Security, security, security. You can never have enough on a Honda, especially an EM1.

Hopefully you take the car in the right direction

Original motor w/ JDM valve cover? Or JDM B16? Looks good.

looks sick, i would keep it stock, looks like it may already have some aftermarket suspension parts, it looks lower than stock, may just be me.

Check the block. It should have B16A2 engraved. If so, then that's just a JDM valve cover (Because of the "H" symbol above Honda). If it's B16A, then it's a JDM motor. Both are great. Having the B16A2 just makes the Si more "Original".

Mmmm...that stock engine looks so clean. Just leave the engine alone unless you plan on doing some internal work. Header and cat-back is as far as I'd go engine-wise unless you plan on building N/A or FI. I love the look of a full looking engine bay with the oem intake.

sorry for getting off topic op..

as a fellow fbp em1 owner...keep it the way it is...except for security!!! fuel kill switch, headlight kill switch, gps, and c4 that gets triggered by a phone call (if someone gets it)

An intake is probably not going to do anything for that engine, power wise.
