Hello all, 'Honda Newb here, got a few questions buzzing around in my head but before i even act on impulse its best i start posting. ok.

I currently own a stock(Everything) honda accord 2002 (LX, sedan, 5 speed(Thank god), 4 cyl, 2.3l), My first actual honda that i've gotten to drive for well over 100 miles... a few years back had a 93 Del sol handed down from my brother, Stolen within 2 weeks of ownership, gee thanks P-town/Brick City NJ...

Anyway My Questions are...

For this vehicle model, make and year, Intakes AEM Dryflow? Injen? Any of those 2 brands matter? Would i need to upgrade exhaust? Headers? I don't over rev. I don't plan on getting it turbo'd/supercharged. I assume CAI?( I Might be wrong ) I'm not looking for a $200-400 intake system knowing i can get a Aluminum pipe(Any Suggestions URL's Appreciated!) for double digit american dollars along side an intake cone filter around that same double digit price. Any help would be Tres bien. I don't plan on going all out ricing the **** outta this car. I just like to drive a car with a manual transmission, keeps me busy so i wont reach the phone (Hell i even owned a 89 4-spd manual Toyota Tercel and a 1990 5 spd Geo Prizm, manual trans is just to awesome to let go atm..) Thank you all

Suspension systems? (this i already know will be costly)

 

Other than increased sound a aftermarket intake is a waste of money. I'm sure you'll get different answers. It's your money.

 

not this **** again, just stick a whale dick on it with lots of stickers good for at least a hundred extra horsepower

 

When my 99 Accord still had the f23, the only upgrades were a shitty autozone spectre intake and a cheap no name header & exhaust. It had a nice sound, but it was slow. From a stand-still up to maybe 50, and with an amazing launch, it was enough to impress people. But it still lost a lot. Why am I telling you this? because unless you have a mom & dad sponsorship or actually have money to invest, it's going to lose a lot.

 

You will loose power. Don't buy one.

 

3" tube with a velocity stack. You WILL make power with an intake, just not as much as you're lead to believe by aftermarket companies. Just don't waste a mirrion dorrars on one. You really won't see much gain with bolt ons without a tune, though.

Suspension wise, it really depends on what you want to do with the car.
