hello everyone, im new to the forum and have a couple questions for everyone
i have a 2003 honda civic coupe automatic,
and i was wondering
1. is it possible for me to get a cold air intake? and what kind of increased performance should i expect
or 2. if i get a short ram air intake again, what kind of increased performance should i expect
also, is it even worth getting these kind of upgrades?
or what are some relatively inexpensive recommended upgrades?
thanks

 

You cant expect to much power increase out of an intake (maybe 5-10 hp) but if your looking for some cheap mods i would definetly get one. By inexpensive im guessing you would like to stay away from turbo's and swaps so i would get intake/header/exhaust and call it quits until your ready for some major modding.

 

Doubtful, I'd say 3hp, at best

 

Define relatively cheap?

I hear that NOS stickers gain you 10HP, while AEM stickers give you 5. Put a dozen of them on your window and you are running with the big dogs!

 

haha find a cheap used unit. Dont spend alot of money on the intake save it for exhaust and a nice header

 

also Pulleys can do wonders for HP at a cheap price
