CAI or SRI imo, I like having the sound when I want it, rather than all the time would be annoying. Intake's are only heard when accelerating
also why bug good folks in the neighborhood with an annoying car?

exhuast is waaay more money though..
and niether make HP.. dont let the hype fool you.
the only thing that "makes" horse power is real modifications Like F/I, internals, ect..
intake, exhuast, ground wires, misc parts allow the HP already there to be used which in d-series engines aint ****!
these and most honda engines are tuned pretty damn good from the factory and dont have much headroom..
if you want more HP get a different car, turbo, or Swap..
ask anyone that bolted All this stuff on and wasted thier money, you should just save all that cash and study on how to build your own ride then do a swap or turbo>

if you aren't planning on doing much with the car buy intake, then headers, then exhaust. If you are planning on building the d17 first buy an exhaust. Then you can still use that exhaust when you turbo it or whatever else you plan to do with it.

people will be better off not doing anything to the motor and just do some exterior work. a little short ram intake would be nice though for a little sound. and IMO, i wouldnt buy a catback exhaust. you can save money by just getting a muffler and doing a custom exhaust piping on it.
i have intake, header, and a full exhaust system. i did notice a sliiiiight pull on top end with all those. but its still not worth the time and money. i know ive wasted too much money on fixing up my engine.

Rep Power: 285 No, 3" piping is not needed. Back when i was a dsm'er, the basic consensus was 3" piping if you were making over 350hp at the wheels. under 350whp, 2.5" would do just fine. Especially since i'm reading many people use t-25's.. which is one of the smallest turbo's available, its not gonna put out a ton of power.
