So I'm saving up to get my next two items. First is Cold Air Intake and I was going to get the AEM V2. I have a 2004 Honda Civic LX Coupe. But anyone have any suggestions on this or a better one. I'm also saving for a DC Sports Exhaust system. Again any suggestions on whats anything better or how this exhaust is. I don't have a lot of money but I'm also willing to save up to get quality equipment. Thanks.

I have both. Very nice quality on both of them. You could prolly save a few $$ just buying a B.S. cold air for peanuts because it's going to do the same thing anyway. The performance of a V2 compared to any normal CAI is too close to justify spending the xtra $$ IMO. I have the single can DC sports exhaust on a 421 DC ceramic header, sounds good. Mellow, not ricey and the exhaust/CAI combo. gave me a lot more low and mid range and all in all made the car more fun to drive.

So if I were to buy a universal CAI from Autozone thats 50 dollars the performance is close to the 300 dollar V2... Just to me that doesn't seem right but you never know...

it doesn't seem right but trust me your not going to feel the extra couple ponies a V2 will get you over a cheap autozone one. Honestly if I could go back, i'd just find some CAI piping, have a short ram and buy a K&N cone filter for 1/3 of the price I paid for the V2. More beer $$$..

How does it sound? Does it sound like a ricer because there are too many of them around this area....

the sound is smooth, but loud.... so loud, even dynamating the entire trunk with a silencer on the exhaust was loud...again, I have pretty high expectations when it comes to driving comfort... gonna look into an RSR or Apexi WS2

I'm looking at procivic.com at their exhaust and performance parts. Anyone know who else has a good selection? Any suggestions on the Magnaflow exhaust?

I have the aem v2 intake and the dc sports twin canister exhaust with matching headers and a high flow cat. If you want to spend the extra money you can't go wrong. You're looking at a 10-20 horspepower jump with an ex/si civic. I have however had a problem with welds on the exhaust canisters and intake breaking. I hope this info was helpful.

MagnaFlow Exahust are GREAT!. The cat back Kit i have for my Civic Works wonders. Not huge on Power Gains with 18s on. But the mean growl is amazing and its not STUPID loud at all.
