Hey What’s Up Guys Traded that crap 95 Accord in for a 07 Civic Si Sedan. Ive been looking for an intake (cant decide on CAI or SRI) and a good BUT affordable catback for it. Takeda Short Ram claims to produce 17hp (going by dyno charts) but I really dont know. I dont drive the car in the winter at all but I do drive in the rain. K&N is way too expensive. Haha. But I have been looking at OBX (2.36") & Megan (2.25") 'cause they are affordable but still a bit iffy. I dont want an exhaust thats gonna make my Si sound like my 94 Civic Ex auto (daily driver and winter car). But also not paying $800 for a name. Need some help people. All advice is much appreciated. ---

2.36" exhaust seems like a weird measurement to me, lol. ---

I would go with the SRI. Easier to change/clean the filter, because I’m pretty sure you have to take off the bumper to install the CAI. Also, personally I like Short rams more, since you can hear the engine way more. As for exhaust I would go for something more stock looking. But those are just my opinions 😃 ---

Maybe talk to Paul at swervemotorsports and see what kind of prices he can get for you. He sells quite a few Honda parts and he knows that car well as he owns one too. ---
