Best Mod for under 250...

I am new to this CL world... to tell you the truth I thought it was non-existent... but I found it. Ok, back to the original idea.

I have a 1997 3.0CL with AEM short ram, about to get cold air.
A full custom 2.5in cat back exhaust with a TopSpeed muffler.
And soon to be put on Alternater pulley (unorthodox).

I have no job, so what will be the best next performance MOD for under 250... oh, and please don't say crank pulley, cause I already know that. I just wanna know if there is anything else in this world. Thanks alot.

Seriously, if you already have the $250, then save another $75 and get OBX headers (or buy them used).

You can install them yourself with little difficulty, and the power increase is DEFINITELY noticeable!


If the mod MUST be under $250, then I recommend a high-flow cat to complete your exhaust.

stickers man. rule of thumb, the bigger the sticker the bigger the gains.




on a serious note, i would save up a little bit more and get some obx headers, one of the best bang for the buck mods possible

Good call on the floor mats, they are functional HP. Stickers just add it without adding anything to the utility of the car. Floor mats you use every time your in the car!

I have a 3.0CL... AEM don't make pulleys for my car... but Unorthodox does... plus CompTech is the only company I found that makes headers... but they want 1,000.00... Oh, and the spark plugs is a good idea. But I rather get payless shoes.

buy the OBX headers for the accord V6 those will "almost" fit your 3.0 do a search for OBX headers and there will be a wealth of knowledge for you to peruse, very helpful and insiteful.

DeadLeg,

Buy a suit at thew Men's Wearhouse for $169, then go get some shoes, and a tie with a shirt for around $250. Then go on some interviews for a job - look at it as an investment - Spend $250 now, earn mucho looto later!

Then you can buy all the mods you want, and yes, start with the headers - OBX style baby!
