''98 Accord intake system - 6/23/2008 12:48:09 PM    slug214   Posts: 2 Joined: 6/10/2008 Status: offline Hello, I have a ''98 Accord V6 with VTEC and I want to take some steps to increase performance AND gas mileage at the same time.  I was wondering if anybody can help me with some suggestions for what I want to get done: 1)  Install new intake system.  What''s the best brand out there for my car?  I was looking at AEM and Ingen.  2)  Install new exhaust system.  Again, any suggestions on the best type to increase performance and mpg? 3)  Get the car tuned on a dyno.  How much does this normally cost? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Post #: 1

RE: ''''98 Accord intake system - 6/23/2008 8:47:49 PM    ford   Posts: 264 Joined: 4/28/2008 Status: offline i would suggest doing your intake system first...AEM and Injen are both great brands...you can do the Cold Air Intake(CAI) or Short Ram Intake(SRI) either way would be a great start for improving performance and mpg (IF you dont abuse the new power you gain - IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE DRIVER) at the same time.. there are lots of great brands also for exhausts..skunk2, DC Sports, greddy, magnaflow, borla...these are some of the great companies that make great products... it will all depend on what you want for your car..but yeah..i would suggest getting a cat-back exhaust system from one of these brands...it would be most probably expensive tho... _____________________________ 1994 Honda Accord Ex Leather -F22B1 I4 SOHC VTEC -Automatic Transmission -Ebay Cat Back Exhaust Syst (in reply to slug214) Post #: 2

My accord got about 18.5 mpg and ran a 7.0 second 0-60. _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 4
