I think skunk2 has carb legal mani's. Not sure about any other companies. But that's probably your best bet.

That's Wat I was thinking. I want to buy new to not used so I can take the receite to my insurance company and add to the blue book of the car I can add up to 5k in upgrades and I'm covered

buy one that doesnt have a stupid name plaque on it so it looks stock. doubtful some jackass at a smog station can tell the difference anyway.

Modifications decrease the value, not increase it.

whats the point stock one works just fine ull be hurting power
and upgrades dont increase sh*t

my audi was bought for 48k brand new by me from the dealer I'm 18,000 into the car it has 50K miles on it i got it appraised at 22,000 dollars you really think someone would pay more for a integra just cause it has mods

I meant if it gets stolen.. I will get back wat I put into it, or crashed "knock on wood". From the insurance company. If I sold it wich I won't I would go back stock but anyways. If I go skunk2 do I got to change the throttle body right away or can I use my stock one for a while?? Just wondering

You can use the stock tb. But I agree with everyone else, the stock IM is sufficiant enough.
