thermal CL or ST
If i can get a CL system for my 1 week old bone stock EX for like 240, should i get it? It says that the CL systems are for the more aggressively built vehicle, why is that? what will it be like if i put it on a basically stock EX?

You want the stealth exhaust for street performance. It's the best, imo. I have just the rear section and it sounds great. Plus the look is really nice.

I bought just my rear section for around $350. I know, ripof, but it was the last one before they went obsolete. Thermal stealth I've always heard good things about. Best, low sounding exhaust with good gains and all stainless steel.

how are they different physically? and why is the CL for more heavily modded cars? can anyone that has a CL system tell me about their whole car setup and how they like it?

I think the difference is the piping. And the muffler looks different as well. Stealth looks better and will perform better unless you decide to go with turbo. Then the classic will be the choice. You could always e-mail thermal and ask for a free catalog and/or some advice.

Actually they look the same. Just made for different things.
Thermal CL exhaust systems are designed for bolt-in
applications and have a deep, throaty sound. CL systems are
tuned towards the upper mid-range and top end and are recommended for
the more aggressively built vehicle.
Thermal R&D has recently introduced the ST line of exhaust systems built specifically for street performance. These systems are designed to create a mellower exhaust sound. These systems feature the same great look and quality as our Cl systems. ST systems are tuned towards low to mid-range power and are recommended on mildly modified vehicles.
