i actually think my accord is quick haha but ive never driven an actual fast car. if putting exhaust and an intake wont change anything about the car then ill just buy some subwoofers instead! haha

All the modifications are relative. I am not sure how much hp is added by each mod. Your J30A4 engine starts off at 240 hp. So a gain a 5 hp will only increase power by about 2 percent. That isn't a huge difference, IMO.
If you want better handling, I would think about tires and suspension.

the 98-02 were the accords that had tranny problems.
if anyone thinks a 2.2 accord is "fast" has not driven a car with power.
my 95 ex is slow as heck.(which is why i wont waste money on simple bolt on mods that will barely make a difference, going turbo f22 or h22 swap with light boost)
my built 1.3L metro was just as quick if not faster.
lol that dang metro ran a 11.1 in the 1/8 mile

Oh no worries the car has plenty of potential, just not in it's stock form. This is where a turbo comes into play. The F22/F23 don't respond much to minor bolt on mods(intake, header, exhaust) it needs boost to come alive
Really goes for any family car like what the accord is.
I'm going all suspension mods and a 5spd h22 tranny swap until I start gathering my H22a parts
These cars are so much more fun to drive when you have suspension mods. Take a look at my sig.. I don't even have coil overs yet but this grocery getter handles on rails already
Keep your chin up. Just don't like seeing people drop money on parts that they think will make a big difference

69-1207TP - K&N 69 Series Typhoon Kits, Performance Intake Kit
is this a good intake? or is there a better brand or model?
