if the headers were on I didnt get to see them, the one in the honda booth had the hood closed and I was there for work and didnt have time to find someone to open it, sorry. I did see the jackson headers, and you want them, I assure you.

I guess they do not want to sell them. It seems to me that if you are marketing a product where there is concern about fitment then you should post some pics to relieve your buyers' concerns.

Not trying to dis them but i refuse to spend that kind of dough without verification other than "it will fit" and then i get it and "sorry no refunds".

This sucks!
For the benefit of everyone, including my own reputation. I left town on 10/27 and did not return until 11/3. I've been sick and didn't get out of bed until 11/6.

The only message I got from Leonine was on 10/29. Obviously since I was out of town I couldn't respond the question. My apologies.

I will post pictures when I have the chance to take some. Right now our car is in transit back from the SEMA show. To be honest I'm sure how good the pictures are going to be given the location of the header in the engine bay.

Finally, why would we want to mislead people about the fitment of the header? That doesn't make business sense. When we say that the piece fits the car, we mean that it fits. We've been doing nothing but Honda's for 25 years and we are more than capable of determining if a part fits correctly.

Regarding SEMA - there were a lot of very cool developments for the L15. While swapping a K-Series is possible, the work and budget involved is significant. Talking with the folks from Golden Eagle and Full Race I think we are going to see a 300whp L15 motor pretty soon.

I wounder if it would be more cost effective to do a swap, turbo or something or just keep the L engine and make it 300hp

The more I see of the L15 the more I like it. aside from coming power developments, the weight savings is pretty significant compared to a swap.

Dude, check http://twincamtech.stores.yahoo.net/mu07fithe.html There are pictures of the Mugen header right there.

I dig King, but Inlinefour is my online company of choice. Those guys know what's up and they are really nice to boot.

Hey, we'll have to meet up when you get them installed. I want to feel the before(my car) and after(your car) effects of the upgrades plus I'm curious as to how your car will sound.

you can never have too many pics of these bad boys IMO. As for them fitting, AJR, JHPUSA, and King said they will fit. I will gladly be the guinea pig on this one.
