What would you do with $400?

I've got a birthday coming. I had the CLS lowered last fall with the Eibach Pro-kit and that's cool, but I'll be getting $400. What would you all say I could do to in any way enhance the CLS's performance or cosmetic appeal with this money? Basically I want the most bang for my buck. :thinking:

Got a couple of bucks extra for an install, or are you a DIY type guy? ... Then OBX headers!

$393.35 shipped from www.ssautochrome.com and then around ~$200 for installation ... So you'd need to come up with $200 on your own, or install it yourself. Still, thats an extra 30hp peak gains. Not too shabby.

How about the new Stone Headers? GB is $400 (shipped).

I spent my b-day money on sway bars and an upper strut bar.

Just a suggestion...

Are they still having problems getting the OBX headers in stock? I found a little while back that the there was a hold or freeze on shipment of the OBX HDR. Good suggestion. I'll check ssautochrome to see what's up.

Check the sig below it has a link to the dyno.

I saw 4 lbft of Torque and 4 WHP over the OBX.

Monday we will be installing a new set with a before and after dyno.

1. Sways - Best bang for the $$
2. Konis - Probably a bit more than $400
3. V1 Radar - You'll never know how you lived without it.

guy you gotta tell me what you got and I can help or atleast try. First of all you went with springs very nice cause the CL stock is way to high personally I would not have gone that low but I live in NY so its not practical.

do you have any speed mods cause if not I would go with aEM if you like loud sound at Vtec or Ice-box for $240 from Dean which is like stock with a deeper throaty tone. The Ice-box will give you gains as low as 1800 look into it.
