I would say headers for sure. You have more to gain from them then the other mods.

I'm a newbie to mods, and I'm doing the CAI and springs.
Better tires in the future. Not sure if I want to do sways, headers or upsize rims.

Personally, I'd prioritize suspension and handling over power mods. The CL-S is plently powerful stock. Of course I'd rather take a turn fast then race to the next stoplight. YMMV.

Then again, you have the cash, I'd recommend both headers and suspension mods together -- that's what I did.

#1 springs
#2 sways
#3 headers

After owning the TLS for about 3 years now, I've come to realize that suspention mods make a bigger difference than power mods.

You only use the headers sometimes, but your car would be lowered all the time with springs.

My first mods in one day in a few hours was springs, shocks, strut bar, sways. Like Slimey said, prioritize suspension.

Car parts for a graduation gift just doesn't sit right with me. A quality timepiece however is another story. Trust me, it'll mean a lot more in the long run.
