And one thing you have to remember, not all mods are the same...one intake may add 10 while another only adds 3...one cat back may add 12 while another adds 4...research the parts before you get'em, make sure you get the parts with the biggest gains so you're not kicking yourself in the ass for gettin the wrong shit...
uh okay. Thanks for the lecture but I already knew all that wayyyyyyyyyyyyy long ago, and so did my boy. And what really counts? = whp :doh: What I'm saying is that, adding those add-ons seem nice but they don't change anything much for a stock accord. I now begin to think those are just for cosmetic, believe it or not.
I've been driven in both stock and swapped accord. Even with many add-ons, the stock still slow as ever. It's even slow with a swap. Well, to my personal opinion, that's all.
