power comes hand in hand with money my friend, if you dont want to spend much cash go the filter, sum bigger exhaust piping, or maybe some new headers if u get the cash. You could also upgrade your spark plugs and ignition leads, wont do much really, but doesnt cost too much. You could use premium fuel? only a few extra dollars to fill up and i get heaps more milage and the car seems to have more 'pull'.

and yeah HKS is one of the best brands out there, sounds like a pretty sweet deal for that exhaust there.

depends if it was made for a Honda.

what's the sizing?

2" exhaust isn't going to be very good if you wanna get 2 1/4" piping. Your gonna regret it afterwards.

Save your money up and spend some decent money on the exhaust.
A decent set of extractors will cost between $400-800 depending on brand and type.
If you go Cat back with a muffler your prob looking at $400-700 depending on if you want mandrel bends and the type of exhaust.
Getting the Cat changed also will cost between $250 - 300

Note these are also fairly decent prices. You can pay almost twice or three times as much for a branded item.

The exhaust is one of the most important things, don't waste your money and time doing it adhoc get a proper job done and you will enjoy & appreciate it more.

non-vtec civic,...just change a tip for the looks....u won't gain much power with a muffler..

save your money and buy something else to improve handling...

So your car is turbo?? If not $2k is a bit cheap for a turbo setup!? Any xhaust shop can help you with your exhaust but expect more than $150. and stop saying "LOL"
