Hey what's up everyone, wanted to introduce myself to the board. I just recently bought a 1998 Honda Accord 2 dr EX-V6. I am from Russellville, Arkansas and if you have any suggestions for my v6 please let me know. Thanks for letting be apart of this great site.

 

Welcome.

Remember to read the Accord Forum Guidelines, this is a great site for learning and just hanging out.

As for your car, <U> I </U> suggest do what you want to it, except altezzas.

I have to agree with carolinaaccord alteezas really bite specially since there are way so many cars have them now .. is yours standard or auto? i think the lease expensive and easiest install of all is an air intake you'll be able to see lots of difference from the stock. and then do whatever ...

 

welcome.

i think super street did a test on the K&N cold air intake and yeilded 10 hp. too burnt to remember if it was to the wheels or crank, but my guess is wheels since they had used a dyno. have fun man! ]

i would install an tranny oil cooler as a precaution. ive heard bad things about 6th gen auto trannies.

also check out a supercharger. expensive, but worth it IMO

welcome. First, start off with lowering your car. THen, get basic bolt ons such as intake, headers, exhaust. Get AEM Cold Air Intake, Comptech Headers, and some aftermarket dual exhaust upgrade, since ur car comes dual as stock. However, the dual exhaust and comptech headers will cost u some mad cash but those headers have proven to be well worth the investment. After that, get a tranny cooler as said above. Those slushbox trannys arent too great for hard driving and the cooler mite save ur tranny one day. hope that helps.

 

yes, a car with lots of mods but with no drop looks odd. go with the koni yellow shocks/neuspeed or eibach spring setup OR get a quality real coilover like the apex'i world sport or the tein HA.

 

Hey thanks for the ideas, since I drive a lot of miles on my car a year would lowering it bring the ride quality down at all?

 

welcome

 

not bring the ride quality down....itll make turns funner but go easy on it as youre suspension isnt tweeked to its most. if you lower it and daily drive it make sure you know the condition of the roads.

the anger of hearing your car scrape is unbearable luckily i memorized all the smooth spots on my commutes

 

i got two different aftermarket exhaust, greddy and hks, the greddy just came off an acura 3.2 cl type s, hks is new if you're interested

 

Is the exhaust resonated? I can't be having a bunch of loud noise when i'm traveling from Arkansas to South Carolina You don't understand I put 36,000 on a car a year that's why I was worried about lowering the car because it would make it ride like my girlfriends MR2. Anyway, how much would you like for the exhaust?
