Default Would this improve anything honestly

Ok so im going out and i just got new spark plugs and they seemed to make my car run smoother, but i was wondering something. Im going out today and getting a new fuel filter and air filter for my car, will this improve power and throttle response? Or mpg? Also should i replace my plug wires or would that be a waste if the wires look good? Everything on my 99 civic lx is stock from factory basically, with almost 80k miles on it.

the gains you will get after replacing the spark plug wires, fuel filter and air filter are minimal.
you wont really notice anything.
your MPG will go up slightly and tq will go up by a few(not like 10tq more but a few)

if yur air filter is dirty then yea u will see a change in mpg, i think it would be a waste to buy a spark plug wires, theyre prolly styll good, u wont make massive it'll be more like freeing up power

Have you done a tune up on your car? Wires, air filter, fuel filter, plugs, rotor and ditrbutor cap. Will make your car run smoother. If you want more power its gonna take more then 50 bucks on a filter.

If the car is running good and appears to be in good shape leave it alone. Its a honda most of that stuff will run until you break it yourself lol. Only if it was having issues or was time for maintenance.

Changing the fuel filter wouldn't be a bad idea. If the air filter is dirty, replace it. You might see a little better gas mileage. You won't notice the power difference.

If your air filter is clogged you will definitely see better throttle response. Also, if the fuel filter is clogged it might be starving the engine.

No difference, the K&N filter is just reuseable.
