Simplest way to gain power

its a civic....u car wont' turn into an gtr overnight.

i dont think hes trying too turn it into a racecar, but ya know u want too do your cheap and easy mods without rebuilding the block

get an aftermarket intake
get an aftermarket set of headers/extractors.
get an aftermarket muffler (or full catback if you want to)

it should sound nice and have a bit more pep then it used to.

Either that or spend your money on a rear sway bar, lowering springs and some descent tyres and you'll enjoy the stock power alot more.

he doenst have to rebuild it, its a new car...
as others have said its not really worth it, but if, u've got the money to burn
first things would be I/H/E

if he had money to burn he shouldve bought a car with performance intentions

my 2c

u dont buy a civic if u want to go fast :p

lol but seriously minor mods will net u only a very small gain and will not be extremely cheap coz its a new car. dont want to jeopardise warranty either...
ide either leave it or go all out :)

5. or maybe SRI (with heatshield) or CAI

You should feel a difference :thumbsup:

Mods won't work well because:

1. His headers are 1 piece with the head! You can't replace them without cutting them off the head.
2. He has 2 cats, the 1st is integrated with the header. So if he uses a highflow cat for the 2nd cat, the 1st one is still restricting flow.
3. Only for sound. No performance increase.
4 & 5. He can't use CAI or SRI because he'll get a CEL from the MAF sensor. Best is a panel filter (which doesn't give any appreciable gain anyway).

In other words, ya Farked!

But it does sound like they designed the car to be a compliant lil tart and not allow you to mod so easily huh?
