my friend said before you do any mods of the FI type you should get a exhaust first. is that true? and does a AEM CAI really really do **** to ur car? and can u use it if you have FI? so basically is it little **** first, exhaust, intake etc, then the FI systems. or do you have to get rid of the little **** when you get the FI system?

 

If you are serious about going FI, then sratch the intake and header. On a turbo car, these are useless. You do not need an exhaust before you go turbo, but it helps out a lot more on a turbo car than it does on an NA Honda.

If you want to do small things before you go turbo I would recommend an exhaust, cam gears, pulleys, and an ignition. These can be used on the turbo setup.

 

i would say that you do need an exhaust as a MUSt with the FI setup unless you want overheating and lag issues

 

thanks man.. no money = no FI for me. i was just wondering though. ur response is appreciated

 

what does the ignition do?

 

forget ignition for now. if you're not going F/I, start with AEM CAI, exhaust, and header. If you don't get the header and exhaust at the same time, exhaust would probably do more for your Accord than a header. Most dynos show a decent gain, but no where near what the vendor claims. I'd guess 6~10 average for I/H/E.

 

well.. questions regarding turbo. how does it conflict with your warrentees and stuff. and when you go in for ur schedualed checkups, what happens, that sort of deal.

 

I just put on an AEM CAI on my 99 Accord, and it make a very noticable difference. I have a lot more fun driving it now, I've got more power on the low end and a lot more power on the high end, that and it sounds bad a$$.

 

you sound like a commercial. how much did you get it for

 

i barely feel anything, just in 1st...but the sound is great...is the pull that noticable?

 

i feel it in second, first gear sucks, 2nd gear kicks ***

aftermarket parts usually void your warrenty
or so i thought.

 

LOL just try and get some warrantee work on your turbo Accord.
Technically bolt ons like header, intake, and exhaust shouldn't violate warrantee, but you'll have to struggle with a dealer to get any warrantee work done should something go wrong elsewhere.

 

i see.. thanks man. cuz i got an extended warrentee on my accord so thats good info.
