icebox

I don't want to spend to much on mods... just would like to know a couple of simple things I could put on my cls-6 to make it a bit more powerful... does the comptech icebox by itself makes a bit of a difference... or do I really need headers???

Yea it just makes your car pull harder and its all the way through to red line, the headers make your car pull really hard, but only for 5k-7krpms so it depends on how ofter you go above 5krpms

does the icebox alone changes the sound a lot?

Is an icebox easy to install?

it allows cooler, and more air to the engine which produces more power.

maybe a stupid question but using it in very cold canada winter, can it be a problem??? Can the air ever be too cold or the colder the better?

I don't think it has that much of an affect that changing from a stock airbox to an icebox will make the air too cold to drive if it wasn't b4 the mod. If that's even possible for it to be too cold.
