Default Hello all! Noob here. Well Kinda!

Hello just wanted to introduce myself. Been a while since I was on here other then just reading posts as a non member. I joined Honda-Tech back in 2000 shortly after purchasing my 2000 Type R #00694 screen name was typer694 at the time.This site was a big help to me and I did a few sales with members of this board from time to time and met a lot of cool people. Had the car until 2003 and then did a stupid thing, I sold it. Long story short, was making pretty good money at the time and decided to by a brand new 03 EVO8 that was going to be my daily driver and turn the Teg into a track car only. Shortly after the EVO purchase I got laid off and had to let one of them go, I chose the TEG, yeah I know. At the time it seemed like the right thing to do. The TEG in my opinion at the time was not very suitable as a daily driver. It had full TEIN suspension, spoon strut bars all around, TODA Spec B's, flywheel, exhaust, JDM final drive, scary in the rain Advan tires, yada yada, and every other high quality all motor bolt on known to the Honda world. Now I would kill to have this car back and be able to drive her every day. The EVO was a great car but IMO was no type R. Two very different worlds. It became a very high maintenance vehicle to own and too much money was being spent to make it fast and reliable. The EVO was sold in 2005 and I decided to do without a nice car for a while and get things back on track, school, work, money, wife, etc. Now I am a little older (35) and decided it was an ok time to buy a newer car. I decided to not go the boy racer route and find another Type R which I really wanted to do but to try and find a bone stock low miles Rsx Type S. I found an 05 and the price, color, and millage was rite! Not even a month later I was T-Boned by someone who ran a red light in large SUV in the driver's side totally demolishing the poor RSX. I walked away from it all with minor cuts and bruises, was out of work for a month but I was still alive. Needles to say the car was totaled out. The good part was that I actually got $4,000 more from my insurance then I paid for the car. I didn't have enough seat time to really get to know the car but I knew enough and was hooked enough to find another one. Five months later I found another bone stock Type S same color (Silver), a year newer, lower miles, and for the same price as my 05. Done deal! So far all I can say is I miss my Type R, lol. The Type S is a very nice car but it is everything that my old friend wasn't and not close to what it was. Who needs leather seats, sound deadening material, sun roof, and a seven speaker Bose stereo any way? All BS aside I am happy with the car and I think the fact that I am a little older now and It's not screaming pull me over Yellow I can stay out of trouble and still have a little fun with this one. So with that all said what do you think is a good intake and exhaust for mY cAr yO??? J/K See you all around!!

Holy paragraph batman... so hard to read! Please you structure next time damn lol

A good intake is the Noob deluxe lol.
Had to read the story to finally figure out what kind of car lol
It's a type-S... Injen CAI and Greddy Evo II
Search for your own answer because this is such a common stupid opinion question that does not need to be asked. All personal preference.

You last line says "I don't want to be a NOOB!!" then do some searching and ask a good question like comparing two exhausts you looked up and etc.

Woohoo said it twice lol

Yeah I guess that's what happens when it's late and been drinking. Drunk typing is like drunk talking I guess. One big long sentence. Sorry about that.

As for the intake and exhaust question, it was a joke. Anyone who has been a member on here as long as I have will get it.
