Default The best thing to do

I have been researching (as always) and Im trying to find the best mod. What do you guys recomend for the best acceleration, other than a mini me swap?

I have a 2" turbo exhaust and a cheapo ebay SRI

"2" Turbo exhaust"? Isn't that kind of an oximoron? I would say a short shifter would be your best bet after an SRI and exhaust...

Its an automatic so the shifter is out. Tomorrow Im actually going to a self serve junk yard to find parts for my Jeep Comanchee so I was thinking of finding a intake manifold and throttle body off a EX. Do you think that would be worth it?

If you're serious about wanting faster acceleration out of a civic, you need to sell the auto and buy a manual. Automatics will ALWAYS be slower than a manual, at least for civics. So for better acceleration, buy a manual...
