Default cam for J30A4?

Is there a camshaft available to help increase HP in my J30A4? Will a cam from a different model car work or are there aftermarket ones?

What about catalytic convertors or bypasses? I live in Indiana and dont have inspections....

Exhaust that doesnt cost 600 dollars or sound like a "fart can"?

Sorry for all the questions, but Im new to Honda cars...

Cam: they should be available, if not then a decent machine shop can change the cam angles for you

Cat converters, plenty available or just get a good piece of flex pipe and remove the cat altogether....

Exhuast: Apexi World Sport II is a great sound or Flowmaster makes a LOUD exhaust that's not fart-canish either....

Welcome to the forum and keep em coming!

For a cat, try Random Technologies. They have a pretty good selection, and if they dont have one for your car, you should be able to find a universal cat that will work.

Apexi WS2 is really quiet, but its a nice hp boost. There are a few people on here who have it and love it. You might also try a Greddy Evo 2. Its pretty loud, but not ricey loud.

You could always just buy the muffler and have a shop do a custom mandrel bent piping job for ya.

Yeah....that's what I plan on doing. Say, what's the difference between these two mufflers? I know one says TURBO, the other NA. My car does not have a turbo...but can I still use it? Ones a 60 mm inlet, the other an 80mm (turbo)

How much would the mandrel piping cost?

You can still use the 80mm inlet one, it just means you will need 80mm pipe the whole way back. Its going to reduce backpressure quite a bit, maybe more than you want with a naturally aspirated engine.

Im also curious as to what it would cost to get mandrel bent pipe at a shop. I have been meaning to call around to some local shops and get a rough idea, but...Im lazy lol.

03 sleeper, i say forget a turbo, slap a k20 head on there if you wanna go turbo and mess with the internals to get added power. N/A ftw!
