don't even bother. plus, if you get a j's, it'll worth more than the motor itself...save your money and get a swap.

hmm jus go with what u really want to do man its hard to really ask people on here specially if u are in a budget for parts...speed wise uh most likely people will tell u get a swap... for just bolt ons aem cold air would be nice depending on where you live... exhaust anything from the universal apex N1 exhaust to anything univeral price is pretty decent... body parts its all on you to make it look clean jus go with a lip kit and that should do u nice some wheels and paint it the color u like so i mean thats my .2 cent hope that helps you

if you want the sound, just take off the intake resonator.

you want the sound? just keep it like it is. that sound of the intake is not going to make you any quicker. just keep it like that and ride stock.

you say that now, but i bet you won't later. the aem v2 intake sounds amazing. punch it a 4k and my car humms like a 360 modena. plus its a 2 piece, so you can remove the lower part when it's raining.

as far as exhausts.. quiet: apexi ws or loud: apexi n1

If you noticed there is a thread like this just below yours.Except its for a '94 ex
Theres over 100+ post on exhausts,great mods,which is the best intake,whats the best header,etc,etc..it seems to me that every time i see a post like this its always a trial user..so to get familar with the part of the board you need to go and read the rules and i'm willing to bet for almost any question you have on here has been covered and you will find it searching.

If all you want is good sound, rip the stock airbox out, get a piece of PVC pipe, and attach a cheap *** $20 Pep-boys filter to it. Sounds just like every other intake out there for 1/20th of the cost.
