Default HELP!!! Making an "EX" an "Si"

I own a '97 Civic EX, and I want to start tricking it out, I know I need to beef up the engine, i.e. adding VTEC, what all do I need to do in order to put my EX at the specs of an Si?? What are good sites for cat back, body kits, etc.? Thanks for the help!

Just snatch the SI badge from one at the junkyard. Make sure its from the same color car as you had. It will give you the majority of the power, but if its not from the same color car, it'll lose about half of its potency.

check ebay for the other stuff.

just get the Si badge and you'll see a real difference in performance.
