Default What To Do To A 05' Civic

I have an 05' Civic...so Far I just put a K&N Cold Air intake. I live in Houston but travel to Laredo a lot. So I was wondering what I could do to it. Nothing to waste too much gas seeing as I travel a lot.

welcome to the forum. Exhaust headers to tail pipe, crank pulley, light rims.

Where does everyone go to get parts? I've been going to Advance Auto Parts and the such... and as for the rims, it came with some 17" Enkei, with actually a pretty thick tirewall. I can put the dimensions of it later. But I live in Houston, and as for light rims, I'm REALLY scared to crack them. Also, I'm a medical student soooo I'm kinda on the no $ side =P

check out ebay, they have a lot of good parts, also performance shops selling Honda parts. compare prices and quality. Make sure med school comes first. car mod's can be done after you get your practice or working in a hospital. Then you can afford an acura top of the line and have someone else put performance parts in for you.

My father wants me to get a whole new exhaust system. He thinks that's the best for me to do next. Like when ya'll decide on a part, how do you know which brand you want?

sometimes there are comments or posts in the forum's about a particular brand, example would be, i found out that dc type headers (chrome) cracked at the flange a lot about 2 years ago, but now the weld seems to be heavier. ( read in a forum ) Just need to do some internet research. You can purchase a whole kit for a lot less.

www.wheelfire.com

I am a student myself and low on $$$$, I plan on purchasing my rims from this site, they have wheel and tire packages! Depending on the size, type, brand, etc. of rims you want you can get all 4 rims with all 4 tires for under/around $1,000.

So I'm thinking of getting a new exhaust system. I don't want it too loud. That's the last thing I want to hear at 8 in the morning. But I want it to have a little noise. Any suggestions?
