I just read here that the v-afc doesn't really add anything. The Icebox is a type/brand of intake.

Start with CAI and Headers and you will add some FREE 20% HP gain!.. That is peak gain, but torque can jump from 175lbft at the wheel to 190-195 lbft at the wheels.. Not bad for an Auto CLS!

There's 1 or 2 turbocharged CLs running around too, but that's a custom job. There's also the 3.5 Liter upgrade...

how much is the supercharger for the auto? Also are the headers worth buying. 30 hp doesnt sound like a lot. What do you think the 0-60 time improvement is with just headers?It sounds the same for the CAI. Also how much is the 3.5 litre upgrade and is it a BIG job to do?

performance wise headers are the best bang for your buck, i got the obx's for under 400 shipped, they make the car a whole new car past 5k on the tach

springs really give your car a sweet look, they are a must w/ the stock 4x4 height

my fav mod is the headers though

Damn... if 30HP from a header don't sound like a lot of gain to you, what kind of car did you have before this??!?!

Headers are definitely the way to go if you want some power with a bolt-on... either the Comptech's or OBX headers will do you fine

From there I think everyone already covered the major engine mods. You can also check out the Tuner's Guide which has some information: http://www.acura-cl.com/tunersguide/
