Will the OBX Headers fit a 6 speed

I must be blind b/c I cant find any replies about the OBX Headers and the 6 speed. I know the car on the dyno is an automatic, so does anyone know if they will fit a 6 speed? Please help me....i want a set

I believe I read on here that the answer was no.

The auto and the 6-speed have different configurations for the headers. COmptech came out with the new design to fit the 6-speed, so unless OBX does the same, you're stuck with Comptech....

OBX fitting 6-spd

Well... they only difference is a slight 'bend' on the rear manifold
that accounts for the stiffer (case-iron) rear motor-mount for the
6spd.

A quick way is to cut part of the motor-mount... chisel away, I don't think its significant to decrease the rigidity or strength of the mount...

OR, buy the Comptech!!

I had posted earlier about this when I pointed out the non-port-matched design of the OBX headers... they are MUCH smaller than the CL-S exhaust ports themselves!!

It's an Accord V-6 header... designed for a car making 200hp, NOT for the CL-S
