AEM cai

soon to have a fidanza flywheel
bosal exhaust

Eibach lowering springs

Thanks for you opinions in advances

if you have to say street legal, get the Random Technology high-flow cat (downpipe included). If not, get a header with no cat. a p&p will run you about $700, but that will give you HUGE gains if you have the money.

There isn't much you can do since civics are such slow cars. I put thousands into my car with pnp, intake, header, vafc, plugs, and much more. There is barely any gain at all. Someone else has crazy amounts of NA mods and barely squeezed out 30hp after tuning and tons of money. It's not worth it imo. Everything I spent on wasted parts could have bought me a turbo by now.

what he said.

But my EX header, EX RandomTech hi-flow, Magnaflow exhaust, K&N FIPK are on their way I guess Im hahahaha I want to be happy with the sound, a little bit of gain, if any, before I sell my 04 next year.

So, who got dibs on my performance parts
