This will definitely add tons of torque and 1 full hp.

The most cost effective things you can do are:

Intake ~ $250
UR Pulleys ~ $300
Headers ~ $600

No man. It's the trailer hitch.

I would go with headers. Makes a noticable difference. Then the Icebox.

Sorry to hi-jack, but I thought the pulleys don't give any gains? I read somewhere on here that they're merely for show?

-And Sex, apparently, headers are a MUST.

The AEM pulleys are all for show. The UR pulleys definitely add power,

Steve we keep agreeing on a lot of these threads. The UR pulleys actually add hp; for the 3.2 CL-S they added 13 hp and 9 ft/lbs tq. See this link: http://unorthodoxracing.com/dyno_acura%20type_s.html

I had (have) the UR pulleys and they are a great mod. The car revs smoother and quicker. After the blower I can't tell ya if they really add any additional HP but b/f the S/C they were a great mod.

I'd say headers should be your first mod. The intake is probably a better bang-for-the-buck but the rush you get from an additional 30whp on the headers is very cool.

Hey Veeral what about the Alpha Werks Headers? They are great mod and offer high hp outputs and great quality. See my signature for a link.
