OBX headers on '03 cls

Just wondering who's got the OBX headers on '03 cl type s. i wasn't sure what the power change was like for the type s versus the normal cl. any info at all would be helpful, i'm thinking about getting some, but if it's a smaller increase for the type s, i might reconsider. also, any links to cheap sales would be great if you have one. thanks.

hope your CLS is automatic, cos OBX doesn't fit 6 speed.

6-speed has a slightly different design and OBX only designed their headers for the auto. Cheaper for them that way.....

Comptech does make 6-speed headers though.. so you'd have to go that route to get headers....

after having the headers installed the car was flying...couple weeks later i thought the car was way underperforming...after not being able to pull on a legend after 110mph i knew something was up...figured i would replace the obx gaskets with my original oem ones...after getting back on the road my power woes are gone...my guess is the obx gaskets were leaking as there was black residue around teh holes....now im just pissed i could of saved myself $100 for the original install after doing this reinstall by myself
