Heys guys, I am new here and completely new to the modification scene. However, I really want to get into making modifications to my car. I drive a 2008 LX Coupe Honda Civic and am looking to make my first move. I was thinking either exhaust or a cool air intake. Is this a good place to start? Are these easy enough for someone who knows relatively little about cars to install?

As far as exhaust I am interested in a Magnaflow Catback, intake I am clueless.

Can you guys please push me in the right direction? I am really wanting to put some money into my car!


Thanks

 

Turbo :] Suspension, Nice wheels and tires, Sound system a lil somethin somethin u kno hah

 

Probably should have specified that I am looking to spend around $500 or less for my first upgrade. So no turbocharger haha

What do you think would be the BEST first modification for this price range if I am looking for a performace gain.

 

Cold Air (AEM V2 if you can get it) and maybe a Strut Tower brace

 

Do you have a link for the V2 for the '08. I can't seem to find it?

 

ok i dont think they make it for yours aem makes one for a 2006 not sure if they are the same motor

 

Woops not v2 tho they haven't built the technology yet for your year

 

Yea, injen doesn't make one for your car yet either.
You may just have to sit on it for awhile until someone comes out with the technology.
Or you can probably find some cheap ebay one.
Not sure how easy your stomach would settle with that, but I have heard a few (and I do mean a FEW)
cases where ebay(aka off-brand) intakes have done ok.

Intakes are pretty simple to install; SRI's easier than CRI's.
Read the FAQ, it will tell you alot.

 

If your going with ebay you might as well make your own from autozone haha

 

^hahaha
I'd have to agree
