Started taking parts off today to swap. Looking to start installing the parts in the spring. I have a whole list of things other than this kit to install. Hopefully I can start a build thread on my CLS6 later today.

Couple of updated pics. The headers are certainly for a 6 speed. The exhaust mid pipe looks to be 3" or so. Seems like over kill to me and I'm thinking of using my factory mid pipe with the mufflers. It's a little too loud for me anyway and I wonder if I's doing more harm than good. Is my only option to quiet the exhaust is to add a resonator or do the Comptech mufflers have any type of silencer?

Finally got the automatic running after switching out the parts. Found that there are Alpine type s speaker all around hooked to the factory amp which sucks. VSA/TCS was disabled because the rubber boot that belongs on it was detached when the super charger was installed. So if anyone has one please let me know. I will certainly be reinstalling it soon but for now the car is running really good.

Mods are: Comptech Icebox, Manzo headers, Magnaflow catback, Comptech lowering springs with factory shocks, 05 TL wheels.  

Also did a complete tune up while I had it torn apart. New spark plugs, alternator belt, changed the oil and 3x3 transmission flush.  

The car has the "Blackwood" package as well. I hate it. I have the steering wheel in perfect condition along with the center console pieces and vent surrounds. If anyone is interested in trading these items for a tan Type S steering wheel let me know.

Even as an automatic this is a really fun car to drive.
