Got a response this morning, said they will honor the 110 ebay price + shipping. Good stuff, i've read that the bolts and gaskets that come with the set are crappy. What are you guys going to use?

yeah, I paid $110 + $15 shipping. Just tell them you wanted to match ebay price and your set. They will tell you to send paypal and next day they ship.

The Home Depot I went to didnt have them, check a place like Monument Auto Parts or something.

Just ordered mine a few minutes ago, $125 shipped. If I use the comptech header install tutorial, will that work? Anybody know the best way to get some directions for these? Thanks.

Yeah, comptech instructions will work since they are essentially the same design.

Install went very well except had to take the torch out for a bolt. Everything fit right, no rattleing or hissing. No problems for me. a bit of air going thru at lower rpms around 2-3k other then that almost sounds like a G35! Best mod for the buck in my book.

Well there are also these headers on their website

Prod.#
ACCORD-RH ACCORD V6 3.0L RACE HEADERS CL 6 SPEED Price
$110.00

And if i recall coreectly i read a few places that these are the ones we are suppose to get for out 3.2cl's and tl's.

Now im a little confused why do they have 2 different prices and why would i buy the ones that are for a 3.0?

The 6 speed headers fit the automatics but the automatic headers don't fit the 6 speeds

Got mine installed yesterday for 120 bucks. So far I have had no issues. No resonance, no whistling through the pipes. Feels good on the freeway. I have to take it back in 400-500 miles to have my bolts retorqued because from what my mechanic said they didnt quite line up all the way.

Pretty nice mod for 223 bucks.

You can re-use the gasket that goes between the header and the cylinder head. My advise is to use 10x30 mm stainless steel bolts and nuts for the header and a-pipe connection. Also, use locking type washers in conjuction w/ the bolts. I installed mine this past weekend and using 10x30 mm bolts help align the header to a-pipe.

You have a how many thousand dollar car and you don't want to spend a few bucks on bolts? But you'll pay someone to do the job? Buy the bolts, do it yourself and come out ahead on money and knowledge! It's easy. If I can do it, anyone can.

This is from a post on the TL forum: "8.8 is the strength. you will want 10x40 1.25 or 1.50 pitch Metric bolts (or the equilivent size in standard)"
The only gaskets you would need is the manifold to head gaskets. (i reused mine, most people did this) the only bolts that may be hard to get off are the ones on the cat". That's all you need. Re-use your stock manifold gaskets instead of the ones they give you and replace all the bolts with the above. Reuse the manifold nutz. They're great headers! I've had mine for about a year now on my TL and LOVE them.

where can i get those from, i was just gonna take the ones that came wit the headers and go some place and tell them i want the bolts but stronger ones. What kinds of stores would have them.
