hmm...  my exhaust is startin to rot out and develop leaks so it sounds like s!!t,  i think i might just put on staight pipe all the way to the muffler so i don''t have to pay for another cat plus maybe get a SRI.  I don''t want something too loud but i want a little more noise than the stock exhaust sound (which is like no sound at all).  as long as i don''t redline in front of a cop or somthin stupid like that i think i should be OK.

well one thing guys around my neighborhood would do is cut a small hole in the cat so it would sound nice and its wasnt polluting but if you want you could cut the pipes short so they can come under the car like a muscle car

Lol.  If you are serious about your car, then I would go for quality, not quantity (cheap price).  I dare say that it is really hard to get a 4 cylinder Accord to growl like a 5.0L supercharged Mustang Cobra.  As for the CAI vs SRI, the SRIs usually have a deeper tone than the CAIs, and I always recommend the $300 something AEM V2 intake.  Christmas is around the corner, so ask for money for Christmas or the V2.  For the fartcan, that is totally up to you.  I would rather personally save my money and get a APEXi WS2 exhaust and get it done right than snip and weld some mismatched pipes that makes it sound like a fartcan.  Since you''''''''re on a budget, I''''''''d recommend getting a SRI.  If you don''''''''t want to dish out the money for the AEM V2, you can usually find a cheap kit on eBay for less than $100.


lol casue of my cheap sri alot of people tell me my car sounds like a mustang, i drove next to one reved it up alittle bit, and it sound exactly the same lol, the guys face was priceless though(mustangowner)
