intake

I am new to this car. I've never worked with Honda's before. I have a 98 CL 3.0. Its kinda slow but I see it has potential. First I want to start with a few bolt-ons. I cant find a cold air intake for this car. I found some short rams but thats it. Does anyone know of a good intake system for this car? Also the car already has 2.5 in exaust. So Im sure all I need to open up the airflow is put a new muffler on it.
Does anyone have advise on the intake or exaust for my car, or know of any mods that arent expensive to help this car move quiker?
Also I noticed my motor is the same one in the Accord V6 (late 90's). Can I use engine mods built for the Accord on my car?
I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

ull find all the info you need on the noob guide. But just incase you cant find it.

CAI- same as 98-02 accord V6

headers- either comptech or ssautochromes V6

Pulleys- unorthodox racing pulleys (you can find those on this forum in the black market then go to sponsored sales you find them there)

exhaust- you can 2.5" pipe it the whole way or 2.25 the rear end b/c the car comes with a 2.25 all the way to the rear wheel which then becomes to a 1.75 I believe.

spark plugs- ngk's iridiums in my opinion
sparkplug wired- ngk or mag.

mufflers- (your taste) good sound, I say 1486 (i think) magnaflow with a 18" resonator or 22".

thats all i can think about for bolt ons......

And for the headers does anyone know of some good ones that are not $1000 for comptech? I heard OBX were shitty. Anymore advise? And if I cant find some for my CL what years of the Accord can I search for?
