for about $500??

hey guys i was wondering what will give me the most power out of my car for about $500 besides a nitrous kit.

and how much difference do you feel with a dc sport 4-1 header??
if i was to get some new headers should i get 2.25 catback first?

does anyone have a mugen front strut?? how much did you get it for??

thanks for the help guys [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

DC header dosent come with a high flow cat, unless you buy one or a racing downpipe buying it is pointless.

Hey Ken2oo2!! Yes, it is usually recommended to get a cat-back before you get your header.....

The DC T/C system and the header wont give you jack in gains. Probably around 5 horse w/ both. You could always try a set of cam gears, underdrive pullies and a AEM CAI.

you really can NOT get much noticable power gains with simple bolt ons... the 7th gen civic is NOT a race car... a show car, an economy car, but not a race car... (unless you've got a little more than $500.... like maybe add another 0 on the end of that....) my advice....use the $500 for something esle

hey man from what i know, you should get a hp header, and a skunk 2 catback, people have been telling me that this will give you the best gains, hook that up with some unorthodox pulleys and you should be set, you prolly won't gain too much, and it'll cost a bit (prolly around 1000) but from what i know these will be your best bets for gettin the most out of our slow *** car. peace[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
