I'd do some serious homework..Usually, within reason,
you get what you pay for..Exhaust, intake, headers, Springs..
gutsy type car stuff is going to go through a lot of heat, stress etc..
It ain't the pretty chrome or fancy adds...the quality of the metal
and it's properties are very important down the road plus..you pay
for it but...quality brand name parts...Leading MFG will stand behind
their products should you have any problems... Some of these "knock off"
brands...who knows...There are different grades of aluminum that is
heat treated etc...if the supplier gets metal from 3rd world countries...
the metal is going to crap out on you....
yeah, CT, HKS, Greddy etc. are a bit pricey but..you'll get quality material...

I agree with the above... why cheap out now?

Spend the few hundred on the HKS axle-back system that was made for the CL or spend a little more for the Comptech exhausts. The gains aren't much, but the sounds and the looks are worth it. Plus, you know you'll be getting quality parts made for the CL, so you won't have to worry about problems down the road.
