Just received a set of XS power sport headers today. Fist impressions are good, the quality and workmanship are better than I expected for a $260 set of headers. I tried to buy a set of SRS headers but they where out of stock with no idea of when they would receive any more. I had read the good and the bad about XS so I called them and spoke with Rich, he was very helpful and the headers that arrived are exactly as he said (single flex joint with runner bend for the 6 speed mount and built similar to the Comptech) with no delays in shipping. I'll be swapping in a J35a3 this coming weeks with J32a2 cams, PnP heads milled .020 and PnP runners and IM with these headers. Hopefully the fit and function are equal to how good these headers look. I'll follow up once I get them installed.
Got the J35 in with the XS headers, The fit was perfect no issues with the headers at all! I've got to say for the money it's well worth it!
The J35A3 being lowered into its new home.
Even the hanger lined up as they should.
If i can remember I'll take some better pictures next time I get it up on a lift.....
In spite of the bad rap the these headers had the product that I got was just fine. I spoke with Rich before I ordered, he was a strait up. I placed the order on there site and recived them the day he said they would arrive. http://xs-power.com/acura-honda-nonturbo-headers-2.htm
They look great! How have they been so far, I am going to order some today for my 6 speed.
They have been great, couple things I've learned: 1. spray the supplied collector gaskets(at the head) with copper gasket sealant 2. once installed take a test drive bring the car up to temp, let it cool down for a few minutes (the time it takes to put it back up on stands) be careful re-tighten ever thing (glove recommended).
Where did you get the J32A2 cams? I've been looking for some but couldn't find any.
Found them on the BM, there out there just have to hunt around. Took me a couple months. Are you building an engine or just wanting a cam swap. You can almost find a complete engine or pair of heads for what you pay for cams. Good time for head work and runner porting with an extra parts while you still drive your TL around, since you have to pull the timing set & intake to swap cams its not that much more work for the head (milling is cheap & it gets the most out of the cams) swap
