Default Low end help please!

I have a 2000 Accord 3.0L, I have installed a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust on it. The car runs good but lacks some punch off the line is there a way i can get the low end back in my car. I am not building this car for racing it is a daily driver/show car. Thanks for the input!

under-drive pulleys...cam sprockets, a better exhaust/cat-back/header system, if you dont want to go race, stick with the basic bolt-on's. Either that, or you can seek out the supercharger system they make for your car, lol, and do both race and show.

I have a magnaflow cat back with stock manifold......I really wasnt looking into putting the money into headers for it. How much will pulleys help out?

don't forget about the CL-S cams.
but you should really look into a set of good headers if you're looking for significant gains.

and i don't think they have cam gears for the V6.

What size is the piping on your exhaust? Maybe you just need more back pressure

2" is good. I dont recommend the CL-S cams, i asked about that and they said you wouldnt see much gain even with tuning, which would be hard to do with the ECU. Headers from Comptech are supposed to be reallly increddddibly good, but you pay the price for that literally.

well have you ever looked into a powercore header, they are also pricey but i think you might get better gains with that setup...and perhaps a thermal research cat back and exhaust if they make it for your car, those two brands combine to make an excellent setup.

Those two words are very sweet, and very expensive. But I wouldnt mind one if I had a CL or V6 with the cash to kick around
