best ways to boost low end torque?

RE: Personal experience...Anyone??
neeeeed mooooore tooooorque!!! (but don't we all?) anyways so far i've removed the speed governor (which has done wonders) and i have a K&N Cold air intake BUT i was wondering if a custom exhaust system might help it's stock right now, i'd also like to know if aftermarket headers are required for an exhaust system or will the parts bolt on? but aside from that any good ways to boost high end torque as well?

Nothing short of a supercharger is gonna give you instantaneous30-40lb/ft of torque. Good luck finding gears for your auto.
Removed speed governor, I was completely unaware 6thgens had one. In fact, they dont.

actually the 6th gen accord V6 doesn't have a governor, however the 4cyl is limited to 135-137 from what I've read I'm not sure down to the exact mph though. Either way, the question still remains: what are the best and cheapest ways to increase low end or high end torque, and would a custom exhaust system fit on stock headers?

My car HAD a 111 mph limit on it originally. I'd go with a pre-fab exhaust on the stock header if I were you. If you want to do custom, swap the pipe from the cat to the resonator with 2.25" and from the res to the muff.

If you used the search function, you would EASILY be able to answer your ownquestion about whether an aftermarket exhaust would bolt to a stock manifold, so I am not going to answer it for you.
There is NO way to increase low end torque on our cars. Unless you took the engine and trans out of an American made V8 and somehow fit it in there.
Honda's are built for high revving power, not low end power.
