Eathier the Evo2 or the WS2 are good since they are both the top rated exhausts. As for the intakes, a short ram gives you a better throttle response since it is a shorter pipe and a minimal power increase. A cold air intake is less of a throttle response, but yields a bit more power than the short ram since its getting colder air from outside. Im not sure about the headers because I dont even know what car you have. Please list your cars specs like in my signature, then we can help you more.

Vipers4life is correct about the exhaust and intake,you apparently have an 2003 accord 4cyl? V6? Headers eliminate back pressure.When combined with intake and exhaust=better performace

thanks guys. yeait's a 2003 sedan lx with a 4cyl. with the exhaust im lookin for a deeper sound, do they both have that? i've heard that the apexi is kinda quiet. and is the slower throttle response a big deal if your getting more power?

The EVO2 exhaust is a nice loud deep grumble. I almost got it. And no the throttle response is not a big deal. The main deal for a CAI is risking hydrolock.

oh no i know how they work and why i want em...i jus never heard the back pressure thing....moslty what i hear is better flow as far as the exhaust system...faster and easier flow therefore some preformance gains fromn that...also helps the car breathe ALOT better with the right things...(muffler....muffler tip...maybe evn str8 pipe) jus never heard the back pressure thing
