New To Me 03 CL 6Speed

I am new to this but not new to hot rodding by any means. I purchased a 2003 Silver CL 6 speed a couple of weeks ago. So far I have installed all new rotors calipers pads ball joints and CAI. Just ordered new Moog Strut Rod bushings and Eibach lowering kit with springs and struts. I thought about CT headers but just can't justify the cost so I purchased a set of cheap crap headers off Ebay and I am going to have one of they guys in my shop modify them for free so they will fit. Whoo Hoo!!! Say hello to free welding and fittings/pipes!! I am leaning towards the ATLP Exhaust but I don't like the tips. Any other ideas?

Welcome! I like ATLP tip. They're alright. If you don't like it you can buy tip you want and weld on. Just my pics of the car?

I have 2 inhouse stainless companies that do nothing but weld stainless for us. I am going to start with the welding of some cheap headers to fit the 6 speed. $1000

Welcome! You seem to know a lot more about this car than most new guys do. Congrats! How many miles?

Ha. I have owned many cars. An 03 TL and 07 TL. No mods on them though. The CL has 123000 miles. I bought it in Ohio for $6200 and drove it back to Texas. When I got back I noticed that the front crossmember was rusted out right under where the ac drips. Got one on ebay for $59 bucks and whew what a pain to change but I am done. I will post pics soon. Also I will post pics of my true hoppy. My boat.

That is a possibility too. What cat should I go with? Looks like the Maganaflow is stock diameter. I figure it might be good to go bigger a little.
