Has anyone heard of these headers??

Hi, I've never heard of these guys and I was wondering if anyone has dealt with them. The dyno's listed in the auction seem pretty realistic (if not too low) and I was just wondering if these looked ok.

Since the web site listed in the auction, topspeedauto.com, doesn't list a set of headers specifically for an Acura TL, I'd guess these are the same headers used on a Honda Accord V6?

Why spend $250 for 10-15hp when you can spend a few hundred more and have 30hp with either Comptech or Alpha Werks. Check out the link in my thread for Alpha Werks' info or check in the BM for used Comptech's.

Not true, that dyno was not done on a tl-s/cl-s. Remember how regular tls and accords yields way less than the tl does with the same header. I would say it would yield around the same gain around 25-28 ish. But its up to you if you wanna try it out.

I wouldn't buy them!!! Look how the rear down pipe merges into the main "A" pipe. It's just straight in. Look at every other header. OBX, comptech etc.... they have a nice bend going into the a pipe so it flows much better. This header that you are refering to just goes straight into the pipe hendering flowing.

I agree. Stay away from these unless you want a crapass product on your car.
