Don't waste your money on the V2. Get an Ebay pipe and slap on a K&N filter. $50 bucks and you'll gain the same amount as the V2... which is nothing.

HKS is ok, but if you want to go turbo, get 2.5" straight back with a muffler of your choice welded on. ~$300.

These are the things that I wish I did, would have saved myself SOOO much money.

not much... the only think you'll notice is noise.

its hard to get power out of the d-series engines without boosting them.

why does it matter if his civic satisfies him or not? everybody has different expectations...

maybe the noise you get from an intake will make you happy, whereas it wouldnt do anything for other people.

its your car, do what you want.

... for the price of a V2 and an hks hi-power exhuast ($250+$650 = 900), you could piece together your own turbo setup.
