pullies...what good is a mod if its not in your car
ooorrr you could buy the comptech strut bar and install both yourself. 2nd option is better and more fun imo. working on your own car is fun and saves you money

do you need more handling or low end speed? IT really depends on your driving style. I would do the pullies just because they need someone with experience to install them. The Strut bar you can do yourself in 15 mins. You already have the pullies too...

Agree with installing the pullies. The crank pulley is the only one that gives any gains the P/S and Alternator pulley is mostly for looks.

The strut bar doesn't do much. I have the Neuspeed strut bar and could not tell it made much of a difference.

You should be able to get all three of the pullies installed for less than $150.

Do the pulleys. Save some more and get the strut bar in a couple months.

I agree with Darrinb. The strut bar did nothing as far as I can tell. Remember, the CLS already has a strut bar. Pullies all the way!

bro once again i dont know why you dont install what you have.. its your choice... but the catback.. unless your gonna SC or Turbo no need to spend the dough on that... Better off with just the axlebacks... My as other have said, install what you have, and buy the other mods later...

if you have a clp you might see a difference in a cat back, but the cls is more free flowing already.

If you have a CLS, it already comes with a free flowing exhaust.... Dyno gains have said to be 2-4 hp at the most.. Mostly for sounds, but on the other hand if you are SC'd or turbo, now the catback makes much more sense.....
