Just recently got a 2007 lux euro and was wondering what are some good mods to get more power out of it. I've recently put in a K&N typhoon CAI which sounds beast but I want some power to match. So what is the best bang for my $$$$
Thanks in advance

I heard PLM headers are a bang for your $$
Any INtake , lightweight pulley, Header + Exhaust
Header would be good. But none of the solutions scream POWER except for maybe a turbo or modding your CL9 with the body of an EG or EK or DC.
I have the basics. I/H/E and lightweight stock size pulleys. I can honestly say they look and sound great, but any gains are so minimal I can barely notice. Its almost as if I wish there were gains.
The headers and cat were the best mod. Around 6000RPM engine "wakes up" and car shoots forward with a bit more pull.
But unless you go forced induction + tune then nothing worth talking about really. And definitely not bang for buck either. Have to be a real enthusiast in my opinion.
Header and exhaust is always a good thing to do
We got CT engineering header and PLM header in stock
Thanks guys I'll have a look and try to get header & exhaust
Any recommendations on catbacks nothing loud since I like having it like a sleeper cause the k&n cai is so damn loud already
Don't bother with a cat back exhaust.Too much outlay for minimum gain.The stock cat back is reasonably free flowing.Quote:

I'm happy with the engine sound at heavy throttle. :)
Where did you get your k&n cai?
I got it online shipped from the US took about 2 weeks cost like 320 (shipping included) if i recall cant remember what website but ill have a look and see if i can find out. But definitely worth getting brings a smile to my face every time.Quote:

You're making me want this reflash of yours, Fred. Stop it. :DQuote:

1. Reflash ( especially with good header )
2. Intake upgrade and heatshielding ( tb coolant bypass, thermal gaskets , injectors base coolant port cut ) work very noticeable when it more than +25 outside
3. Header ( not work well without reflash )
4. Good lightweight wheels (enkei pf01 , kosei k1, weds, bbs and so on ) to save 2-3 kg per each ( compared to stock)
5. Decat or HFC ( i hate farting of decat car )
6. crank pulley
7. intake mods.
Hope i hasnt missed anything here..
