You should start to feel it right away. I hadn't driven more than a mile before I could feel mine.

At least this was my experience, others may disagree.

As you can see from Comptechs dyno here: http://www.comptechusa.com/images/dyno/2000CLSplot.pdf

You won't notice any power gains until 5000+ RPMs.. But you should be able to feel it pulling much stronger in the upper RPMs..

What brand of headers did you purchase ?

disconnect your battery (if you know your CD code) to reflash your ECU

It takes a few days for the computer to adjust to the new headers. You can reset your ECU to speed up the process by pulling the negative terminal on the battery and leaving it off for about 20 mins.
