whats everyone have in their cls6?

I have xs headers, injen cold air intake, 17" rims, 02 fog lamps with leds (mines 03), redline padded arm rest, jvc double din radio, and a test pipe.

What else should I get? Eventually Id like to get

My headlights retrofitted
Tsudo or comptech axle back mufflers
15" soundqubed sub with a twisted sounds amp
Weather tech rain guards

Any other parts worth the money or hp (besides crank pulley)
Does the p2r themal spacer give any good gains?

if you want more h/p you might want to ditch the heavy sub idea. I think the manifold thermal gasket is good. Port your runners, intake manifold and get a bigger throttle body and big intake. These engines love air.

Thermal spacer is going to give you unmeasurable tiny gains and do little. Everything still heats up under the hood. Those that claim, "The intake stays cool!" are touching it after 10 minutes of driving around. Drive around for an hour and it'll be just as hot as without it.

Yea I agree with Weez, I had a spacer and thermo gaskets and I could barely tell a difference in HP or TQ and the manifold did not stay cool. Still very hot to touch.

I think Headers is the best mod for for HP you can do before you get into FI like turbos or SC.

Light weight crank pully is a good one too. I was shocked when I took my OEM of how HEAVY it was!

I was trying to stay away from the pulley so I could do subs. I know add some weight but I love bass lol but if the pulley makes a significant difference I might settle.

You will feel a difference with a lightweight underdrive pulley.
And you will feel a difference with a system too.
Whats it going to be, quicker or slower ?

The reluctance toward the pulley for the reasons you've given, in addition to wanting a massive sub and the hardware to push it, doesn't seem to jive with your signature motto.

Anyway, how do you like your armrest cover? Worth it?

Ya I went with the lightweight crank pulley (oem size) but the arm rest is ok alot better than oem but probably not as cushiony as could be lol. Right now Im working on a 2.5" custom catback. Magnaflow glasspack for the resonator and then 2 magnaflow mufflers with stock tips

Im not 100% sure if its the same Id think so, but it wasn't bad just jack the car up take off the wheel pop off the plastic to the wheel well. Take off the two belts and use the starter blip method. Reinstall the lightweight and torque it down with Air tool

You can't torque something down with an air tool. You can torque it down with a torque wrench, though.

that bolt is a B to get off. I had a shop do mine and they had to torch it. I've never tried the blip method though.

I no longer have mine, but my signature has everything I had in it. Most of them were still on the CL when I traded it in (Headers/exhaust/suspension/brakes). Axle back Exhaust doesn't add much except for sound. I'd stick with the pulley of you're looking for more power.

Gnuts is right about the subwoofers. I can tell the weight difference after adding 2 JL-12 subs. If you add up the weight including appropriate box, wiring and amps, it adds over 100lbs.
