I was thinking about getting a Injen SRI intake, but should that be first on my list?

cai takes away from low end power though. I should just crash my civic, collect the insurance money and then buy something fast.

Get a turbo. They add a lot of power.

you have a lot of ? why don't you do a search

and one of the few bolt ons that adds low hp is the pulleys or to be more specific the crank pulley most others are going to add mid to high rpm hp

improve low end on auto EX
ok here's my suggestion based on my setup w/o turbo/nos/SC

1. intake - remove air resonator, dIY CAI tube keeping stock airbox w K&N drop in
2. Add performance headers
3. Keep CAT & silencer
4. Remus universal fit exhaust

u can install ligthened pulley but i wont recommend if u keep car for long term.

these should improve yr lowend
