and the buzzer says..ehhh wrong...
the intake is a good idea but the odds of u really feeling it are slim to none. best is does is help ur mpg. and dont ever just go buy a muffler...buying just a muffler will do u nothing and make the civic= rice % higher. you need atleast a cat-back system to have performance..and u really dont wanna go to autozone for that.. best motor mods are things like new exhuast( header,downpipe,test pipe)spark plugs,ecu,vavle head work,pullys and cranks, boring out things..
after that you get into motor swaps or F/I...

an intake is one of the best mods and is a must if you want to get real power out of your motor. Here are the basics... THE MORE AIR YOU CAN GET IN, THE MORE POWER YOU CAN PRODUCE. As for better MPG... WRONG, think about it, you are bringing in more air which means that your ECU has to compensate and add MORE FUEL to keep your A/F ratio where it needs to be.
Also, you are suggesting thousands of dollars on internal work, pulleys and such... THEN A MOTOR SWAP which will mean that all that money went to waste. If you want a motor swap then save up and do it now. Dont waste money on a motor you are going to get rid of.[:@]
GOD!!

Yeah I've even tested this out myself. I've got a CAI and normal driving for me (flooring it every possible chance I get) makes my fuel economy terrible. But I've tried a couple of times to accelerate at only about 1/2 throttle and shift at 3500 - 4000, and I got better mileage then stock.

thank you sacicon,civica and XCM...i think polo likes to get on my *** about stuff..i dont belive i ever stated that it gives u better mpg when driving it hard polo..im sorry for ur confusion..
and we are talking about an 05' here..not really much i think u can do but put an rsx motor in..which im not saying is a bad thing..but for someone who doesnt want to do that. pullys and such will work...
