can any suggest any input on what to get & where to get these items.
short ram CAI
headers
exhaust system
for the exhaust I want something DEEP toned nothing whiny or angry bee-like. just want a basic perfomance upgrade to make around 120-130 hp at the wheels since the ex only makes about 92-93 hp at the wheels stock. 127 hp at the fly but not to the wheels stock.
also has anyone used 96-00 HONDA CIVIC MSD CAP DISTRIBUTOR EXTERNAL COIL? theyre on ebay and Im just wondering if this would be another source of a lil more hp?

with all that, and an auto, i would guess closer to 15 hp after all three of those upgrades........

Best thing you can do is swap to a manual... and change your sig to something that doesn't quote the fast and the furious.

Highly doubt you gained that much, and

prolly not gunna get 15hp, more like 5hp wouldnt do much to an auto, if you want the sound just get a muffler and call it a day

and there is no such thing as short ram CAI, its either short ram in or cold air intake (SRI or CAI) two diff. setups. The piping in the cold air intake goes down by the front bumper and the short ram you can see the filter if you open the hood and shorter pipe

You also have a d-series motor... Honda did amazingly well at designing the d-series, which is why it's hard to get good gains out of them N/A.

And on an auto, about the only thing you could do to the motor to actually feel a difference is boost it (not saying that i/h/e doesn't help, but don't expect much). Trust me, I have an auto

by the way, don't bother with the MSD ignition coil. It's not going to be any better than your stock coil (generally, the stock ignition (including cap/coil/wires/plugs) is good up to 500+ horsepower), so why spend money on it (unless you want under-hood bling).
