Re: Upgrades in my 2001 civic

Search.

It'll give you sound and a little bit of something you body will tell you is "faster"

If you do it right, it'll make your civic sound faster than it is, in a nice way. Take mine for instance. My **** sounds amazing, but I've done my homework. People that hate rice rockets like the way my car sounds.

and, it won't do you any good installing more than one header in your car.

Do you want it to sound better?
If you answered yes, then yes

Do you want it to perform better?
If you answered yes, then no

Re: Upgrades in my 2001 civic

I'm guessing he was looking for performance.All of them are.Yes it'll sound better,but I don't think it's worth it.

Re: Upgrades in my 2001 civic

Eh, it'll give you some performance. Albeit marginal, yet performance nonetheless. If you do an exhaust system, it can set you up for a turbo'd future.

Re: Upgrades in my 2001 civic

Lol.I/H/E on a EM2 gains you at most 5-7WHP I believe,which puts you over just over 100WHP.And true,it could get you set up for a turbo,but then he might go off and buy an Ebay turbo.
