Civic 2002 Mods...newbie

Hey...I'm new to these boards and performance upgrades so please bear with me!

I just got a new 2002 Civic EX automatic and I know that I want to upgrade its performance. From browsing the board, I have kind of figured out that the first steps to take would be intake, exhaust and header. How much horsepower do these parts add? If anyone could offer any advice on these parts (best brands, where to purchase, etc...) I would really apreciate it. Also, to anyone in Michigan, are there any good shops here?

Thanks for the help...

Well DC Sports makes a decent amount of performance mods for your new civic.

DC Sports Webpage

You may want to keep an eye on Group Buy Center They always are having some kinda deals on Parts... There arent an over abondant amount of parts for the new Civics yet but there are parts out there.

As for how much power you will get from a I/H/E upgrade Id say your probably looking at about 7-10 hp to the wheels.

Good luck on your new journey...

If anyone has any other reccomendations for modifications (better than I/H/E), please post them.

Well, that's a great place to start. Or you might want to look into going FI. Maybe a turbo (do they make kits for the 2k2? Might have to go custom), or NOS.

Other then Nitrous, I dont think they make any other types of Forced Induction..

Docblayze: what type of power gains are you looking for?? And how much do you want to spend?

That's the biggest question. The possibilities are limitless if your wallet is bottomless
