Default im looking for a little hidden performance

Hey id like to have a little performance boost in my 04 accord coupe 4 cyl and id like to know if there is like a computer/intake/exhaust that would give me a boost but not too much cause im still a teenager. Also on the exhaust does anyone know if i can get an exhaust like the v6's(because the bodykit i have has a hole on each side of the rear and i want to fill both of those holes) or would i havta have a v6? This is what im talkin about...

you can hang a dual exhaust for an I4 but I think it would be better if you visited k24 oriented websites

K24 series of engine you have in your car.........you are down almost 100HP from the V6 (this engine is most likely underrated at 24X hp)

Do you or anyone else know of a intake or computer chip that would give me some extra power?

I would NOT mess with the ECU unless you are doing some SERIOUS modding... you can put an intake and headers on it. If you search the web for K24 performance you will find out all sorts of neat things......

I have a 300HP J32a2 (CL type S) Intake and headers

on top of that youve got a 4cyl the mods you put in less you do major rework will only give minor hp, doing a new ecu will only give minor hp, but changing your ecu means you will not be emissions compliant, because as far as i know moding 03+ ecu's hasnt been done yet, or at least not in a cost effective way, now if you had the v6 accord for pre 03, i would say sure ecu it, cause those have room for unused power, but the cost for you, for 5 to 10 crank hp just isnt justifible.

A less restrictive exhaust will help as will a DC Sports exhaust header. An air intake like a short ram or cold air intake will add a few ponies also. These are the most common mods but they can run into some $$$ when combined.

Ok but do you know if I can get an exhaust that fills the holes on both sides...b/c the body kit i got is for v6's and it looks bad in the rear...plus my stock exhaust is rusty anyways so it's that much worse...ill post pics later
