I/H/E are the basics, start with those.  A short ram intake is fine if you are on a budget, although a full cold air intake will add a couple extra horsepower.  If you use a CAI, I would strongly suggest a bypass valve, unless you live in an area where you dont get a lot of rain or your street drainage is good.  Header, OBX is supposed to be pretty good, and inexpensive also.  I just ordered one.  Exhaust kind of depends on the sound you are going for.  Apexi WS2 is super quiet, Greddy Evo 2 is a nice deep tone, and pretty loud.  The Skunk 2 has a nice tone also, there is a sound clip here: http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c335/666Sticks666/?action=view&current=MVI_1091.flv   (thats live2rice's new exhaust). Appearance, yes, rims are good, so is tint.  Body kit/spoiler is up to you, I dont personally care for them, but you might. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to live2rice) Post #: 3
