yo i'm new but i know like they said go for the intake and exhaust either short ram or cold air. cold air gives more hp but the short ram is i started wit a short ram and worked up to the cold air.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will do the cold air intake first. Does anybody know what if any mods would mess with the warranty?

Yea, as far as what I've seen, even an aftermarket intake would void the warranty.

almost anything will void the warranty, including the intake.

I can get TRD products for my Toyo and it stays under warranty... is it like that with Mugen products for Hondas?? I dont remember.

No, Mugen parts will also void the warranty. Mugen & Honda are two different company even though they have a long term relationship of working together. It's different than Toyota & TRD. Toyota & TRD are the same company. TRD is just the racing division of Toyota. Honda has Honda Racing but they don't make any parts for regular street Honda.

Damn, that sucks... my Toyo will be under warranty with my Supercharger, CAI, exhaust, and chip... but I think my suspension warranty is shot, hahaha[sm=smiley2.gif] Too bad Honda doesnt do something like that.

I live in New York State. I called Honda waranty customer service and the guy I talked to said that an intake and cat back exhaust probably would not void the warranty, but anything more than that would.

In my town, I was told that Honda must do the work for the warrenty to be honored. Like I'm really going to pay them to put on a CAI or a cat back!
