Default My Civic update!!!!!!!

Hey everyone! Since i left the Lexus community i've been trying to tastefully mod this civic. I sold my sc400 for this, its an 08 si. To my and many others surprise, its not slow..much faster then my sc anyways. I'm desperately trying to stay away from exhaust, because we all know what hondas with exhaust sound like lol. I've had it about 6 months now and have gotten a good amount of work done.
so far:
Xenondepot 4300k HIDs
20% tint
Injen CAI
P2R Throttle body spacer with gaskets
Hondata Intake manifold gasket
Comptech lowering springs
Skunk2 Rear Camber kit
HFP Front lip
Corsport Short shifter
440g S2 Shift ****
Megan racing H Brace
Tinted Taillights (taking tint off, dont like it, tell me what you think)
eyelids
anyways, on to the pics...



lol

-P2R Throttle body spacer with gaskets
-Hondata Intake manifold gasket

You can get an exhaust that doesn't sound like a giant fart can. Usually the ones that sound awful are the "custom" jobs. They usually just remove the stock muffler and mount a large diameter muffler on it from Pep Boys or the like. Get a decent exhaust and it'll flow better and make the sound throatier. I don't know which you can get but you can do some research to find it.

DC Sports makes a good one. A buddy of mine just put one on his girls RSX. She had an AEM intake already on the car, and now it just sound insanely baritone... No fart can sound there!

Good work with the Civic... I've actually been thinking about getting out of the GS and into one of these as it's just me in the V8. But, I can't force myself to get into another car payment... The best kind of car is a car that's paid off...

the throttle body spacer gives a 3/4 inch extension into the manifold it gives about 4-5 hp and the gaskets keep it from getting to hot, same thing with the img, it just helps out with heat.
