Question of the month
Q Since you guys are the ones in the know, I need your advice on a couple of things. I drive (not yet own) an '02 RSX Type-S. I say "drive" because I'm still paying for the damn thing and won't officially own it 'til 2011. I want to get intake, headers and exhaust long before then. If it's not too much trouble, could you advise me as to what is, hands down, the best of each that I could get? People I talk to don't agree on any brand or type. Like I said, you guys are the ones to ask. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.RobertVia the Internet
A Your question is sweet because it reminds us of hanging out at a ramen shop and debating what body kit is best, and what we always thought was the one that best fit within your budget! I think that the overall goal of your car and how much money you have to spend will be the biggest two factors in your horsepower-to-budget ratio. When purchasing any intake for your car, make sure to buy a CARB-approved unit, because the first thing the Man looks at is your intake, and if it's legal he will probably stop there. AEM (www.aempower.com) makes great products and most are 50-state street legal. Exhaust systems are like women; there are a whole lot of them and every man has a different taste! It's hard to say that everyone would agree on how one should tune a car and that is the lesson to be learned here. There are so many "best" options out there that it's hard to pick one.
