Default Easiest ways to boost HP?

I want to give my 1999 Honda Accord Coupe a little bit more punch ...it has the V6 J30 engine. Any suggestions?

I don't know how you want to define easy but comptech supercharger is my first thought.. Outside of that, the standard intake, exhaust, header work.. Get rid of the catalytic converter, I wouldn't but it's an option..

more specifically: http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/f..._v6/index.html

is this your daily car??

never mind it's a 99 it's auto.

Well since you have a auto trans don't bother with anything more than bolt on's. Headers exhaust and intake. much more power than that you trans will fail on you. Your best bet for performance is to do a 6 speed swap then you can add as much power as you want. Thos trans can hold the power the autos can't

So like a cold air intake and headers? Cool...what kind of exhaust work will boost HP? Aftermarket mufflers?

a muffler won't add enough hp to be able to tell a difference but it will be louder, and it will sound good as long as you don't buy a cheap autozone muffler

You could just buy a whole exhaust kit instead of just a muffler. Muffler in itself will do little more than add noise.. One suggestion would be throw on an apexi ws2.. those things are pretty solid..
