Headers......

Ok...some people say that It is not a good mod unless you have a lot of power already but...my friend just got one for his ford escort GT....we were even before....now he can take me with no problem after he installed the header. Man...Im starting to get behind everyone in my group.....one has the escort GT, one has a prelude, one has a 94 civic hatchback with a B16a engine, one has an accord and he's putting turbo, the other one has a ford Probe GT V6....I think I have to do something.....

The are a good mod and no you do not need alot of power to get aftermarket headers. The thing is on the CL you do not get a huge improvemnt over stock because the stock exhaust manifold and down pipe are allready 4-2-1. I suggest you get all the bolt ons (inatke, headers and exahaust) as your firsts performance mods. Good luck

The flywheel was THE most noticeable gain I had with my CL.

Taking 10lbs out of your drivetrain is a hell of an improvement.

Very expensive mod. Do it when you have your clutch redone and save some $'s
