They honor their eBay pricing if you email them.

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.

Sounds like you might have an air leak. Drive it for awhile and then re-torque everything. I don't have any whistling noises on my TL.

Yeah, we all can't have 10 second Acuras.

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

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.
