my 98 civic lx just recently got a new intake which was custom made from my friend using a spectre $25 filter and tubing from a local shop.
This costed me around $80 in total and the exhaust I already ordered is a Yonaka catback which costed me around $285 plus another im guessing 80-100 for installation.
I was thinking of getting a cheap header from ebay or buying a Megan header which would cost around $150 shipped.
I've also got some NGK plugs and wires to replace my very worn ones which did improve my acceleration a bit. These costed me around $60
So all in all I've spent 60+80+285+ (80-100 installation for exhaust) = $605~625
I'm also pretty aware that this would get my 98 civic lx car minimal hp since the stock engine holds only 106 or 108 hp (sadface) ..but if I could get it up to 130-40 ish I would be happy (happyface) .. but not sure if what i've added to my car will get me a 30 hp increase including a header I will geti n the future.... maybe realistically I can see 20-25 gains? Not exactly sure so if anyone has any opinions on this I would love to hear them.
If it comes down to me not buying a header I will just make the car look nice inside out so atleast I will be enjoying my ride as I get good gas mileage (happyface).
