Well, if it's anything like their Headers for the Acura CL-S, it will probably crack over time. Their headers have been known to crack.

Well, I took the plunge last night. I have not heard yet from the seller when mine will be shipped but that's expected since they probably won't see the sale until today. When I get it put on, I will also try to report my experience. I hope I didn't threw away $200 for nothing!!!

i installed mine on monday night. the construction was very nice, and it fit perfectly. they told me it was a copy of the fujitsubo, but the collector was slightly different (it was still clean, but not as gorgeous). i doubt that you would see it on a dyno. definitely worth 200 bucks!! i am very happy with it.

i have no dyno's, and the butt dyno is a joke. however, with every modification i do comes a 0-60 run about a day later. the dyno is nice, but i'm interested in real-world results. last night i did a 0-60 run in my usual spot, and it was .11 seconds quicker. could be my driving, or it could be the Y-pipe...or some of both.

i will get some pics up later this week, but they will be of the pipe on the car.

who cares what it looks like...the only exhaust your really gonna see is like the mufflers back to the y pipe....if this y pipe is that good and that cheap maybe we need to get a group buy going on these...150 shipped?

Ive had an OBX exhaust system and OBX header on my car for 3 years now, its good quality stuff. Granted, I still have my Accord for a few more months, but it's been good to me

And I just ordered mine 2 days ago . Oh well. Now this is a price that I think is respectable. When people are selling them for over $400 that is just plain crazy.
