Easy HP
ive got a 1999 civic dx and i was wondering how to get some easy horsepower. i gave it a general tune up when i got it (oil, spark plugs, cables, distributor) and its muuuuuch better. Its already got a nice air intake (sounds like a beast).

So where else can i snag some easy horsepower? I was thinking about a nice loud muffler. I like noise and 5 or 10 horsepower sounds good.

so...

1) where can i snag easy horsepower from my civic?
2) What are the most common and/or best mufflers? (i like noise)
3) any other tips?

Thanks guys

Re: Easy HP
a nice loud muffler wont do anything except make it sound like youve got more power, ive heard from racing experts that they can actually hurt your performance. you should go ahead and get a full catback exhaust. there is no way to get a lot of cheap HP out of a civic, even making it breath better with full intake and exhaust might only net 20 horses. the most cost effective way of adding horse power is forced induction or nitrious.

turbo the hell out of it and you'll have some power! And that tip isn't going to do anything but make your car sound like a giant mosquito on steriods. If you're going to do anything w/ the exhaust...cut the muffler off and put a straight pipe in it's place.

Re: Easy HP
Like the guys said before, a muffler isnt going to help you. If you want a few more hp and some sound redo your entire exhaust from the header to the cat all the way back. An exhaust is only as efficient as its more restrictive part.

Nothing beats a roots type blower for easy bolt-on power. (Not that its the best way to get power at all, but its quick and to the point)

...that is, if one even exists for your motor.

EDIT: Just checked, they do.

Easy HP
well, exaust system might help a bit. BUT DONT GET ONE OF THOSE WITH LOTS OF NOISE AND BIG MUFFLER WITH IT!!!!!!!!!
because u will lose lot of compression and lose a lil bit of a horse power then gaining alot.
OH why dont u get a ignition control unit? like from MSD? they are good for ur engine to gain 10-15 horses..........
IF u have some money u can swap engines........

HOPE THIS HELPS...............
ASK ME ANY MORE QUESTIONS IF U HAVE ANY.........

You dont lose compression with a free flowing exhaust... you lose backpressure... and that wont affect HP as much as you may lose low end torque if not setup properly...

Re: Easy HP
An ignition control unit will not add 15 hp, it probably won't add any especially on a near stock civic.
