Don't want to be a jerk but...

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2405883

My thoughts before you get man-handled by the other posters. What is your power goal, application and budget?

If you're planning to push around 200~210 whp for daily driving with $1000~, get basic bolts I/RH/E (Injen,DC/Strup RH,6Xmm catback). On a budget with most bang for the buck? TB spacer and used DCRH. 230+ whp = Force induction. Plan to spend more than $3000 for parts, install & basic tuning.

You'll find most of your info with research and searching. We get these kind of posts at least three times a week. Good luck!

Take Nexx's advice.

You don't even have to use the search function, just peruse through the first few pages for thoughts on exhausts and intakes.

Just curious though, why exactly do you need more hp? I see new topic after new topic about how to get some more power. I mean I have plans for my car also, but I'm waiting until I need them, because as of right now I'm just going to school. I don't need more power just to go to school. So why the need for a few more hp?

cuz more power is more fun? why did you get an si, instead of a dx? you can get to school just fine without the more powerful engine and extra accessories

Haha. Touche. I got the si because like I said have plans down the line to track/road race my car. An si would fair better with the appropriate modifications (once acquired and installed) than would a non-si. Would it not?

gay. well, beleive it or not, all the info you could ever want on bolt-ons is already out there on the big 'ol internet, you just gotta spend 5 minutes looking for it yourself instead of asking others to do it for you.

If it was so simple then why couldn't you perform a search of HT to get your ideas?
