..well since you listed 2 performance mods, I'd go with either the Exhaust or Intake first. Personally, I'd get the intake first.. because there's nothing like the sound of a CAI when our Vtec kicks in..

..not noticeable the everyday driver, but it does help in the higher RPMs on WOT. It also sounds like a beast.. I'll guarantee you'll love the sound of it. I remember when I first installed my AEM CAI, I think for about a month, I pretty much WOT every chance I got just to hear my intake.

When i had my cai in my civic i saved gas because i took it out and sold it and noticed that i wasnt getting the same amount of gas that i was getting when i had the cai on. And i did the same exact driving as always.

^ They were deep but not loud enough for my tastes, and I was too lazy to get a midpipe installed in place of the resonator. Plus I needed the cash so just decided to let em go.

If I had to do exhaust again, I'd just save and go for comptech.

And this isn't that bad of a thread revival guys...have you not been seeing the ridiculous necrobumps of like 3 or 4 years? A few months might be acceptable.
