Brother is turning 16 this week. And for his birthday my parents wanted to buy him a Civic.
The civic they found is a 01 coupe. But it has these parts listed as mods. , INJEN cold ram intake, D/c sport headers, full catback exhaust
im wondering what exactly all this is..or is this just ricer stuff that isnt needed

^^^what he said.
We all thought they would help back in 2001 when the car came out, then realized that it cost all that money to gain 5hp.....maybe.

not really, it depends how they sound...if the exhaust sounds like a fart cannon than yes, if it doesnt than no. It really depends on your brother, does he want an exhaust that is going to be loud while driving on the freeway and stuff? it really depends on him, if he wants a quiet commuter car than i say no, dont get it. Now if its a cold air intake its possible he could hydrolock the engine(suck up water through the intake) since the cold air intakes sit lower to the ground. Its rare but could happen if going through a deep puddle and than he would need a new engine or some work done to it that im guessing a 16 year old wouldnt want to deal with

not exactly. its the basic mods that anyone does to thier car to gain HP. it makes the car sound meaner and louder but not much power gain at all. its the common I/H/E....Intake/Header/Exhaust

ok well thats not a cold air intake, and looks to be an ebay intake also, so thats wrong info on that part by the seller, usually if a car is modded it has been beat on most likely....i would never buy a modded car
