You've gotta free up the exhaust path before bothering with the internals. Header/exhaust.

What's with the 2" front drop? What suspension do you have?

WOW!!!!

He's got an AEM CAI !!!!

me too

anyway...

look for this: "First Modifications. What to do first/next to my ITR. There is no best answer on what you should do (Many of these topics include replies to search and welcome to honda tech, pointing to research and leading nowhere or just personal preference). If you stay away from general questions on this topic and ask something more specific, you'll get better replies.: "in the FAQs.

You won't hit 200whp with I/H/E. I would recommend an ATS FD.

its hard saving money havnig a wife and a kid .. back when i was single i used to have 10-15gs in my closet for disposal wherever, whenever.. now im just broke all the time :\

But okay, im pboably just gonna go with a E/H to go along with my Intake.. recommendations are welcome.

I'm aiming for DRAG performance.. which mind you I ran 14.2 last week w/just an AEM intake at the dragstrip. = ) !!!! beat a rsx-s w/hondata #4 reflash and bunch of other mods.. (he ran 14.4) pretty close! but he had ALOT of mods.

be a reponsible dad and save it for your kids college funds, seeing that your mod list says you have a graco baby seat in the back for your sun and vtec makes babies cry shows your not to responsible, who would drive wild with their baby in the car? not me, maybe you should put money into the looks of your car instead of speed for now

trust me, im more than responsible.

Im 21 years old btw and take care of my wife/kid while workn full time and payin the bills.... my lil'boy doesnt like VTEC.. too loud and scary for him.. thats 1st gear pulls/runs not topping out every gear and maxing out my car i dont drive fast with them..

I put $200 bucks/month in my savings account thats goes towards my sons college *which dosent cost more than 8g's here in Canada )+ a tight *** car for him when he turns 16 *so he can bone all the shallow hotties!* 16yr term is = $38,400 w/no interest...i gotta find a bank and make interest on my m00la... in 16 yrs... the $1000 i have for my "blowing on my car" is just excess cash for myself )
Looks? I already have the side skirts/rear oem kit... and its lowered.. i can't see how it cuold be better looking then it already is... (i dnot want the jdm conversion.)

if you're looking for h/e, I'd recommend these companies but it might run you over a grand:

Header:
-Toda
-SMSP
-Hytech
-Dtr

Exhaust:
-T1R
-Fujitsubo
-Custom 2.5 setup
-Hytech

The answers to your question all depends on what you want to achieve-

All out race car will steer you in one direction, while a weekend warrior type of vehicle will take you elsewhere-

In your situation I would get the OEM JDM header and a 2 1/2 inch exhaust.

If I had $1,000 free I would buy a set of n00b coilovers and pay for Watkins Glen in September

Good for you I'm the same way! 21 and married with a baby on the way. IT is super hard to put money away especially living in socal and paying a mortgage. I say go for the RSR exhaust cause it's quit with good gains, and anyheader you wish. don't for get a good high flow cat.
