They're from the US and considerably cheaper from there....Haven't checked lately but I think they were only either £400 or maybe even $400~ . I think occasionally some people had the odd issue with the flexi area cracking. Probably best to just do a search on NSXPRIME on Topspeed Headers. I was going to buy a set a couple of years ago but my fitment was for a 95 onwards which they didn't have in stock in the US anywhere. Eventually I just went OEM for the later ones.....knew there would be no issue with fitment and still have heatshields etc.

I have just recieved as set of these from the states. There seemed to have been a bit of a supply problem for a couple of months with the pre-95 fitment but ok now. I paid $750 including carriage and the fedex charge was £42 in the UK, so just over £500 all in. I ordered from a company on ebay with the user name a2rinc and they arrived very promptly and well packed. Top speed are listing them on ebay directly at the moment, they are a little cheaper for the parts but I thonk there carriage made them more expensive when I got a quote.

From my understanding all 3.0 uk cars require pre-95 headers from the states!

Hope that helps

I got my last replacement set for my NA1 direct from the States at a fraction of the cost. Present set on the car 2 years + (ish) without any problems. Any competent fitter can manage the job and sometimes you can save a few quid from the states even with consideration of freight costs. You might get the welded joints checked up before fitting which is common sense. I wonder if the flexi wear may be a UK weather/corrosion problem as my present and previous sets never gave up on the flexi joint. Anyway my advice is wherever you get them from, just get them, highly recommended mod.

i have had these fitted on mine since 2007 with no issues (obviously touching wood now since I said that!!!) I did put up a thread with pics, but alas looks like it's been lost in various updates....

Might not be as pretty or efficient as Othts, but anything is better than oem boat anchors. Honda designed soo many parts the wrong way around they must have had teams dedicated to incorporating faults.

If the flexible joint goes you can replace for £ 100.00 each or less so no biggie.

Ps if you need adapters that will bump up the price!!!

I have a brand new pair of these to fit 91 for sale cheap, we tried to fit them but it was beyond us, needed the engine mount rocking back for the front tho clear. I picked them up for 300 and will let them go for 200 if anyone's interested pm me. Apologies for the hijack.
