Default Just Getting Started

I just purchased a 99 accord ex and know nothing about it. In fact i havnt even picked it up from the dealer yet. But i was wondering if anyone could help me with getting started, i.e. parts like new intake and a good exhaust brand that isnt too ricy or loud. Also if anyone could fill me in on some good strut tower bars or sway bars, i really dont know the difference, but i would like to improve handling and bassically unlock some extra horsepower. -Thanks, michael

first thing get some nice suspension like some tein ss with some 17 215 45 wheels. if ur car is auto i wouldnt get a intake personaly. but if u do get one, make sure is something like AEM2, it does sound diff from one of those intake from ebay.

Thanks for that info. What about some parts to improve horsepower? are there any? I cant afford anything like a turbo or supercharger.

if u want to improve hp, don't bother w/ exhaust right now...maybe when/if u turbo...get minimal gains off exhaust when combined w/ i/h...6th gens have a nice growl w/ an aem cai...if u get intake i'd suggest getting cai over sr...IMO sr is worthless...susp is a must...makes a car so much more fun to drive...i got generic ebay f/r strut bars and they work well for me...but drop and sway bars will do more...hf, and welcome to HAN...oh...btw...u can learn a ton from searching

www.tasauto.com has lots of parts for our cars. But like others said, suspension is a great first mod as well as intake and exhuast. I bought a short throw shift adapter on ebay for like $15 and it made a big difference in driving the car.
