Default New accord question

I just got a 2003 accord sedan. and was wondering what if any aftermarket parts are out.
I know its new and there arent that many parts out yet, but what can I expect to see??
Do you think there will be aftermarket headers, because they combined the headers and exhaust manifold or will it just be cat back exhaust available?

There is the AEM CAI and Short Ram available for the 2003 Accord Coupe V6 only. It shows this on AEMpower.com. I don't know why it wouldn't fit the sedan....

There's already 2 other threads about 7th gen(2003+) Accord parts.

I doubt we'll see headers for a long time...it'll take an esteemed company like Comptech to do it even better than Honda did (I dunno if they can), and even then they might not because they'lll be expensive and it'll cost alot to develop them.

No problem. As for the intake, I'm thinking that it has to do with the amount of space in the engine bay. Keep in mind the two cars have entirely different sheetmetal (Like the BMW 3 Series Coupe/Sedan). I'd drop an email to the company and ask them about it...maybe it's just a typo.

there wont be any headers... being the manifold is part of the head... they probably will make aftermarket down-pipes though... in the future.

The intake should be the same... its the same engine compartment in both cars.

For wheels, use anything that will fit a 98-2002 accord V6... as all the new accords use the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

It'll just be a matter of time now... the cars are in full production... aftermarket stuff is not far to follow. Comptech and AEM are usually the first companies to come out with new Honda parts (go figure on the comptech stuff!).
