Question about HP Gain in aftermarket parts :)
Well to know my present i must tell you my past ...My brother went to school and gave me his 2000 Honda CIvic EX and before he went back to school he got himself a WRX :madfawk:
Well I just wanted to know about the gains of some of the aftermarket parts...I can't drop turbo becuase the car is fully paid for but still has the warrenty on it so i dont really want to void it
so My question to the Civic Gods are.
#1 what type of mods can i do without changing the muffler
i want to look as stock as possiable doing low 15's w/o turbo 
#2 how much HP gain will the stuff give me ... I.E i know cold air intake can give anywhere from 10-12 HP but i'm sure someone here will say thats not true but a bird told me that so shoot him :screwy:
well thats about it i think.... I want to look stock and whoop ass because my friend looks like his car has dam near 300 HP! oh boy dont let me tell you about his SI sticker on his stock DX car, with body kit, and glowing gauges. :screwy: ...yeah i want to suprise people with the stockness so plz help meh

Intake WILL NOT give you that about of HP. I/H/E would get you about that though. Nitrous is really your best bet, but they could probably tell that it was being used at the dealer, unless you can cover it up well.

intake and exhaust won't void the warranty...if your gonna do n2o, you should save a little bit more and do a swap. if you get too greedy with the n2o, your gonna start melting stuff and its gonna cost you more to fix in which case you shoulda waited and swaped
