I can't recommend anything that doesn't give you POSITIVE results across the entire powerband instead of just around the top end. However, Jason's car has 18 inch rims and he was able to keep up with an EX with stock rims with an exhaust and intake... so that says he's got a good combo with his cat converter. Without the cat, it's hard to tell the difference from stock.

People like the AEM/Injen Cold Air Intake for 5-speeds. If you have an automatic, a lot of us will say go with the short ram intake. Injen makes a Cold Air Intake for automatics. These are the most popular brands but there are a lot others. Some people would rather make their own custom intake. It's not hard to do.

The people in my team go against DC Sports Headers. There are other's like HP's. Some people say we don't have good headers available for our ride but I don't understand why they say that. Perhaps someone else can explain that.

Finally, exhausts... I dunno. I say put your money in the sound you desire. I haven't heard anyone really dissatisfied about their exhaust's performance. An exhaust alone will cost you your low to mid-range torque in exhange for a bit more high range torque. I hear having an intake will clean that loss up. This is what I have on my car, and I like Skunk2's. People say it compares to GReddy EVO but after getting to hear both exhausts Skunk2's has a smoother sound. They're deep... loud, but not louder than custom piping. GReddy's will scrape if your car is lowered due to it's big muffler... Skunk2's will melt your bumper if you don't angle the muffler hangers correctly. Skunk2's comes with a silencer. GReddy's doesn't. GReddy's is considered legal. I dunno about Skunk2's.

In the end, it's all about personal preference. In the end, it looks like none of it is gonna work unless you change the stock cat converter.

I have no idea. That's one of the cars I have not gotten to see in person so often. That picture was taken at a Bay Area meet that I couldn't attend. The height looks stock.... his tires look like 45 series.

[hr]Who here doesn't like to put on a mod, wash and wax, and take the Vic out for a spin, and have some heads turning?[hr]
Ok.

It's a Honda Civic.

An economy car.

Kindly go out and get a reality check.
