Are these the XS Power headers?

A lot of members have been asking me to make a headers for the 2nd gen TL/CL/Accord since the XS Headers were no longer available. I had a few of my contacts in Asia look around and found these. I ordered a few sets and the quality seems alright. Not anywhere close to my Jpipe for the 3rd gen but the price is right. I see a few ways improvements can be made such has using a double lined flex pipe. I hope to try out a set soon on my car. Are these the XS Power headers and who would be interested in a set for around $200 shipped?

So are you selling the ones you bought? Or modifying, then selling?

Yes. I have a set if you need one to mess around with.

They use to sell for $97 shipped before discontinuing. If you could make some beastly revisions...I'd pay ASAP.

Those DO look like like XS headers..

They have 1 flex pipe which are like the XS headers..
All the quality headers have 1 flex pipe where the cheap e-bay ones have 2 flex pipes!

Either way, I have 10 sets I don't mind selling them as is or modifying them first. I have to figure out pricing since they were imported for me by another company. How many people would be interested in the 10 I have now as is?

guys. xs made their own. these were imported from japan with an xspower sticker on the box. no way he can sell them for less than he paid. 200 seems fair for these considering no one is making headers for less than that.

supply and demand guys

Never thought I'd say this, but I think I'd actually be down for a modded pair. I had no intention of buying headers. lol

What would you actually be modifying besides the flex pipe?

Richie, I had XS headers and upgraded to CTs. Definitely upgrade the flex pipe section, and if it is possible to do this without increasing the price too much, use thicker piping. The difference between the CTs and XSs is very noticeable. Because of the thicker piping of the CTs, they sound MUCH less "tinny" than the XSs.

I'd be willing to be either stock or modded XS headers. For modded ones at $200 shipped, that's a good price.
