best gains = 7 hp and a loud exhaust?

Should have turbo'd it.

if you put more neons on you can get like 2002342340 horsepower... assuming you put apc stickers on too.





j/k im not trying to start crap. honestly though dont expect much gains if any... our engines N/A are pretty much topped out from the factory. There is a reason all other cars in the Civic's group have the same horses and .5 more litres. the 1.7 is just about maxed without FI

all the power will eventually wear your tranny.. and auto trannys are a arm to pay for. i was thinking about doing it, but read more about it and asked the pros, they agree the auto tranny will wear out with a turbo.

as for the gain, yeah, your exhaust will breath more and it wont be super ricey loud, but loud. i heard that magnaflow exhaust sounds real nice and not loud too so you wouldnt have to worry about gay noise
your response will be much better after an hi flow cat. but keep in mind your cel light WILL go off on you regardless...
