i want to keep my car looking stock but i want mad power and i heard all over this forum that headers is your best buy and i want to do that but if i get headers would i need the downpipe with the exhuast muffler or can i keep my piping and my stock muffler on and gain the same power or close to it

 

Just get the headers. I put on OBX stainless steel headers and they really bring out the power in the car. Def worth the $200 bucks I paid for em. CAI is also a great mod with the headers.

 

Men you ave bosh platinum +4??? Stock sparks are 300% better and more expencive tnan Bosh ....

 

hmmmm...I guess thats why i get like 2-3% better mileage and less throttle hesitation. IMO better than the stock NGK's

 

you can notice 6-9 miles difference per tank?

 

GET RID OF THEM ASIP

 

Bosh Platinum are 3.99 dlls spark plugs i had them .
Stock NKG are 18 $ dll each Think about it .

 

English, does anyone speak it in this thread???

Damn, and I'm the young one and I can barely understand anyones response in this thread.

As to the first question, when you do headers, it comes with a different A-pipe. You have to use it as the new headers won't fit with the old A-Pipe. 95% of people out there would not be able to tell from looking at your car that it has been modified, even if they open the hood, most won't know.
And you don't need a new exhaust system to get the gain from headers. The stock TYpe S exhaust system is very free flowing, in fact most people notice little to no noticable power gains with an exhaust system, unless they are Forced Induction.

 

 

exhaust cut out > bigger exhaust

plus it will scare the hell out of the guy next to you

 

2-3% more mileage per gallon, not per tank. They work great for me and were an improvement over stock.

 

wait a sec, he's worried about his car "looking stock" and we're talking about exhaust pipes??? Who the fuck gets under the car to see how the pipes look?? Am I missin' somethin here? Get the headers and shuddup, you'll be amazed. Oh yeah, get a cold air intake too.

 

i think they meant the outlet on the exhaust, it's different when moded(sure you knew that) and looks aftermarket.

maybe i read it wrong but i think that was his point?

 

 

will the new a-pipe come with the headers so i have nothing to do with the old a-pipe right and i want it to look stock with the stock mufflers soo when im on the road its like a sleeper

 

yeah, all headers made come with the new collector, and the old one does not work with the new manifolds....

 

so im assuming you can get the headers to fit w/o full exhaust, if so would their be a slight sound change?

 

i didn't notice hardly anything when i put my b-pipe to my exhaust just more throatier(sp)

 

huuummmmmmmmmmmm

Get the headers, Comptech makes the only perfect fit direct bolt up header for the CL. There are other brands, but people have had fitament issue's with ALL of them except Comptech. If you keep an eye out in the Black Market forum here, and buy/sell forum at v6p.net, you'll come across some for a decent price.
