Quick question, I know it's bolt on, but what is involved to install? How involved of a process is it to get to the existing downpipes and remove them? Are we talking afternoon DIY for the average Joe or day long project for the car guru (ie a shop for Joe)? Thanks.

Oh, and price pending, I'm in since I'll pass inspection. Curious...stage 2 is still theorhetical, but is it anticipated to pass emissions as well?

extremetls

i dont get it... i thought the the 3rd gen TL's headers were cast into the block, unlike the 2nd gen TL.

is this a header system like the one for the 2nd gen TL (1999-2003) or is it just a down pipe?

SouthernBoy

Have to ask. Since the '04 TL (and I'm quite certain, subsequent years) has no exhaust manifold, how did you come up with headers? Did you change the heads to ones with individual exhaust ports?

SNS Performance

Hold up. Mike is my mechanic. He said you couldnt get headers for the Accord?

Teh Jatt

and how about gain for 5AT

AcuraVic

Nitritiger, please post a pic of the header installed on your engine. I pic is worth a thousand questions...

SNS Performance

The V6s have a portion of the header cast into the head but they are changing the lower portion. So you know how cars normally have the exhaust ports right at the head and then the header bolts up to that? Well the V6s have like half the header cast into the head and they are modifying the rest. Now Marc's car hasnt been ported but the Accord in their has had a 8th of material ported so they are really wanting to dyno that. Looking good for you TL guys. Still not quite with my Sentra but getting close.

BATTLESHIP

very interested... pics, pics, pics!

special-ed

if we california guys can pass inspections with this, I'm down.

zax123

Can we change only the headers and leave the rest of our exhaust stock? Will we still see significant gains? If so, I might be interested... depends on price of course.

subinf

i'd want to see a picture of the headers installed first but i dont think we will be able to pass smog in CA. again, pictures will tell a lot more...location of cats (if retained), etc

zax123

Does anyone have an idea of what the cost might be? I am a newbie to headers, so I don't know what they usually cost. And where would the piping terminate?

JOES05tl

where's the pics, nitrotiger? About price, keep in mind this isnt just headers, but also 3 high flow cats. So probably $250.00 just on the cats included in the system, then whatever 'E-shift' will charge for everything else(r&d, fab, etc.). If its under $600.00 i have cash in hand.
Let's go with those pictures already, everyone is dying to get an idea of what the headers and cats look like and how they hook up- At least I am!
P.S.- Nitrotiger, thanks for introducing us(headers & me).

I wonder what this will do for the people with comptech s/c. If it adds another 20 or 25 hp, then we will be in the range of 315 or 320. That will be more than enough.

bklynpanman

that's what i'm thinking.. those would be beautiful #'s.. any more power than that is useless.. the wheel spin would probably be crazy..

ACCURATEin

As of right now, E Shift Performance can put any price on those headers because it is the only option available.

I would expect them to be in the range of $700-900.

The headers for the UA5 included more pieces to manufacture being there were 6 individual collectors.

The UA6 design only includes 2 oval collectors, 180 degree piping, and 3 high flow CATs, along with the flange and flex pipe.

21 WHP gain is substantial, and when mated along with the supercharger the TL will be something to note at the track. I can take some close up pictures of the blower and shaft in relation to where the exhaust collector is located. Its fairly close i believe, but should be able to come off without removing the blower unit.

zax123

$700-$900? ouch! Too rich for my blood. I guess I'm out...

ttliang

which header? it's built in, isn't it?


or you mean this. the exhaust manifold. sensors are gonna be OK???



or you mean this. the exhaust pipe.




i'm pretty confused at this point to tell you to truth.

ttliang

and in the middle diagram, exhaust manifold, there is a converter in the middle. what is he gonna do about that?

b15turbo

$700-900 for headers damn. I would just get the s/c

subinf

shit if they are hi flow cats its not going to be carb legal in ca.

bo0sting2mch

oh shit matawan?!...thats like 10 minutes away from me...gotta check this out...you guys should come out on sunday night there is going to be a pretty big meet supposely at freehold mall, evo ny, 240sx.com, to name a few, i wanna see this header.

SNS Performance

The B15 boys are going to be there reppin too.

xcelir8TL

Interested.

SNS Performance

I dont know what the price is going to be but dont forget that they will be Full Stainless Steel. The DC Sports header for the 350Z in stainless are like $800.

bklynpanman

keep me filled in on the meet.. i'm gonna head over

special-ed

hell, you spent 2k on a body kit that does nothing performance wise. What's an extra $900 that actually does haha?!

Question............With the headers come cats, is this replacing my Comptech catback system?

ttliang

cat....back

MichaelBenz

iTrader: (2)

No....it is the rest of the system in front of it.

AcuraTL2k4

They are selling full stainless steel headers for the 99-03TLs for 350 - 400. That includes the heads that are bolted on to the block.

Is there any kind of warranty and do you hear and resonance.

johnny--2k

holy mother of god...thats some impressive gains!

I might be interested, but would like to see some pics definitely!

Phesto

the cat is between the Cat Back and the Header

I'd definitely be interested... the S/C is out of my price range for now .. though I would love a s/c. I had the CT headers and loved them, but they didn't do much for torque. I like the gains I see in the torque dept. on the dyno... I paid $700 for USED comptech headers, but I knew their quality was superb. I have seen the results of cheaper Comptech rip-offs fall apart over time (i.e. OBX headers). I just wanna make sure the welds on these "headers" are excellent.

AcuraTL2k4

Stone headers were perfect and there was no problems with them. They were $400.

05TLTony

No pics yet?

ttliang

no answers no pics....disappointed. close enough for me. i was gonna go check it out with my digital camera. lol.

Nitrotiger

Ok guys he just took them off my car to make a jig for them. He going to make the production piece now. So the pics will be on as soon as he is finshed with the it. He has ordered the stainless steel and parts needed. When i was there today they were getting ready to make a few pair. Remember the comptech is a tublar style set up and the 04 tl head is not shape like the old cl/tl. Pics will prove it all when there up be patient guy's No one else has lifted a fingure to help us out And we have gains. So quality and testing was important to them. There alot of guy's who just take you money and run and these guy's are not like that. I will tell you with my stock set up back on all i have to say is I need my 21whp back
