intakes- aem cai or injen cai
headers- hp racing and kamikaze
exhasut- dc sports, tanabe, greddy, skunk 2, and maybe the hks rear section all are pretty good so just decide on appearance for exhaust

i have injen sri and dc sports tcs!!!

I think so. I haven't had any problems with it. Has a nice, deep, throaty tone to it that isn't like those load exhausts which get annoying. I love my exhaust but I just hear many great things with Tanabe.

Tanabe is great. You won't be dissapointed. Plus, it doesn't look like a cup holder.

Headers

By far the best header for your car is the kamikaze, look up on the net. Kamikaze has been making civic headers for over 15 yrs. Everone is worried about emissions, honestly if you take your car in with anything except the stock exhaust manifold they can fail you. The Kamikaze is made to be a direct replacement, which means you can take it on and off in less then a hour. You still have the sweet gains, change it out when you need to. any more question feel free to email me at bigjoshracing.com

Is the Kamikaze header a full header with cat or just a shorty for the 02 ex 5sp?

a nice exhaust is the rs-r man, not loud and you keep the sleeper sound. Over time I got sick of the loud exhaust so im changing to the rs-r in the future.

k, just get exhaust, then save up for a turbo, because you won't need the intake or header. Another option is use the money for suspension mods. You will get 5 hp at most with all that. So u won't be going any faster. So do something so u can take a turn faster.

Are you sure you wanna spend $1000+ on things that won't make your car any faster but instead just make it 20X louder? Or you can get some good coilovers and spend your money on suspension which all in all will make your car perform better.

Get them for looks and sound. Just don't expect any gains from these things.

intake i'd go with AEM
header either HP or Kamikaze
exhaust i'd get Greddy

i have Megan Racing Header, Greddy Evo 2 exhaust.. i noticed quite a change in acceleration with it. the Greddy sounds very nice, and without a cat, is very loud. lol. like mine! other than Greddy, i'd get APEXi or Tanabe though as far as exhausts.

i have a AEM SRI, and a Greddy Evo II Exhaust, i think greddy is the best you can get. i love the intake and exhaust, they sound great together. as far as a header, i'm not sure that is my next buy.
