keep the money and save up for a turbo setup. Intake, header, and exhaust will only get you so far... Learn more about your car first before you do any modding.

First and foremost welcome to Hond-tech.com the most extensive knowledge base of honda automobiles on the web. Secondly, in the upper right hand corner is the search button. You can find an answer to almost any question just through that.
I'll start you off though. A solid DIY turbo kit with everything done right (hondata + dyno tuning) is gonna run you about $2500. You can get greddy kits on ebay for like $1600, but you're gonna want to upgrade eventually so just research and DIY. It will be of much higher quality and cheaper in the long run.

Yeah. So...
Go to http://www.homemadeturbo.com and piece yourself a turbo kit. You'll see gains there. Other than that, no.
