After trying a custome AEM 92 civic intake, weapon r dragon and a custome made one with a APC spector cone filter I found that AEM was the best I got mine for 130 off www.nopi.com the weapon r one was 17o I think and the APC one was 25.99 from pepboys and I used my stock piping to construct it then later fitted it to my friends 91 tempo I have picts of the APC and AEM if you want to see them. Header you are a but limited on choices I would If i had to do it all over again get a pacesetter ceramic instead of black painted. I love the sound and peformance. As for exhaust I had a pacesetter exhaust and then cut the sucky ass muffler off and replaced it with a dynomax superturbo it works better and sounds better too but get a custom exhause 2.25 with mandrel bent tubes.

Hmmm, I installed my resonator back Dynomax super turbo muffler with 2.25" piping and noticed a small power gain. Then I installed my DC Sports header and noticed a much larger gain. I then installed a K&N filter while I wait to install the intake I bought off of Honda88Si, got an additional small boost.

I'll be heading up to the sacramento raceway one of these wed, so if you wanted to hear what it sounds like I'll let you know when I manage to go. (not tommarow, that much I know:rolleyes: )

if you get exhaust, pick a universal racer design muffler and get 2 1/4" piping. Intake try Weapon R or Cold air intake, for headers get DC Sports or Pacesetter.

People seem to forget that DC sport headers are a bt hard to find now and eapo r is just no good also Jim I did things ass backwards and got my header first then at the same time a highflow cat and a cat back I also got my intake at the same time as the header.
