Regretted Modifications

Hello Honda friends. I'm new here and I thought I would start a thread (assuming it hasn't already been started) about modifications the users here have done to their cars that they either regret or wish they would have gone a different route, or for that matter plan to go a different route sometime in the future. I'm asking this question so that I and others starting to modify their cars will be able to avoid mistakes, or at least be aware of the "cause and effect" of a project. Thank you

Re: Regretted Modifications

putting an exhaust on my daily driver lol, 4-2-1 header and 2.25" of exhaust to a borla pro XS muffler sounded sweat but it was dam annoying 2 weeks later on my daily commute.

Now rocking a 4-2-1 header with a stock Si exhaust sounds awesome especially with a SRI

...
as so many ways tasted in the threads here, fugget power mods unless youn willing to drop a crower stage 1 cam.
our cars willwork out a lot better with good suspension, the you start thinking on engine (considering you can overdrive a stock suspension without using any offending driving *skills*).
our cars are most of all efficient, being why they called *powerful*.
with that n mind, if you ever overdrive the suspension, THEN you can go for real engine power, but it WILL cost bucks. 3 figures easy if you want it to last and not be an actual 20 times rebuild of a 2 figure build. (which if my math is right, should cost more than 1 build around 3 figure done 20 times)
