Exhausts wont do much for you if you have the new CL's. Something about the piping being too good already 
Headers are giving people outputs of 20-32hp gains. CAI also would do something for you...currently AEM doesn't make one yet...but say its coming out. There are other alternatives though..check the forums.

Yes K&N has a filter but wont do much. If you just want pure HP one answer headers. go to www.acura-tl.com should have them for the lowest price. if you don't feel like coughing up 1000 then just get a Cold Air Intake (CAI)

comptech headers are going for $1159.00 and around $200 to get installed by a local Acura dealer..then you return within a couple of weeks to get them retorqued...For performance I wouldn't go anylarger than 18" wheels but if looks is what you're going for then I'm sure you can fit 19's possibly 20's with 35 series tires but then your ride will be rougher than a Mustang GT

I think I have seen 19's on a CL-S. Pretty big IMO...I would stick with 18s. The cold air intake would get you started on your way if you aren't willing to buy the headers. Also, the intake would give your car a mean growl

CAI's run from 180 and up I believe. No more than 290 IMO. The installation is easy and you should be able to do it yourself.

first where's ft meade . Im in northern VA.
prices for headers are 1015 from www.acura-tl.com the tl and the cl , cl-S comptech parts are interchangeable.
Prices for install from dealers around here are about 500-600 but if you go to Vertex (can't advertise this shop enough) they'll charge you around 300 and they worked on 7 or more cars from this fourm.
Wheels I don't know much about but JB has 19's so Im sure you will be okay w/ anything smaller than 19. 20's might be a little too big imo.
