i have a 2001 cl s i just put in an intake and im looking to make my car as fast as possible for under 500. (not with nitros)

i read headers are good but are they the best.
what do you think id the best mod? brand? and where i could get it.
thanks

 

Headers will definetly open up the exhuas ta lot ore... the CL responds very good to headers


i suggest XS power headers. there cheap and get the job done...

 

yea xs headers is the way to go. espically for the money. cheap and good results. better sound and more power. also you could think about getting a crank pulley for some more power. but definately go with headers first. you can search for other topics about these headers and find out what other people think about them also

 

depends if you're doing the work yourself, or if you're paying a shop to do it.

If you can do the work yourself, you'll save more money, thus leaving more money for mods

Where mods get expensive is in installation labor.

the intake/headers/exhaust combo always work well.

 

fast? go with a 3.5 conversion with all the bolt ons you can put on...

The list is huge.

but you'll be spending well over 500 if you want it to be fast. Sorry bud.

 

where could i find those headers?

 

ebay maaan

http://stores.ebay.com/XS-POWER-STOR...QQftidZ2QQtZkm
here's the link to the store

 

woah now! so your telling me that comptech makes headers that are 1200 bucks and these guys make some for 150? wow... how bad/good are they?

 

They are great. Search on it, you'll see.

 

I did not realize that they were that cheap, I think I'm going to buy the right now.

 

go for it; you won't regret it

 

how do these affect a 2001 cl-p hp wise, and dose it still pass an emissions test?Most posts i've seen about headers is geared to a type s gaining 30 hp(at the wheels?). I know if i wanted to go fast i shoulda started w/ a type s, but it's more of curriosity, as i wouldnt have ever paid 1200 dollars for headers, but 150, i could see doing that when i got some cash lying around.

 

your answer...

My Dyno, CL-P @ 206 whp

with headers, intake, UniChip, deleted mufflers, and UR underdrive crank pulley, I did the math and with all that it gave me an extra 50 ponies from 225 hp stock.

Now I have (with what I dynoed with)

-RT high flow cat
-custom cat catback
-Mugen cooling mods
-Outlaw Engineering spacers
-ported Type-S Intake IM

the cooling mods don't really add HP, they keep it from running away from heat soaking so HP isn't lost.

(with all that I have no idea but I'd assume 15-30 hp extra. only a dyno would tell me though.)

-Engine being converted to a Type-S 3.5 soon

 

i bought the xs power headers just had them installed and its pretty good. I feel i got more out of the intake then the mufflers but i could definitely be wrong. either way i spend 200 on a spoiler 100 on an intake and 150 on headers plus 250 for installation and my cl-s is better than ever. Thanks for your help.

 

Legend brake calipers? Cheap, and cant have enough stopping power.

 

I noticed that on ebay the engine that is pictured is a 3.0? Do the headers still fit the 3.2 CL-S?

 

yes thats the pic of the accord vtech you will probably get a box that that says accord on it as well

 

^ Okay, but are they universal? Am I supposed to be getting a box that says 3.2 CL - S?

 

Nope, box says Accord, but the headers are for all acura and honda v6s. Just make sure to order the 6spd ones if you have a 6spd! Do a search for XS Power Headers and you will find way more info than you could possible need.

 

Alright, thanks.
