The other two products, all you have to do is google them. I cant remember any sites off the top of my head, but if you put in google for example "Civic DC Header" im positive you will get plenty of sites. Same thing with the Apex'i exhaust. let me know if you need anything else.

Cold Air intakes go outside of your engine bay and take in air from the fender (through that hole) Short rams actually stay inside the engine bay, and just sit right above "the hole" (the actual filter)

Ahhh... OK.
How hard would it be to install one of these?
Assuming I can do very little under the hood?

Your stock Intake is connected right to you throttle body, which is on the left hand side of your Intake manifold (when looking at it) It should be attached by a little clamp. All you need is a Flat Head screw driver, loosen it up and slip off the intake arm. You might also need to de-attach another part that hold the air box and resonator. You have to take the Air Box out through the fender.

Also- how much of a nitrous boost could a stock motor take?
