Detailed writeup & dyno for OBX headers soon .....

Hey all,
Just wanted to let you guys know to expect a detailed write-up and dyno from me for the new OBX headers which are supposed to be a little more power than even the Comptechs! Also, expect a very thorough installation tutorial as well for installing them. Well, get on the edge of your seats now the headers should be here soon .... remember my car is TOTALLY stock as far as engine mods go so this will be a very real dyno as it will present both before and after the product was installed. Furthermore, I am getting my car serviced as scheduled so it should be in tip top running condition.

Check out the thread on the CL site here.

AdamR

NOTE : THE STOCK WHEELS/TIRES WILL BE PUT BACK ON TO ENSURE A GOOD DYNO PULL!

thats a cl thread. so am i to assume you have a stock cl or a stock tl, adam? is the header the same for both engines with the same 3.2 engine? some of the guy are right about you getting ahead of yourself. you might have posted the thread after you had the product and installed them. i also recommend you take pictures of the headers in multiple angles before you install them for the end user to compare to the CT.

they are out... i can get them for very cheap.

As far as horsepower they will not produce more than the comptechs because they are very very similar in design to the comptechs. If anything they will have the same horsepower gains. Steven over at OBX has told me this several times. He also said that I would have to do some custom work to fit these headers onto my TL as they were intended for Accord V6's.

Im not going to say how much im getting them for... but it is under 450... Maybe even cheaper if I can get a group buy going.
Ive told Steven about this forum and how many people would be interested he said he would consider it if we buy enough sets.

well sounds like we got a guinea pig boyz. don't leave out the custom work part, since CT's will bolt on without doing that. im all for less expensive parts but damn if im going to grind on the engine block or parts of the engine to make these damn things fit.

If you can get them for under $450 and the gains prove to be comprable to CTs, then sign me up on the group buy!
