I was thinking of doing an iceman intake and possibly an exhaust. I am not looking for a loud exhaust. i want something that is free flowing with a low exhaust note.

What do you guys recommend.

Wish I could of found a low mileage one but oh well mine was still in execellent shape even though it had 155000 miles. Just watch out for people backing up at stop signs. 3 days after I bought mine some old guy at a stop sign backed into me cause he thought the other car was going to hit him cause he was to far forward and I was playing with my radio not paying attention and I looked up and he was like not even a foot away I honked my horn but it was to late. apparently he couldn't see me even though I made sure I could see him in his mirror cause i knew the car was really low compared to his suburban. Two weeks later I got my car back from the body shop its pisses me off cause it was a Honda dealership that did the work and they did a shitty *** job the blending is not even close and theres alot of places where they didnt sand and crap it has a lifetime warrenty so i can take it back when i like just havent found time yet and i dont know if i trust some dealership that did a half *** job in the first place to touch it again esp since i have a turbo on the car now. just a tip for you so you dont have to go thru agnoy like i did esp since it was my first car i bought with my own money! barely had time to enjoy it

For the money for an iceman intake, I'd invest in an Apexi air filter with an ebay intake.

The dealership can give you the code for your stereo.

hey i have an iceman cold air intake and the apexi world sport series cat back exhaust and i love the way it sounds. it has a nice tone and doesn't sound like a fart can. you get a little bit of the ricer buzz when you really get into it but it still doesn't sound bad. i would recommend this exhaust for what you are looking for

Huh, I bought my 94 vtec 2 years ago with 39000 miles on it. It wasn't even broken in
But to answer your question, just go with an ebay intake pipe and k&n or apexi filter. For exhausts, thermal makes a very good product, I would recommend them

the dealership can give you the code but..... you have to tell them the serial # that is on the back or your radio.. It sucks because you have to take apart your console and pull it out jsut to look at the back. I just had to do this to find out my code
