Performance over looks first. I first took out my catalytic converter and replaced it with a power flow, got a large exhaust for it, and that's already for stage 1. With those in place I was able to beat most stock cars already. Then I put in a good race air filter and intake, then high tension wires and the spark plugs to go along with it. With those in place, I can easily take on most modded cars. My next target is to change headers, put in a stabilizer bar, then something new which my friend told me known as a power jet, which basically adds 40% more power and at the same time saves you 20% fuel. He said it works real well, and his car has actually gone faster with it. The only thing that I added to my car's looks are the new windshield nozzles with the lights, only mine have the wires not put in since I find the lights to not really enhance the car. And I only put in the new nozzles because the stock ones are easily taken off, and actually the driver's nozzle already fell off, so I was forced to buy new nozzles. And I put in a windshield visor--not the sporty ones. There's too many of them out there already. I decided to be unique and put in my favorite anime character, so I'm the only one I am aware of who has it.

I think this whole notion of 'cat back = performance' is hilarious. All a cat back exhaust does is change the noise your car makes. It makes sweet fuck all power difference. So please, responders to this thread, stop crapping on about "performance first", because a cat back exhaust isn't going to give him that. The pathetic 1-5hp gain can barely be felt in seat of the pants acceleration in day to day driving and doesn't even remove the most restrictive part of a Civics exhaust (the stock manifold). I have to agree with the body kit last, though. So in conclusion, wait until you can afford to get a good air box, performance filter, full headers, high flow cat and exhaust. Then get it all at once!

For the guy that was asking what is the best header, go get a Landspeed Powercore headers. One of Iport Tuners top ten performance parts of last year.

I too am performance before show. I used to love the show scene with body kits and I don't mind tasteful type kits.

But now I'd rather have performance over looks.
