Possible first mod
I have store credit at a shop nearby from when I had my Accord. I had bought a Megan Racing suspension and a strut bar, but the strut bar was on hold. So now I have 60-100 bucks on credit, can't quite remember how much. I'm thinking of maybe doing some type of mod on my '06 sedan. I'll pitch in a tad bit of money if needed for the part I need to get if I decide to get something. Just looking for ideas of what are the least expensive mods available, whether its for looks, performance, etc.

I like the clear corners idea, not sure about the z-tube though. I had CAI on my Accord before and I liked the sound of it, but unfortunately my gf didn't. How much does the z-tube and pop charger affect the sound of the vehicle?
As for the plenum spacer, I noticed there are different sizes. Seems like the Motordyne 5/16" is what mostly everyone goes with. Should I stick with this if I go this route?
I actually had an '08 G35 as a loaner car while mine was getting a new radiator at the dealership and I can significantly tell the difference in power. That additional 26 HP made a HUGE difference. I'm considering something that will gain me some power and get my G to be a little faster and not too expensive. What mod should I consider in that situation?

Z-Tube will give a deeper growl on heavier acceleration. JWT Pop Charger will give you a nice lil' whistling noise on heavier acceleration. Quite frankly, I love the Z-Tube + JWT Pop Charger combo.

Hmm, been looking more into posts and it seems the way to to is the Motorodyne 5/16" with the MREV2. It's a tad more than what I'd like to spend from what it seems, but I'm willing to drop the money on it if need be.
I noticed on MD's website they talking about the differences between an engine with and without REV-UP. I'll look into that shortly but a short answer version, what and how do you get the REV-UP?
Thanks for all the input as well.

10 or 11, either way it's the single biggest boost in Hp you can get with a simple mod (by simple i mean not turbochargers and stuff like that) and the feedback is really positive, people seem to love their spacers

i have a z-tube and pop charger installed. Sounds nice and not too loud.
Just buy a used z-tube to save $$$! just make sure there are no holes on the tube
I started off with the JWT + Z-Tube. It sounded ok but then I needed more. I then upgraded to the HKS rear section muffler, and that sounded great (all for sound). Now I'm deployed and I was bored and ordered the MD 5/16 spacer, my wife received it home. I can't wait to go on R&R and have it installed to see what all the hype was about. I've heard all good stuff about now I get to see if it was all fluff or if it really puts out. Damn september is a long ways away
