You'll see about the same hp gains from both.. loss in low end, gain in top end.

Stock w/ drop in is actually best for performance. Talk to gearbox, he's done his research.

I have Injen RD Cold Air Intake (2 piece) I like it.. and alot of people with the FIPK short ram like theirs too.. It's just up to you.

go on a civic is almost pointless unless you turbo, swap or BOTH. for me im saving for rims, a subtle lip kit, fresh paint, and MAYBE some lambo doors. i have $800 so far and im not buying till almost april so i only need to put like $150 away every other week. and im already putting about $200 away every other week. so its all good. the hardest part will be convincing my mother to let me put on the lambo doors, since its in her name, lol.

good luck man, go with your own style.

Work on the suspension. Drop it, throw on a few bars, maybe get some rims and you'll have a lightweight cornering monster
