New to the site---I'm sure this is old news and asked mant time before so forgive my novice questions. I just bought a new 05 Civic Coupe LX. My main reason was the gas mileage because I am driving 80 miles per day commute. I did not know how many civic junkies are out there until now.... I would like to get better performance since I was used to a big 5.0 L - 8 cylinder auto but the gas was killing me----I don't want to sacrifice fuel economy either so should I just bag it now and keep it stock ? I don't want to get carried away either - maybe better intake and exhaust. Whats the differece between Cold Air intakes and air chargers ? I was thinking about a K&N air charger system and a APEXi exhaust to get started. Will this effect my fuel economy ? Can someone reccomend some mods to beef up my power a bit. Thanks.

 

Well, first of all, WELCOME!!! Theres tons of useful info on this forum, and it can all be found using the search feature at the top. Intake, Header, and Exhaust are the first few mods everyone seems to do. This will actualy INCREASE you're fuel efficiency, so you dont have to worry about that. Congrats on the new ride, i hope you enjoy your stay!!

 

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum! You could get your civ past your old 8 bangers specs and still get beter gas mileage!

 

Welcome to the forum[sm=hiya.gif]..most of the guys on here start off with intake,exhust,and headers to increase the flow of air and add some more hp before they start really increasing hp with turbos and superchargers...go to the intake,exhust part on here and look of some info on thos, theres lottts of info to read on everything, especially when choosing an SRI or CAI (short ram intake) (cold air intake)
