If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: New at this with a 2010 civic si
Can you wait for it to go out of 5/60 warranty before you trash it?
A dealer might void your warranty if they see power adders stuck on it.

Now I wonder if it has ever seen redline in the first 3 gears.

Yes, the car has been redlined in all 5 gears and that is how I know the VTEC will not kick in in 6th gear at 135 mph I'm pulling 5800 RPM's and I realize that 6th is a gas saving gear but I would like my power band to be more rapid. I understand any bolt on parts will void my warranty that's why I want to do it with the correct parts so I don't ruin the lower half.

Not all bolt on parts will void your warranty, but some overzealous people might make it happen anyway, through ignorance or spite.
IMO, someone that wants to void your warranty would have to prove that a paticular modification actually caused said damage. A cat-back exhaust wouldn't void the warranty on the rest of the car, wouldn't void anything but the original removed exhaust IMO.....example: leaks at the joint between original part and new part would be the responsibility of the installer.
That said, there are plenty of CAIs that suck up puddle water and bend connecting rods. That is an easy to prove warranty voider.
For ALL the USA people that want to modify a fairly new car:
Read up on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Google it. Seriously.
