hks, apexi, greddy, or go jdm, go check out www.clubrsx.com and go find the EXHAUST CLIP section they have tons of members with all kinds of exhausts. it'd be a good start to see which you'd like to mate with your k-drop

No Megan, you can do alot better than them. Try Jackson Racing Header, alot of people love it and use it on the EP3. And HKS exhaust for the EP3 is nooicccee. Go look at ephatch and check some of those guys stuff. Alot of nice things goign on there.

^Agree with you on the air intake on the EP3. My friend owns an EP3 and he and I could tell a difference... a lot more difference over an EM2 (Actually couldn't even tell the difference w/D17).

really, if you make 210whp or not is determined on what dyno you will go to with those mods more than anything.

you will be somewhere near 200. but yes, the v2 sucks, and a DC sports race header will be almost the same price and better.

megan is not a bad product. For the price, you get a really quality product. as far as your setup, you would def. hit 210whp with a rgood tune. kpro rules!

Megan is not that great, you could do alot better than that. SSR Racing Header or Jackson Racing would be the best way to go. And do the CAI on it. 210 is very very possible then.

DC sports, Comptech, Jackson Racing , Toda are much better header choices the exhaust is not to bad and the INjen CAI results more HP than the AEM I know this due to my recent purchase of my rsx-s

Yeah i dont like AEM.. I did in the past, but not anymore. Injen is the way to go for intakes. I like my exhaust, but i plan on getting the Greddy EVO2 exhaust here soon.

Header, Exhaust can easily be fixed. I've never heard anyone getting there warranty voided for an exhaust. header shouldn't be to hard to remove in case something does go wrong. Don't be afraid, i haven't let my warranty stop me yet.

a race header is a race header, megan is a good company, and the only reason no1 in car shows have it is cuz they are not sponcerd by megan. and people always go by what everyone else thinks is good or what they hear is good. when really most stuff is produced in the same wear house and just has a diff name.. for example i sell tvs, most all companys have the same things inside the tv just diff names and most of the BIG KNOWN names are the same thing just a diff lable like sony,samsung, and hitachi all made in the same wear house. i have the megan 4-1 header and the megan cat less test pipe its much faster i also have a AEM CAI it works good, i beat my friends 02 or 03 si by 2 or 2 1/2 cars all day long, hes got intake, stage2 clutch and short shifter. i also beat my 2 friends 240sx's both by like 1 1/2 or 2 cars they have i/h/e.. ill get vidoes one day..

DudeitsMattX, that may be so with electronics but that couldn't be more wrong about car stuff. Your telling me that an Injen and AEM SRI are the same thing? WRONG. Suspension and stuff is totally different too. You comparing electronics to this stuff isn't the same at all. Megan stuff isn't great at all, period. You can argue and say it is but when it comes down to it, it doesn't compare to the higher brand name stuff. Your telling me that any coilover is the same as my Tein SS Coilovers.

Jackson Racing Header is 10x better than the Megan.
Toda, SSR, Jackson don't even compare to Megan they are in a whole different league than Megan. Just because you have it doesn't mean they are all the same, if that was so then everyone wouldn't buy all the expensive ****, they would go cheap.

like the apexi n1 coilovers and megan's coilovers....probably the same for many big aftermarket parts companies
