Exclamation Updates on non-Comptech Headers.

http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/004011.html


Here are some clips of it:

I called Kamikaze Performance Products since it was mentioned that they offer V6 headers. They said they are working on them but it will be *at least* six months before they are ready. Nothing is available now.

I also called WarpSpeedPerformance and they said they were *weeks* away from having V6 headers completed. The gentleman said their design is different than Comptech's and that it will offer even greater performance gains. He said they may offer it in two types of steel (309 and 409??) to have two different price points/qualities. They'll have pictures up on their web site in a couple weeks. He also said they were aiming for a price between $700-$800(!).

Hey, that's my quote up there!

The headers from WarpSpeed aren't finished so there's no way of knowing what gains they'll have yet. The guy I spoke to was confident that their design would offer more hp than Comptech's. He can say anything he wants though until the final product is actually dyno tested.

I know many 3rd gen maxima owners who have the warp speed Y-pipe, and are extremely satisfied. It is much cheaper than the one offered by Cattman, which tends to rub sway bars, and has a poor reputation for customer service. Furthermore, the Wspeed y-pipe makes 6 more hp than the more expensive cattman pipe. The only difference is in the type of stainless steel used on the pipe. And this may make a difference, about 30 years down the road...

Here it is:
http://www.warpspeedperformance.com

Under the Upcoming Products section is the blurb for the Accord V6 headers (which work for the TL/CL).

Atomix: That's good to hear that Maxima owners are happy with WarpSpeed's products. Gives them a little more credibility since I don't know much about them. The guy did mention some differences in the steel types so maybe that’s what will give them the ability to undercut the competition's price.
