I need some advice on what performance accessories to add to my 92' DX 1.5 sohc. So far I have a short ram foam intake,MSD 8.5 mm wires.

I was thinking of a magna flow exhaust pipe,I dont want a loud exhaust note as the PoPo around here are crackin down on illegal mods!

Whats the next best mods I can do to squeek a lil more juice out of the rice steamer?? Thanks

swap / boost or juice. Everything else is a waste of money.

head swap, ex transmission, lightweight flywheel. As far as exhaust, apexi world sport or rsr ex-mag are high flow with a quiet tone.

I believe the d16z6 is the one you want. Pick a better exhaust than the magnaflow. Try Apex they have silencers that attach to the muffler to keep the dbs down.

exhaust and intake are just plumbing. They are not power mods, they are responce mods. If you want real power than you have to upgade your internals. Save your money and buy something worth it.
