The only problem i might see that you would have is:

1. Difficult to install, the holes are too small, or they don't line up 100%
2. They have a resnonce sound around 2,800 RPM like most people reported. But i also get one around 1,800 RPM, this one is not as noticable as the 2,800.

I would do it all over again, if you did have some problems with it, you could afforble to do it over another 2x with the money u save from CT

Oh definitely. You would of probably heard them 100's of times by now. The main one too look out for is Ceramic.

i can give some bad feedback on my set. i had trouble lining the a pipe with the front header. i eventually got 2 screws in and thats after alot of pulling. however, i think its just the set i got. otherwise, the power difference is noticeable and that is what counts.
good luck!

Yeah I love that combo. The CAI screams when the VTEC kicks in and sounds so beefy. As for the headers I love them also, I can definitely feel the increase in HP. I would recommend this to anyone!

No problem. Install was a little hard (lining all bolts up) but after that, it's perfect fit (tight fit). No leakage problem afterwards. I had my header wrapped thus no resonance heard like some others. So basically, it's problem free..so far.

Only thing is HP gain (at least to my dynoass) was minimal. I have a TL, but I imagine gain would be a lot more for TLS....or was it just because I'm a little "insensitive"? If I would to do it again, I probably don't install a header (Comptech or OBX) on a regular TL/CL...but again, for $340 shipped, it isn't bad either...

BTW, I have SS version.

No offense stunna....but you NEED to get your facts straight. THEY ARE THE SAME GUY! How do I know?! He's one of my best friends in real life. He got the ceramic to test it out since NOONE had them.
