifold gasket, its like paper! Maybe i'll have time to do the install this weekend

it does come with 3 compression gaskets. we installed mine and i'm getting this sound: it gets loud if i punch it mostly during 2-3k rpm. after 3k rpm, i have a different tone.. vtec?
great headers, replace screws, bolts, and washers with grade 8 or 10 stuff. can be found at autozone. i think it's a m8 screw.

Alright , so got a e-mial from them requesting $135 today . money has been send so lets see how long it takes. All you guys who have gotten them already, ruffley how long did it take??
the day or day after i sent the money thru paypal. i got it within a few days 3-5 (business days). pretty fast. i didn't get an e-mail of the tracking until the weekend after payment was sent, but it's okay. =] got it, installed ... its sexy.
i orderd mine on a friday night and didnt get them until the next tuesday. but that is what i get for ordering them on a friday night. so really they got here on the 5th business day. seeing as the next friday was good friday and monday was easter
edit: and yes they are still selling them for $135
