well, chips and airfilter intakes are the only small changes that COULD increase hp...unless you hire a monkey and push your car while your driving...

If you want more horsepower youve got a few choices, nitrous, k swap, or turbo. Pretty much the basic bolton's are just for look and sound.

LOL! WRONG CAR!

"Small" changes won't gain you anything at all except cost money. The 7th gen is so tuned by honda that the only things that boost it's power are Forced induction, or engine swap. You may as well enjoy the car for it's great gas mileage.

I need to clarify things.. Cars are tuned so well from the factory now days that small changes on any car wont yeild great hoursepower numbers
We all bash the civic but its true with any modern day car.

I beg to differ.

Turbo back exhaust and up-pipe on my car is good for about 25hp.
