I was headed to the parental units' house this morning, to do some laundry, and the FED EX truck was leaving, and i knew that was what i was waiting for. Sure enough, my new headers were there! Install was a breeze, basically what the write up in the DIY section said. My butt-dyno is seriously worn out, or just used to abuse. w/ the 3 other performance vehicles i own, (96 gsxr srad 750, 91 eclipse gsx @ 489 AWHP! and my absolute baby, my 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi w/koeneggsegg SC and hamann MS tuning and about a thousand other parts, Liquid Metallic Silver w/ red interior) i have to say that i was expecting alot more...

Be not disapointed though. From what i can tell, without modern mechanical diagnostic machines, there is a noticible power gain, im just a sucker for MORE! I would reccommend this to anybody willing to spend $90 on a set of headers.

 

are they reliable though?....

 

This is day 1 (something like 35 mile test), yeah, so far, even w/ stock bolts from the kit, im tentavily waiting though, more expensive mods have done worse...

 

Id suggest searching. I have near 30k on mine trouble free, many many CL guys have them as well with out issues

 

same here i got about 30k+ on mine.. they were on my 99 3.0 cl first then i put them on my tl-s. had them for about 3 years now with no problems. they are the 6 speed cl-s version. tho i didnt notice much of a difference till i disconnected my battery and reset the ecu.

 

10k+ here, can't complain. Best bang for the buck.

 

it was a rhetorical question...

 

That would require a question mark. lol.

 

How do you reset the ecu????

 

I am selling Brand New XS Headers for 100$ on Black Market. who ever wants it, PM me ..

 

By disconnecting the battery for 15 min or so or by pulling the clock backup fuse for 15 min or so

 

Excellent...Mouha, Mouha hahahahahaaha!

 

hey fsttyms1, i was trying to install the xs headers last weekend (you have to forgive me im a huge newb when it comes to the engine...and most other shit) i didnt have to much trouble taking off the pipe with the 3 tubes...not sure what thats called...in the front of the engine, but i wasnt sure how to get to the back one, i got underneath the car and finally saw what hanger everyone was talking about (was pretty excited to see it for myself) and it seems i can take care of everything underneath, the only problem seems to be that pipe in the rear of the engine....how the hell am i supposed to get back there, with a very long extension from the bottom or from the top? I cut the install short cuz of time constraints...but i plan to get back to it as soon as i can.

 

You can reach the bolts from the top...i did it, its pretty simple, you just have to feel where the bolts are and maybe get a flash light to help you see...good luck!

 

Get a blanket and lay on your motor. You can access the 5 manifold to head bolts from the top.
