Default Second Upgrade

I got my AEM cold air intake in the mail yesterday, cant install it yet though since an air filter doesn’t come along with it in the box.. Who knew?, when you buy a computer it comes with a mouse, why wouldn’t an air intake come with an air filter?

Anyhow, once the air filter arrives and the unit is installed, what’s next?

I'm looking to make my car (2003 Accord V6 EX Coupe) perform well, but I'm trying to stay away from making it really loud. I guess the stock exhaust will be my only option for now until some company puts out a performance exhaust that doesn’t wake up the neighbors.

So what does that leave me with? Spark plugs? Fog lights?

I would love to take the GPS/XM Radio dash from a 2004 and toss it into my 2003 but I don’t think that is going to happen anytime soon (if its even possible).

Thanks for the advice.

- Frank

You could always go with a set of headers form either Comptech or Prototype Racing. Both are very nice pieces. Then theres always the AEM pully kit.

Yeah, but a lot of times those mods (header(s)) will void warranties. Its just something to keep in mind
