way to keep my car a sleeper
dont want n20 or nitrous. dont wanna risk that. but i mean i wanna beef up the car a little but make it sound really close to stock. i dont want exhaust or headers, too loud, and i think it wouldnt be right on my car. maybe an intake, as that would only be loud at higher rpm's. but what about a chip or anything else that would make me stand out from all the other stock cl-s's preformance wise.
thanks
btw-i have an 03 cl-s 5at

You don't leave alot of options open .. I can tell the sound of an AEM intake a mile away. Might be better off with an icebox. Headers change the sound of the car less than intake does .. plus they add alot of power. I'd go CT icebox and headers.
and I know you said no nitrous .. but a properly installed NX wet kit 50 shot really has no danger. The only dangerous thing about spraying nitrous is if you lean out .. the wet kit insures proper nitrous\fuel mixture.

lol you keep the same motor with the 3.5L upgrade .. if I recall its a crank, rod, piston, and head swap? correct me if I'm wrong.
but your best bet for quietness is CT icebox, and CT headers. You wouldn't notice the sound of my CT headers unless you had them and knew what they sounded like. But people would notice the sound of the AEM intake. I've heard the icebox is alot quieter.

As for pics of the icebox .. I have an AEM can't help you there. Search, or try www.comptechusa.com

wherever it would sound the loudest. i mean, im not totally sure i even wanna do headers, as that is gonna prob cost me well over a grand. icebox i might consider, but i know that wont do much for performance wise.
thanks for everyones help so far.

visual and sound are important to me. i want to look and sound stock. i know its a hard for that to happen but a chip and maybe the icebox would be a perfect combo.
so whats the problem with this chip. i dont feel like reading 500 pages of stuff, if someone could explain in brief.

for a quiet but stealthy quiet ride try:
icebox - comptech(250)
headers - stone(400), obx(300), or comptech(1000)
AEM or Unorthadox crank pulley - (depends on where purchased)
Prices are for parts only and are just rough estimates....
I like a quiet but powerfull car also (easier to pick up teenage girls from their parents house at 2 AM)

CT Icebox sounds and looks stock. Go that route -- you'll have more hp/torque thru the band versus stock.
Headers are more $$$ and only impact the high revs, actually losing HP down low.
Get both if you have the moola.

yeah I don't feel like reading about the chip either, but since I don't see anyone running around buying one I'm assuming there is no chip as of yet.
As for the sound clip of the headers .. its hard to tell you where I could take a clip that it would sound the loudest. Because it really hasn't changed. I still just hear my intake. If anything, it might've changed the sound of the stock exhaust but I'm telling you NO ONE would notice .. unless they had a CL with headers and knew the tone.
