Intake, Exhast, what's next?

[Cancivicd16]

I have 97 EX with an AEM CAI and a Magnaflow cat-back exhast. What should I do next? High-flow cat, header, or something else. I might be looking at a B16 swap for next summer (not enough money right now). Any suggestions. Does anyone know of a really good header that maintains good low end torque?

Hey man, if i were you i would go with the DC sports SS headers. If you want more bang for the buck hook yourself up with a high flow cat. And since your thinkin of swapin the engine only by parts that will be able to bolt onto the new engine otherwise you just bought those parts for nothin.

just save for the b16. why waste your money on d-series parts when you are going b-series?

1995HondaCivic is right. Save your money for the swap. I did the mistake of getting parts for the "D" series engine, and after I was not happy with the power I was getting I got a B18C1, and I got stuck with the old eng. parts. I sold some on Ebay but for a lot less than what I paid for. Could do some nice mods on the new eng. with the money I spent on the old eng. So good luck. stefan525

Magnaflow is the only catback exhaust I've seen for cheap in Ontario. How does it sound? Is it loud or quiet at low revs? Good ground clearance? Can it rust?

[Cancivicd16]

Although the Magna-flow is the first exhast I'v ever had, I like it compared to some others that I have seen. At low RPM it is silent but a lot louder up higher. It fits my car perfectly and has shown no signs of rust. It used to have a mid-pipe resonator but I chopped it out and am much happier with the power.

As for an engine swap, I still want to mod the D series before I can afford the swap. So my first question is: Can I swap my AEM CAI over to the B16? And does anyone know of a good low end torque header that can be used for both a D and a B series engines?
