Rims are nice, but the exhaust is a little too big. How noisy is your exhaust?

Do you have an audio system in your ride?

the exhaust isnt noisy at all I havent put a system in I think I am tired of spending money for now...... ok not tired any more

Why does it look like the pipes are installed upside down? should there be more muffler pelow than above also wouldn't it fit inot the stock cut out better? How hard is it to install new exhaust is it some thing I could do with the help of a friend?

</font>
Im not sure how hard it really is but when I was watchin the dude put mine onit looked easy (but that dosent mean it is. I assume that if you and your friend are mech. inclined it wont be to hard. I will look at the adjustments to see if it can move up some. I already have to fix the left one its to low.

Man, I must have been on crack when I first looked at your photos. That spoiler is definately from the factory. I never liked it before but on your car it looks great - great work on the car. Also, I wanted to ask how much a diff the headers make? Totally noticeable? Worth the money - how much were they? Lastly, do they cause any harm or increased maint. to the rest of the engine/car. Thanks!

Thx for the compliment, As far as the headers the diff is night and day. your buttom edn acceleration will improve drastically I do think its a $$$$$$ worthy mod since it gives you the opp to get up there in the class with some of the other sports sedans and stay cheaper than them even after a 1k mod.I say go for it.

Hey man,

Rims look good, but I wouldn't put them on my car because of the weight(the car is heavy enough to begin with).

Love the pipes!!! Are they the ones for the V6 Accord? Did they bolt right on? Cuz I don't see anything for the Type-S but the Comptech. I've been looking for a cat-back for a while now. Also, how do you like the AEM CAI? Can you feel the difference?

ok hold on, i lied just a bit, i might consider the X5, 330, AllroadQuatro, CLK and the boxter but trust me i would end up with the CL cause of expenses that the above cars come with.

Also, your car would be faster, sportier, and more luxuriuosly loaded..ok fuk it, yeah i'l take your car over these cars.!

You seem to forget. Its my money. I know I could have gotten any of those cars but I liked this one. I have 3 cars and Im bout to get a sport ute so I can not drive mine as much. the ammount of time you spent creating that list lets me know that you are not happy and you settled for a CL-S I didnt settle I got what I want. Have fun with your "settle fors" while I emjoy my $40k CL-S

Dude no hard feelings. I test drove the S4 and fell in love with the drive of the car but I didnt like the look or the lack of leg room for a 4 door car. I wasnt ready to get a bimmer cause I want an M5 or an X5. and I dont want a benz till I get a garage (apr 30)
anywho its all good.

Well originality is what you're goin for you got it. congrats.

I'm not a terribly big fan of either the rims or the exhaust, but props for having the whole car done up, (headers, intake drop) instead of just going for originality for originlity's sake. If you know what I mean (only fat exhaust and 19"s as opposed to i/h/e/drop/19"s)


And out of Amir's List, I would probably only take the M coupe and S4 over your car. Which is very impressive considering the competition on that list.
