I saw that. Good mileage too. Unfortunately no navi = not interested. If i'm gonna take the step up to a newer CL-S i'm gonna do it 100% right this time.

Yea, I agree. I realized my white/parchment No Navi 6 speed was not quite right, and sold it for my current anthracite 6MT Navi, no regrets.
But this one on ebay, even with No Navi is a rare bird.

A month after I purchased my '02 CL-S there was a brand new White on Black 6-speed w/navi with Comptech Icebox, Headers, and Exhaust already installed just sitting at the dealership. 14 miles on the odometer.

Carmax in NY area had one not too long ago....white with black 6MT and navi....22900 was the asking price w/near 30k miles i think...white and black 6MT with navi = 8 made (i think)...that's the reason I will settle for a different color...

Sounds about right for the mileage. Was it supercharged/headers/exhaust/icebox all by Comptech?

I checked and in 2003 there were 820 6-speed CL type S -Navi's built. 137 were Anthracite / Ebony. There were 54 White/Parchment and only 15 White/Ebony. You are right -- rare birds indeed!

correct me if I'm wrong, but 260 + 90 = 350. what's the whp of the stock S motor? even if it's as low as 225, 90-100 more = near 330 then add the headers and intake...point is, it's probably near 330 whp.

The car has not been dynoed, but the S/C is rated by Comptech 40-60 HP at sea level at the wheels. The Intake adds 10HP (again Comptech stats). Headers and exhaust add an additional 10-15 percent ( per Comptech) so,

Minimum HP would be

260 + 40 + 10 =310 HP

310 HP X 10 percent would be 341HP

Max HP would be 260+ 60 +10 = 330HP

330 HP X 15 percent = 379 HP

Again the car has not been dynoed and up here in the thin air it won't come close to the sea level numbers provided by Comptech. They are estimates, but conservative ones.

Here are links to the Comptech dyno tests of their products on CL-S 6 Speed

First one is just headers and exhaust. Shows max increase of 32 HP at the wheels.

http://www.comptechusa.com/images/dyno/2000CLSplot.pdf

This one is ice box and supercharger only. It shows a max increase of 64 HP at the wheels.

http://www.comptechusa.com/images/dy...cls6spd_sc.pdf

They do not have a dyno test with all 4 components. But if you add 260 + 32 + 64, that's 356 minimum at the fly (because the 260 rating is at the fly and the other two are at the wheel.)

Hope these links are helpful!

BTW parts cost for S/C is $4500 plus shipping and installation.

Headers part cost is $1249 plus ship & install

Exhaust is $1095 for the stainless catback system plus ship & install

Intake is $280 plus install

Total parts cost w/o shipping and installation is $7124.00 I don't know what Comptech certified installers labor rates are like elsewhere, but ours is $115 /hour.

wait.. so $12,000 - $7124 = $4876 on shipping and installation??? Assuming you picked up all these parts, $4876 / $115 = 42.4 hours?? takes you THAT long to install all these parts?? umm hard to believe

Gotta love what stuff costs when you buy it through a new car dealership! Those figures don't include any profit on the parts. If they cost $7,000 then he probably got charged $9,000 for them. He wanted it done to his new car and we quoted him the price for all of it and he wrote a check. Just how it works. But believe me, he paid $12,000 to get it all done. And the good news is that it was all done by the best Comptech installer in the West. Just ask the guys at Comptech! And it doesn't void the warranty and Comptech stuff has 4 year warranty

Those aren't conservative estimates. Are you running the high boost pulley? A 6-speed with the HBP + Headers + Exhaust should make 330whp

im sorry, but you would have to be straight retarded to pay $2500 for ANY exhaust. besides... its goes for a lot less than half that on the comptech website and even less on other sites.

Power gains dont work like that, they dont have a cumulative effect. All of the Comptech mods (SC + I/H/E/B-pipe) will put down pretty close to 300whp/260wtq. Look in the dyno section for real world power results from the SC.

Aftermarket manufacturers of speed parts are well known for inflating dyno numbers to make their products look better than they are.

Back on topic; I dont like the CL in white as much as silver or black. If they had gone with a more mettalic white it wouldnt look so bad, but to me the white looks a little like a rolling refridgerator.
