Welcome! Intake, exhaust, headers are some things that most people do. I will be getting an intake soon, but I know that it changes the sound to the car.

Hey, your pretty close by. Do you go to Hunt's Point?

You have to edit your profile and add it to the signature area. I used to just copy and paste my signature after I responded, but that got old quick.

I don't know too many events in our area. Most of them are in Jersey or Long Island.

I will send you an e-mail with links for parts for the first gen CL's. Otherwise, there are always people selling parts here all the time.

Actually, the headers for the 1st Gen only get about 15 - 17 to the wheel. The 30HP to the wheel is for the CL-S and TL-S....

take out your corners (the gold things in the front bumper) with a screwdriver. make a ram air intake by removing your airbox and running a pipe from the gap in the bumper where your front right corner was to your engine. its the fastest way to get air to the engine with a hood. Then, you pay some guy at comptech to engineer a supercharger for the f22/f23/f30 engines. that should do it.

Yeah, thats what sucks about an automatic, your losing like 25% of your power to the wheels.. Wish they made the 3.0 with a 5 speed.
