Did you install a part and it didn't give power, or it even took away power? Make a list here so we can watch out for these crappy parts!

axleback exhaust (obx-r, n1 lookalike), cold air intake. I couldn't notice a diff with either of these, except the sound.

Skunk2 exhaust. Sounds ok if you like deep sounding exhausts, but takes away low-end. It will help you reach a top speed faster but that's irrelevant performance-wise.

injen license plate frame (came with intake), dc sports decals

Optima Red Top. Nice jump in juice. Smoother starts. Too big and heavy though. I also needed to make a custom battery holder for it. The Yellow Top Group 51 battery from Optima will fit right in and it's lighter. I think I'll get one.

Rep Power: 348

is that true? what exhausts give extra low end power then?

 
Rep Power: 0

ive heard the 5zigen gives low end cause its only 2 inch piping

 
Rep Power: 348

if i were to buy a skunk 2 or tanabe would there be any differences in power from my magnaflow?

rims actually slow you down if they're like 17" or 18" just from the mroe rotational distance .. top speed is increased but acceleration wise its a bit slower

 
Rep Power: 403

yea i don't regret my 18s cause i sold, them, i miss the traction i got but not all the gass i wasted

Skunk2 exhaust. Sounds ok if you like deep sounding exhausts, but takes away low-end. It will help you reach a top speed faster but that's irrelevant performance-wise.

Reaching your top speed faster sounds like it is relevant performance wise to me.

Hey guys, I'm talking about parts that were supposed to be for performance in the first place. Obviously washer LEDs aren't supposed to make you go faster

I've heard nothing but bad things from the DC Sports header. In fact, it's piping is similar to an EX's stock header.

HP, TopSpeed, Kamikaze are the one that speak for what we want.

If it actually offered me more than sound, I'd still have it but that's why I sold it.

Most bolt-ons in general aren't made to increase power in the low-end more than mid-high end power. The mid-high performance of the Skunk2 exhaust does not overlap it's negative by sucking up a considerable amount of low-end power. In other words it's not the best compromisable part, especially for $500. I'd rather spend $500 on a new clutch and flywheel... or even nitrous. Or even some sticky tires or a big brake kit or better yet some lightweight wheels for low-end torque. If you want one, try to find one used for like 1/2 the price. I'll say again that it does sound nice and is perhaps the best deep sounding exhaust for our cars (that I've heard). But nah, I learned I can't keep a loud exhaust on my car either.

If I compared the stock exhaust to the Skunk2, I wouldn't be afraid of anticipating that the stock exhaust flows considerably better compared to the aftermarket... and yeah, without a dyno.

hmm..i've seen this thread before.

Anyway, I regret getting custom crush bent exhaust piping. Should have listened....it's crap.

Denso Iridium spark plugs...not really worth the money. Especially since it comes stock with platinums.

I've resisted buying most of the stuff that you guys buy. At least until I hear some concrete results. The good mods I've installed were the rsx sway bar, strut bars and wheels/tires.
