Ok, so first off i just bought a used 2001 civic ex and i want to add horsepower!

Some ppl have already recommended me with an:
AEM V2 Intake
DC sports header
Magnaflow catback exhaust

im very close to buying and i wanted to know if anyone would recommend anything else!
I also do plan to do an engine swap in the future, but i dont know when!
any suggestions would be cool!

 

well i definately agree with the AEM V2. Depending on where you live, DC Sports Header might be a good idea. If I didnt have to worry about smog, I would get the Megan Racing Header. And for exhaust, magnaflow is fine, also look at Apexi, Megan, and Greddy

 

if your gonna do a swap, don't waste your money on adding hp to this motor! save it, your gonna need it for the swap!

 

aight thanx so far...

why would it matter where i lived for the header?
cuz i think the smog is pretty bad where i live, cuz i live out side of LA

 

It will matter when you go for emissions. You'll fail for different things in different states.

 

haha srry i have no idea wat that means i should get...

like i think my area's pretty bad... wat header should i stick with?

 

since we both live in CA, let me tell you its one of the strictest places to pass emissions. Go with DC Sports header

 

Greddy cat-back exhaust is a really nice sounding has a deep tone not that ricer high pitch raspy stuff i have it on my 2000 Civic Si. everyone loves the sound of it just cause its not that ricey sound but i dont know if that will pass the emissions test i live in wisconsing so i dont really have 2 deal with that.

 

I have the GReddy evo2 catback, heres a vid if u want to listen to it. Btw i love my exhaust but u could check out apexi n1 catback or an hks hi power, both sound really nice. the quality of the vid isnt that great cuz its not with a good cam, but still doesnt sound too bad
