if its an automatic my first tip for you is to keep up on the transmission service. im going to assume its something like an lx or ex so my next tip also paired with a question. what are you looking to get out of the vehicle looks, more power or a bit of both? with an automatic i wouldn't suggest going very far with bumping the power. also assuming you have the 1.8 as you didn't specify you bought an si so as far as power a cold air intake has a nice sound on the r18. not sure on what you would actually get in power but you might notice a slight decrease in throttle response. also if your doing a cat back i also highly suggest spending real money and dont buy junk. as far as visuals dunno worlds of stuff and direction you can go with that. so give us some more input on what your actually after.

the automatic cant handle big power jumps so your going to be somewhat limited there. there is or was a automatic specific turbo kit for the r18. supposedly the torque converter you buy with the turbo kit is supposed to help keep the transmission from failing prematurely. but that would involve alot of cash and alot of work. start out with a good exhaust system and a good cold air intake and see what you think.
