Question...new to the post...own 2k3 SE but had to go auto...stock presently but want some more power...have been told to add intake, headers, & cad-back...what can I do for @ $1500-2k? any & all answers would be great.

 

Aside from an intake and an exhaust, you could go with a lightened flywheel, clutch, underdrive crank pulley, and a possible cam gear.

 

hes auto, there is no flywheel or clutch. no one sells cam gears, thats honda world. best bet is start with headers, although you may want to wait til hotshot works out some large kinks in their batches of headers these days. my vote is hotshot headers (if and when they work out issues), b pipe w/resonator and keep the stock muffer. udp will help free up some power and just pick whatever intake fits the rest of the budget. check out southwestautoworks.com for most of the items mentioned but keep in mind you can call and get better pricing telling them you are from the org. this should give you a nice bump in power but then you are going to want do something about the suspension.

 

thanx for the tips...what about suspension...f/rsb?

 

You can pickup a FSTB and RSB for around $150ish for both if you shop around. Header is probably the better "bang for buck" from a performance perspective, but if you don't want to blow your whole wad at once, you should be able to get a y+B pipe ($500-ish with a good deal), intake ($280 or less), UDP ($200-ish?), FSTB and RSB ($150-ish) for just over $1k. The additional $500 could go towards springs and shocks/struts as well.
