What's your budget? I've seen mini me swaps go for about $500-800 LS/B20 swaps go for as little as $800-1000, B16 for $1200-1500, GSR $1200-2000, etc.

No body searches.

No body mods correctly.

No body cares.

I need a cold one.

then answer the question or dont post. Pretty simple concept.

OP,
In order for us to help you, you must give us details of what you are wanting out of your car and how much you have to spend.

I think you might mean Cat back exhaust If I were you I would look at how much basic know how you have around a honda... The easier one would be a Mini me swap.... and it will most likely be just as fast as your car with a LS or B20 in it... so I would say Mini me

The mini me won't run too well if your car is the coupe from your name, I'd get the B series swap for ur car, it'll be better and pull the coupe better.

An LS swap would give you a bit more power, but you can also consider boost as a viable option as well. Its really up to you. You should look around the site, both in the tech section and the Marketplace, to see what you can build a setup for price-wise.
