Default Best Brands...

Hey guys...Anyone know what would be the best brand for intake, header and exhaust for my 03 Accord Sedan. I was thinking about the GReddy Evo2 Exhaust but it just seems like I can't find it for my car. K&N air intake and I don't remember the brand for the header. Some insight would be really appreciated!!!

Well, I just updated my signature like you said, but I guess I'll just go ahead and give it now just in case....

Looks like spyder auto and dc both make a header for your car... The dc is about 3 to 400 dollars and the spyder is 130...
For intake are you looking to do a cold air or a short ram??? Heres a couple brands to search K&N, Injen, spyder, and weapon r...
And for exhaust your pretty much s.o.l. for name brand kits... Most of the kits are only for the coupes, although you could buy one and just have a little extra piping made for it... Or just buy your muffler of choice, and have an exhaust shop do all your piping(will probably save you money)

Well, if that is the case for the exhaust. I guess I'll just buy the muffler then. About the exhaust, my accord only has 1, is it possible to make it 2.
Also, what exactly is the difference between the cold air and the short ram??? Aren't they pretty much doing the same job? Is the performance different for each one of them?
Sorry for asking so many question at once

Yes it is possible to have dual exhaust, yet it wont be true dual... What they will do is put a y pipe on you system somewhere probably after the cat, and run 2 pipes to the back...
Just google cold air vs short ram, you will get thousands of detailed explanations...

Function - not hardly any difference.

Looks - ceramic coating will probably develop tiny cracks & show some minor rust after awhile.

Cost - ceramic generally cheaper.
