Definitely not trying to have ANY rasp. I want to throat punch civic drivers when I hear it. Just figured if the sound increase was negligible and pipes were cheaper than HFC it may work better. But I don't plan on staying in this crappy town I live in forever either so good point. I'm likely going to copy your setup Exactly. Thanks!

You must be USMC?

 

You'll enjoy the setup, I'm still trying to borrow someone's GoPro so I can grab a video of it under loud. My gas mileage has been terrible this past week since incsng stop going WOT.

And yep, going onto my 3rd year lol

 

Thought so. We army boys say it the right way! Lol. Got out in '08. Thanks for your service. . . And sorry to OP for clogging your thread.

 

thanks for the comments and recommendations guys, so far i have went with the k&n 69 series short ram intake and ark grip catback exhaust. tinted my car windows and now dont know whether to add wheels and sport front and rear lip or go for a performance chip and a tune. i will post pics and videos soon showing the build so far and i am quite happy. plz feel free to suggest any sport kits or lips that would help boost the look of the car. and also on a side note 1st and 2nd gear have nice torque but shifting into 3rd doesnt seem as aggressive and it dies out a little. would a performance chip allow you to add the necessary power to help or how would i go about in adjusting my gear ratios or final drive to help with this problem. its not a technical issue its just how the cars gearing is.
