XS Power, Manzo or Comptech Headers
I have an 03 Acura Cl 6 speed. Currently the only mods I have to the car is Eibach Springs/Struts and a JTC Customs Short Shifter.
I just purchased a set of the Magnaflow 14832 Mufflers, and plan to update all of the piping to 2.25" and deciding on whether i want to remove the resonator, or upgrade the resonator to Magnaflow and whether its worth it to upgrade the cat to a highflow.
I am in the process of purchasing some headers, as it appears I have 3 choices to choose from, XS Powers, Manzo, and Comptech. It appears the XS Powers run around $260 shipped, manzo around $120, and comptech $650. I live in TN, so CARB is not important.
What are your recommendations of these 3, as I would like to get the most power out of the headers as I can, One of the reasons I am upgrading the piping to 2.25" for the exhaust.
I will most likely be upgrading to a DIY 3.5" Cold Air Intake also.
Thanks

If you have sourced a set of CLS-6 Comptech headers for $650, then those would be the one's I'd get. Make sure they have the 'bend' in the rear manifold to allow for the rear motor mount bracket.
In the picture below:
Top set are for an automatic.
Bottom set are for the CLS-6.

i have a set of comptech and manzos for each of my cls6's the comptech flex pipe took a crap and needed to get a new one welded in... the manzo had to use better hardware and gaskets ... but other that the manzos have lasted 4-5 years without any issues..
i think any of those headers outside of a set of comptechs come out of the same factory ie manzo/srs/xspower/megan racing etc

Thanks, it appears the manzo are a little smaller, is this correct:
- 1.5" Inlet
- 2.25" outlet
- 2.5" COLLECTOR, 2.35" INLET
- ALL DIRECT BOLT-ON TO ANY AFTER-MARKET 2.25"-2.5" CAT BACK

Just an FYI.
If you go with either the Manzo or XS-P headers, the consensus is to not use the nut and bolt hardware provided from China.
It is advisable to get Grade 8 nuts and bolts from a local hardware store.
Review the thread below if you already have not; especially, post #22.

XS Power use to be $120 shipped when I bought them.
Also, don't use the gasket they include. Buy new ones made by a reputable company. The ones included are thin and tend to leak. Gaskets are cheap, so it's worth getting quality ones.
