reread my post mate, im pointing out its not really fanboy...
i wouldnt say they are the best thing ever though but they are a good middle ground

Injen's Meh.

It's more fanboi points than anything else

hell, a comptech icebox makes more HP than Injen and cost almost 50% less

Best CAI for the CL9 is the K&N Typhoon, and it cost the same as Injen.

OP's got a Preface, deal with the 900 cel CAT before header, or better yet do them together.

most brands are around the $400-$600 mark but the best one is the Toda setup at upwards of $1000 if you can afford it

Weapon R is bang for buck because"
1. Comes with test pipe (therefore you can weld a cat to it w/o screwing around with pipes)
2. its' stock length, unlike the Hytech/PLM setup that would need you to screw up your stock/aftermarket catback to make everything fit

secondly intake - now this all depends on what you want from your car - the two best options here are the Fujita/Injen CAI kit or the Comptech Icebox Intake kit
the Fujita/Injen CAI kit will give you a slight gain in the top end and give that loud induction roar

---

K&N makes most HP i'd go with that.

another couple of things you can change without spending thousands are the engine drive pulleys - light weight pulleys will give you similar results to a light weight flywheel and a bit of power to boot

---

agreed I have OEM sized lightened pulley, makes a massive different lower down.

adding a bigger rear swaybar will dramatically increase the handling characteristics of the CL9 - anything larger than 18/19mm will require stronger end links as well as the standard ones break once u go bigger than that

---

$60 for new stiffened endlinks (i upgraded to moorgs for my CTE 22mm), well worth it

---

if you have a good mechanic and access to the parts - changing the gear ratios and final drive with K20 Type-R components is regarded as one of the best value for money mods you can do on our CL9

---

Only if you are doing ECU mods at the same time cause you'll need to recalibrate the speedo.

havent seen many comptech iceboxs round lately...havnt been looking though

has anyone used the Honda GROM USB2+ ? and how hard is it to install or should i just take it to someone to install cause i really don't want to molest the dash. seeing i have leather interior and don't want my seats to go to crap wheres the best place to get seat covers which allow for the side airbags seeing honda doesn't offer a set anymore?

thanks for the corrections Fredoops - good info
forgot to mention changing the cat + headers at the same time >.<

comptech parts can be ordered direct from their website

and for the Injen fanboys - Fujita is miles better - same design but better quality materials and way better pod design
Fujita also gives more choice in material selection - wrinkle black, chrome, black chrome, bronze etc

It is

But comptech don't exactly have the best gains, it's not a race header

And it doesn't comes with a test pipe.

I've got no clue what your 2nd sentence is supposed to express.

the point is that wrinkle black is not a material, its a finish that can be put on anything you want.

whatever man, no need to be an asshat about it - both injen and fujita are from america
the pod filter and mounting hardware you get in the fujita box is much better than injen
and overall i have never seen a fujita kit dent or bend but i have seen various injen kits damaged just from installation or removal

do you know which data cable my euro would take hon1m, mbus or hon92?
cheers
