Good find! $129 after shipping, not too shabby. I'll have to order a new set soon, seeing as one of the collector pipes on the rear header cracked on me.

They're still on Ebay, i think you just have to search for Accord headers rather than TL. Cause aren't they listed for Accords? Unless they completely took it off ebay...

Yeah I believe I've been the only person with any problems from the XS headers. The reason mine cracked though was because I disconnected the hanger by the flex pipe to eliminate a nasty resonance. That put too much stress on the header pipes. That's all fixed now, so I just need to replace the rear collector.

Probly do that in a couple weeks

I just got mine installed over the weekend. I notice a little bit of a gain, a lot more resonance than I expected. The install was very easy, could probably be done in an hour and a half to two hours....that is if the bolts and nuts all came off easily haha....all in all probably took me like 12 hours, a bulk of which was from 2 bolts

As far as I know no leaks...I checked pretty thoroughly too, even using an incense to see how the smoke would blow.

I didn't take any pictures, but if anyone needs a detailed step by step let me know, it was suprisingly pretty simple

and oh....anyone else check out the rest of the site? They have cat backs and pulleys for our cars.....anyone ever try anything out? Pulley's are only $25

From outside the car, no....but inside, it sounds like a huge exhaust leak which is why I went to the extent of burning an incense and seeing if the smoke was blown from where the seals were. its really not toooooo bad...its most noticeable when you gas it hard, but my intake overpowers the hissing. only other thing I noticed it a groaning noise on cold starts around 2000k

I got my order today, went to go open the box and the packaging says '3.0l accord v6' instead of 3.2. I know the auction is for the acura v6 too, did i get the wrong ones or the right ones?

Talking Acura TL Headers

You can buy from Ebay.com cheap as $50.00+shipping. Just type in "98- 02 honda accord v6 headers" and you'll see. The new header have 2 flex end. . This will help the header from cracking or break. Good luck

Wonder why they're getting cheaper? Is it because they're trying to get rid or it cause they're not making anymore?

Hopefully its not because they're taking shortcuts with materials/workmanship.

I think their is some internal problems in the company and someone is steeling there ideas and started his own thing without anyone knowing....its a conspiracy, the company has degraded into sectarian violence and are combating with lowering prices....but thats just my opinion....
