I/H/E upgrades.
Hey guys I was wondering since I have a short ram intake, and a titanium apc exhuast, what else could I do to the I/H/E ugrades? I was thinking of getting some 4-1 headers for my car, and then later on getting a full custom cat exhuast system. Im also thinking of getting a catco high flow cat to stay legal. Now besides the full cat back exhuast, and the high flow cat what other stuff could I do to the exhuast? Is a resonator or straight through piping a good idea? What about the testpipes are they legal? Any info would help.

Don't waste your money.
Leave it like it is.
Search around a bit and you'll begin to notice
that 7th gen civics aren't as responsive to mods as
previous gens.I found this out too late.
Good Luck

2: stock header
3: random technology cat with b-pipe
4: apexi world sport or tanabe racing medalian or w/e
but IMO i would go with a sock, preferabbly walmart brand, nothings better than walmart and an open-ended coffee can...with good welding skills that thing will flow like no other. header wise use some plumbing piping like the ones used from under your sink. im sure you can find duplicate parts at home depo...and there you go! the perfect set up with household items...and they say you cant make power gains without ridiculous amounts of money
new driveshaft...did anyone say shower curtain rod?

Rep Power: 284 i'd suggest Injen RD CAI, Megan Racing 4-1 Header, Megan Racing Downpipe w/cat, and Tanabe Super Racing Medalion. I always suggest this to everyone because this IS my setup and i love it!
