98 accord advice!
hey whats up guys! picking up a 98 accord 4dr F23A1 5 speed....tein suspension, aem intake, vtec controller and other exterior mods! need some advice in a few sections....
exhaust: whats a nice exhaust that aint too loud but has a nice flashy mild look?
engine: would headers be a decent gain? is a f23 a good canidate for decent daily driven power and what does it put out stock? when would yal suggest a rebuild as far as mileage? and are there any down falls about that motor?
trans: whats a good clutch? do you suggest a H22 trans? and how does the stock trans hold up in many situations?
thanks for your time and advice guys all help is appreciated!

Apex-i WS is pretty quiet. Really, any muffler will be ok as long as you have a cat and resonator, and keep the piping under 2.5"

150hp, 152tq. Bolt-ons don't really do much for these motors. Rebuild when it blows. Or swap in a newer motor, it'll be cheaper. Downfalls - head is a little restrictive. Pluses - It handles low boost pretty well.
trans: whats a good clutch? do you suggest a H22 trans? and how does the stock trans hold up in many situations?
I run a ACT 6 puck with stock pressure plate and flywheel. Got it for $89 delivered. To me, H22 tranny isn't worth the $. Revs don't drop below 4k on shifts with stock tranny, and that's right around where the f23 makes max torque. Tranny is just as strong as H22.
