Default My First Bolt-On

Hey everyone, just finished my first real mod on my Integra. I installed a generic SRI with a K&N filter. I love it! The car stays stock sounding unless I really get on the throttle; then it sounds like a beast! I actually bought the unit as a CAI, but due to time constraints, I had to leave the stock resonator in and leave the inake as an SRI. I'll go in and remove what's left of the stock intake and convert to a CAI, just to see how different it is.

Now I'm looking in to either exhaust or suspension mods. Any input is more than welcome.

Congrats on the first mod

Depending on what you're going to use the car for, if I were you I'd go with some suspension upgrades.

I remember I was pumped when I got my eBay SRI.
As for your next set of mods, I'd go with suspension.

Those weeks are over I think. But I still keep mine.
And as everyone was saying go with suspension. After that look at exhaust systems.

Once you get that first mod in you cant wait till the next one gets done.

sounds like a good first mod, i got my i/e/h before i got my suspension, but how you want to your car to present itself when its done is whats gonna put ur mods in an order....suspension is good though...

Thanks guys. Yup, I think I caught the mod bug. I've been researching suspension upgrades for a little while, so I think that's what I'll be doing next. Either springs/shocks or shocks/coilover sleeves, depending on what I decide to budget myself. I also plan on getting a set of Rota Grids and some tires this week (if anyone's seen a black Integra with faded paint and snow tires rolling around Reno, that's me).
