So I emailed XS the other day (because they don't have a phone number) and this is what i got. I copyed and pasted directly from my email:

"Why are your TL/Accord V6 headers STILL out of stock? I was told 45 days
back in July. Can someone fill me in as to whats going on?"

And this is what I got..

"the manufacture is changing locations in which there is a delay of making them, we probably wont see them for months from now. Thanks"

 

bummer.....

 

x2

 

I won't hold my breath. I'm better off anticipating waiting for someone to come up with their own headers.

 

hmm, sounds shady to me...45, 90, 120 days...yeah yeah yeah. I am actually thinking about getting headers now and on the hunt for some good quality headers. thanks for the update, their prices for our car was just ridiculously good

 

Better off waiting for DC to finish up their batch of headers.

 

Was there anything wrong with them? Better not be! lol, I've got a set on.

 

i guess i'll be going dc or obx...

 

i would go DC over obx or xs anyday.

if anything...try getting DC to make stainless headers for our cars.

 

any idea when that will occur? i thought the new batch was already out - no?

 

Let us know when they do. I'll be picking up a set.

 

ive got the first batch that was made, and they are awesome, ceramic coated ftw.

excelerate already has them, the posted it on the black market.

 

Actually, I had the REAL first batch of DC's when they first came out. Yeah the old two bolt flange. Those "ceramic coated" headers after 1 winter, were completely rusted and cracked in multiple spots, not to mention unbelievable resonance, very bad experience with the headers and DC customer service. Although I haven't heard much bad about the 3 bolt design, I would still get them coated by Jet Hot or HPC like I got my XS headers done. If you get it coated by them they warranty the coating unlike DC. Plus I have gone through two winters now with the HPC coated XS headers and they look as new as day 1.

 

i also to the two bolt flange and to no problems. i see rust on teh down pipe where it keeps hitting but thats bc the coating is off. other than that bought them used with 15k on them and ive put about 5k on them and no cracks/ resonance. this is my second winter with these and dont know about the previous owner.

 

dammit.. looks like im going with DC then, i guess its only right huh?

 

No I'm just waiting on another batch from the new DC Sports.

Well this is the second batch of the new DC Sports. Supposed to have it mid Jan.

Actually this is when AEM owned DC Sports. DC Sports was sold over a year ago and we're just waiting for the new DC to start stocking everything.

 

^^do you anticipate any pricing changes one way or the other on the newest batch?

 

Actually the price went down a little. If you look on our webstore you'll notice the header sells for less now.

 

Can i have a quote on the batch to be released in Jan? I have a 2nd Gen TL-S

 

Couple of my friends had bad experiences with DC, plus i would rather have SS over ceramic

Idk what im gonna end up buying now...

 

i hate how there is such a limited choice for us TL owners..

WE NEED GOOD QUALITY, DECENTLY PRICED SS HEADERS DAMNIT!!

 

anyway we can get stainless dc header's?

 

its limited but from your description its called CT Engineering bro... (aka comptech)

 

having an icebox and comptech axle-backs.. i think i know what comptech is, but thanks..

and $1000 is not a reasonable price... smart guy

 

but your paying for quality, the name, and know that it wont have any fitment issues.

 

of course.. and if i had the money, i would buy comptech headers in a heartbeat.. but i don't. i'm content with my xs headers.. i need the money more for coilovers anyways.. my shocks are going soon

 

Yea, since Comptech's are so reasonably priced

 

lol I'm selling some DC Sport headers soon. PM me

 

god this sucks... was hoping my brokeass college student self would be able to get some xs headers sometime soon with my xmas money.... SUUUUCKS

 

i will sell you mine if i ever get them off my car.. i was thinking about going back to stock anyways..

 

if youre serious lmk leotypes
i might take a bunch of stuff.

 

anyone know off hand what the outlet size on the XS jpipe is??

 

2.25" or 2.5"

 

yeaaa thats what i was figuring... was hoping it was 2.5 cause im lookignfor a high flow cat that will bolt up to my ATLP catback which has 2.5" piping.... i jus dont want a RT Cat cause it has small inlet /outlet sizes and will pretty much jus bottleneck the exhaust flow...

 

dammit bobo you got my hopes up

What other sites carry these headers?

 

Um what the fuck?

 

^i said that too
