Default Need to see the light .

Ok my ? is simple i think but, i am thinking of purchasing a set of projector headlights for my 1994 acura teg . What i want to know is will i loose or gain night time visability? And also can anyone point me in the direction of a stainless exhaust setup that is inbetween "omfg it sounds stock" and "wow dude nice fart cannon" , i want a nice tone just a little richer then the evo but by no means do i want to be "that guy" You know the one , he drives a decalled ,19 inch rimmed,12 inch tall carbon winged car that is stock with look goods as his only mods.????o thats more then 1 ? isnt it . any help would be great ....thnx.

if the projectors that you're looking to buy are those ebay brand shits, stay the fuck away...or so that's what the general consensus is. they're shitty build quality and tend to blow bulbs a lot. i think it has something to do with how the projector housing gets really hot. and also, light output blows...ive seen b4 and after pics on a few forums. if you want projectors, the only way to really get the results you want is to do a retro fit of a s2000 or tsx projector. i'm not sure if it was here or on team-integra.net where someone got a HID plug and play kit on the stock projectors and it looked pretty decent. you gotta remember tho, the stock projectors are made for halogen blubs...they dont have any type of devices to control glare.

as for the exhaust, the rsr exmag has been getting rave reviews on how quiet it is at WOT, but has a really nice low bass tone at lower rpms.

hope this helps

yeah i was looking at some that where APC but was thinking they might be lame . as far as the exhaust im kinda leaning towards the skunk 2 , but a friend said that a ractive phatboy would be good aswell but still im not sure .also im thinking of getting a cold air intake but im in a state that gets deep snow in the winter so im not sure if i should go with it or a short ram , does anyone know what the "hp" differnce between those two is? and does anyone make a battery for these cars with more cold cranking amps thats still the small size ? ....... i know i have alot of ? sorry and thanks for any and all replys .

the biggest dif on a CAI that i've noticed was my top end! I used to have CAI but the streets in my town don't drain worth a crap and I don't have a bypass valve so I just took it off... after about 100mph is where i can tell the most difference cuz it doesn't pull as hard so I wouldn't guess there's much horsepower difference

A) you have projectors
B) without other modification an exhuast will get you little power gains, and isnt worth the money IMHO-- but it's good if you want to gain experience.
C) i'd most likely stick with a SRI if if wanted to upgrade my intake
