Ok, I know this was semi talked about before. I dont have much cash, and its coming in slowly, so I want to know, what ghetto-ness can I do to my car to make it loud [like cutting off the bottom half of your stock air filter box, good or bad?] and at least a little more powerful. [91 civic lx stock]
Also if ya'll have pics or stories of doing ghetto crap to your cars, post it, I'd like to see what I can do lol.

you can just take out the airbox and put a cone filter on the stock intake tubing.

You could take you're muffler off like he said.. but that might get you more attention from cops than you'll like , lol. Depending on where you live I guess.. you could also punch out your cat =)

Chop the airbox in half, you only have to leavea about an inch of the bottom part, where the mounting holes are. Otherwise, chop it.
Between a modded airbox with K&N drop-in filter and a e-bay intake I ran better times with the chopped airbox.

Hmm you could loosen the bolts between the exhaust pipes. Take off the rear section, or there always is the drill which is an option!!!

i've been driving around with no muffler for about a week now. took the old one off, then decided to go swimming instead of putting the new one on, and i just haven't had time to put it on, gives a nice sound and more pep

Basically, yes. The box is still mounted where it originally was. Basically I cut off the bottom half, below the filter, with the exception of one of the mounting points. I left that connected. It's not a half bad mod...

It was the first thing I did to my car, and really just as good as a shorty air intake.
