What's next?
I have a 2007 Honda Civic EX auto. I have installed a cat-back exhaust, a cold air intake, a P2R throttle body spacer, and I just got my Megan header/down pipe in the mail yesterday. My question is... What's next on the upgrade list? I'm going to get a Pulley set, and I've been looking into the modified manifold intake. Besides going to a "turbo" system, what else is there that I can do to give it more hp? I don't mind it being loud, as it is already loud!
Oh, and I already know "trade it in for an Si"! I can't see that one happening.. just yet.
Thanks in advance.

Re: What's next?
doesn't seem to be anything more as bolt ons go for the 8thgens.. Found a 2.25" downpipe for your car on thmotorsports.com, however.
other that than, either turbo or motor builds. Again, on thmotorsports.com, found some higher compression pistons

The 2006-2011 Civic DX/LX/EX (R18 motor) has a very restrictive intake manifold from the factory. This new Weapon R intake manifold intake is 40% larger than your OEM one and will significantly increase airflow. For turbocharged R18 Civic owners, this intake manifold is just about the best add-on you can get!
That's what I see on ProCivic's website. I hear its a pain to install though.

suspension
I can smoke high powered cars easily on me 100-ish engine. they all chicken out in conrners and go to the opposite lane in a 30-ish corner while i am going in-in-in and swerving the line just to play.
