I've often read on the boards that there's no point in gettin an exhaust alone, since it'll make more noise than it will power.

Now that I've got the exhaust thing done, I was thinking about headers, intake and an aftermarket cat. Partnered with an exhaust, which one of these would make the most sense now?

Although, I don't want to race the car, I'd like it to be a lil quicker, as we know the accords start slow. Another thing is, I'm looking to add bigger tires and rims, so I'd like to at least gain back some of the speed I'll be losing with the added size and weight of the rims.

Thanks.

If I had the choice, I'd get an intake next, and then maybe a high-flow cat. Then I'd top it off with a header. If you really want the power though, you'll need them all.

Work from the back forward so get headers next then intake. If your catback exhaust piping is 2.25" then a high flow cat is worth getting. If your piping is 2.5 to 3" then stick with the stock cat to maintain back pressure.:)
