600 isnt enough for a exhaust, you can get a intake, plenum and test pipes all for about 600 or soo?

i'd say get a intake and maybe some Highflow cats or test pipe depending on your budget

A nice exhaust will cost you more than $600 and an intake would only run you 250 for a good one... I'd say get an intake and a plenum spacer - The total would come to right around $600 installed if you get the right deals.

I'd recommend each I have in my sig - I love them.

I think the first mod for any car should be lowering springs or coilovers. Since you got $600, pick up Tein S-Tech for about $150 shipped, then install the rear yourself, and pay another $50 to have the fronts installed. Lowering a car is the single most awesome mod you can do for it's appearance, you get the aggressive look and at the same time it opens the door for body kits and wheels, because body kits and wheels on stock height is a huuuuuuge NO NO!
I hope you take my suggestion into serious consideration.

If you have $600 and that's it I would get springs, intake and sway bars. If you shop around you might be able to get them for that price.

The *FIRST* upgrade you should get is a good set of tires... springs and sway bars won't do anything for you without grip.

With your next $600, get what ttrank said.

get a spacer and an mrev.

throw a k&n drop in filter in your air box and save yourself 200 as intakes do nothing.

do not get an intake, save yout money and go with a set of higher gears and call it a day. Then do exterior mods. Unless you go turbo, take it from us guys that have a lot of $$$ in NA parts...its too costly for what small gains you will get.

Couldn't have said it better myself. When you have a 4-cylinder Honda an intake will do a lot for you, but it won't do much on these cars. Honestly, the answer to your question depends on the condition of your car. If you need tires or any work done to it, take care of that first.

If I had $600-$700 to spend on my car I would get a Pioneer AVIC-D3 dual din cause navigation is the only thing my car doesn't have. But it depends on what you want. Plus, $600 won't get you a nice exhaust setup IMO. I would go with something like the HKS which is a far cry from $600. Again, it's all about what you want and the condition of your car.

I would reccomend you save your money, because $600 will not get you anything that great. But if you must...plenum spacer, z tube, and intake.
