lol Civics... first off you can rip out that pissant excuse of a Lawnmower Engine. :) Don't bother with Dual Exhaust on a 4 Banger. You guys buy A header... not a PAIR of Headers. Move up to about 2" or if you want to push it, 2 1/4" Exhaust. It'll be real loud without one of those goddamned fart cans. It's all about flow. If you really want to stick with that engine, get a bigger Throttle Body, Cold Air, Bigger Injectors. I still say convert to RWD and shoehorn in an old 289 V8. Oh yah, I forgot... Fuel Injection licks pouch. :)

sell it and buy a faster car.. base civics and even the new SiR's are pretty slow...and even with a turbo youll still be netting mid-low 15's. but it dosnt hurt to try just try and be tastefull...id start off with a cold air intake, and header, those will net you the biggest gains. also add an exhaust with the header because a header without exhaust will sound like shit(even more shitty then a typical honda bee in a can bexhaust note.)...intake is the ebst bet you can pick up a aem cold air intake for around 300 bucks at lordco and youll probably really like the sound. and the gains will be noticiable..i know because i have one on my car, but my engine is alot larger then yours, so the gains would be more apparent. 2 1/4" inch cat abck exhaust would be the best for your car but itll still sound like shit IMO....some nice light wheels like rota slipstreems with soem good rubber like bfgoodrich comp t/a kdw or whatever the fuck there called would be tite...but dont go bigger then 17"s cuz any more would slow you down. the best advice is to go to some autocross's/track events and learn how to drive, because improving your skills is the best mod(and cheapest) you can make. dont go to far man..theres no point in spending so much money on an economy car any way..just hold u[p and roll a bimmer or somehting nicer when you finish school.

thats just because alot of times when people put exhausts on hondas they resonate funny and create a sound thats sounds like a bunch of pissed off bee's in a can. if you get a decent sized resonator attached to your cat back like an 18 or 22" long one then it shouldnt be a problem as the the resonator will cut alot of the edge iout of the exhaust sound....you could go to a muffler shop and get a custum exhaust done with one of those universal mufflers you find at a rice shop in the mall(like autozone in coq centre) but you dont have to do that tho since you drive a honda you have a HUGE aftermarket with alot of different parts you can pick up.(i drive a nissan, and im not so lucky :( ) but anyway i really think you should check out the site desirawr posted, alot of the people on those sites have ALOT of usefull information and they would no alot more about all the different possibilities available to your car. modding your car is a fuckin blast but you can get addicted, just remember try and avoid tasteless junk like those stupid blinking lights and stickers.

^^ $7000 later still pushing less than 200WHP and and lower than 150ftlbs of torque.
but the look on some dumb girl who doesnt dick about cars and just likes the looks is priceless. for anything else get a better car. okay .. all jacking around aside. i got a buddy with a shop on 756 and Kingsway near fraser st. go there for ur cosmetic and even suspension and some performance stuff. then get ur ass down to garage five(i forgot where this place is) or A & J racing behind Ikea in richmond. if they laugh at you for not knowing what ur talking about well .. then uhm no they wont do that .. dont worry .. i think? :|

How much did u spend on your Civic ?
Full exhaust from the headers back would be a start along with Intake and new pulleys. Thers so much u can do to these cars , there are endless possibilities with a civic. Personally i would have picked something else tho. RSX type S is a quick little car....
