hey just joined i have a 96 civic i have added 17 inch enkei rs6 rims to it painted the calibers red and have changed out the old tail lights for new ones and just orderd new healights. i live in a little hick town in mich have a passion for my civic and dont know where to start with engine..my muffler is startin to buzz so i think i will start from there
exhaust manifold is startin to leak so the ? is what should i do to exhaust i've been lookin on ebay at catback exhaust that bolt up to stock and diff cats and headers so i also change out the stock plugs and wires for better spark and fuel burnin
i am lookin for input that could set me off on the right path with my engine and exhaust so please give me some input thanks for ur time

 

1st off if you slow down and type in sentances, it's easier to get your questions out.


Keep the stock ignition, some pros have run 9s (eriks racing) with the stock Honda ignition.

For the exhaust, what model is your Civic? EX or DX/LX/HX?

IMO, If your not looking for all out performance, I'd go with a magnaflow exhaust. If you are looking for all out "who cares how loud it is" then any straight through exhaust will be better.

From there, you need to decide what kind of money you want to spend on the car, hundreds or thousands.

 

turbo

 

ex, 2dr, d16y8 and thanks for the information. Yeah couple people i have talked to tell me to go with a turbo. But how much said and done is that gunna cost me.
