Ok so finally got some parts on the way for modding. I have a yonaka 2.5" cat back exhaust, cheep resonator/Test pipe, OBD1 P72 and jumper harness, Skunk 2 intake manifold, Skunk 2 cast 66mm throttle body and an ITR intake tube and box. I want to get a header but need something that will work with the stock cat, stainless and be around $400 or less and have a 2.5" outlet. I wanted a Skunk 2 header or the yonaka but both say don't work with a cat and I want my car to stay as quiet as possible. Want something that's a direct bolt on. Also have a skunk 2 short shifter with energy suspensions bushings that I have been waiting to install tell I got the parts for the exhaust so I could do it all at once. Also want to do a Blox clutch master cylinder to shorten the clutch pedal travel as well.
Future mods besides the above will be ITR transmission, hondatta S300, stage 1 cams, traction bar and stiffer motor mounts. I don't plan on porting head or raising compression and am just trying to make car funner to drive. I drive 200 miles to work a week. Hondatta might happen this summer but the transmission and cams will probably be next spring. Also planning on Koni yellow shocks, ITR springs, some other suspension and maybe brake mods down the road.
Looks like I will just do a drop in filter. Will see how I feel about the intake after I do the exhaust system.
