Yo playas and playettes, help me, I'm green
Hey People!
You ever had to replace a window motor for yer cl? Well if you have, you know it costs 250 BUCKS!!! Are you shittin' me?! It went out last night and I got it replaced today. (the acura dealership was more expensive than the place I went to). ANYWAYS, I NEED Y'ALL TO PROVE THE GUY WHO WORKED ON MY CAR WRONG--- The guy who fixed my car has been working soley on hondas most of his career and had the credentials to prove it. Well I was talking to him about performance upgrades, and he told me that all this stuff we buy does JACK SHIT to gain speed---things like intakes,exhausts,and cams can sometimes make you lose a very small amount..... He said only high quality headers, throttle bodies or a new computer actually helps performance. I mean, he has nothing to gain from telling me lies, so I kinda believe him(his wall was stock full of honda\acura awards). Which pisses me off cause I couldn't wait to get start hooking up Angela(my car). IS THIS TRUE AND HAVE ANY OF YOU WENT AND PUT YOUR CAR ON A DYNO AFTER ADDING ONE OF THE UPGRADES I MENTIONED? P.S. What do you think are the best things to put add on for the cheapest$ and most HP gains, and do you think 150,000 very very well taken care of miles could handle that? P.S.S. Where is the best place to buy...?THANK Y'ALL FOR HELPIN' A NEWBIE.....!!!

Intake could be one of your biggest bolton's...exhaust COULD lose HP due to backpressure, but most aftermarket apps. are tested to gain a little....this guy seems iffy...BTW wasn't your motor under warranty?

a 1997 2.2 would not be under warranty.
an intake does give some gains. i'm sure cam(s) would also.
