20 HP increase from CAI and CAT exhaust? What are you smoking?

Did I miss something or did you say you have a 3 &1/2 inch cat back system? As in 3.5 " DIAMETER? High powered turbo cars use 3" exhaust systems...can you even fit that big of a pipe (3.5") under the p5? You would be loosing power with that much diameter...and no where on earth would you get 20+ hp from an intake and exhaust upgrade on a stock NA 2 liter 4 cylinder.
In anycase...Don't want to start a flamewar...but lets keep things honest here...were not talking Hondas
. Welcome to the site...can't wait to see pics of your ride...enjoy the site!

yeah...sorry...as much as i'd like to believe you have 150hp...i'm just not seeing it with a catback and intake...apparently you smokin good though...turbo magazine just did some dynos with muffler and intake...they saw maybe 10hp i think...you have a better intake so maybe...MAYBE 1 hp more...
Sorry Dude there is no way your getting 20hp form simple bolt on's I used to have a Honda Civic. It had a all kinds of goodies on it and I never got 20 hp from a intake and exhaust. I was going to go turbo but I decided to get a mp5 instead I plan on going turbo on this car 4sure as soon as I get some $$$$$. By the way my civic gould keep up with the 2.2 dohc engine. But there was no way I could pass one. And this car is not as fast as my civic.....At least not yet...hahahaha...anyways welcome to the best damm forum out there.

Oklet me clearify .. i have not ever tested the car on a dyno .. but according to the box alone on the Injen CAI it shows the dyo results for a Mazda Portege and it peaks out at 150 Hp @ 5500 RPs so I took that with a grain of salt since i have the Cat back ... also to reply tothe others abotu the civic and prelude .. my 1993 Honda Prelude .. hit 0-60 in 4.9 with all my stuff on it and that was with out NOZ or ZEX ect .. and i have the video to prove it .. I mena i have a guy here in town that runs a Honda Civic Hatchback that can eat a Viper .. and if you allare not sure of that either .. go to TeamKLR.com now i will be the first to admit that the MP5 that I have is slow as piss compared to lots of my other cars .. but i only mentioned that HP due to what was labled on teh box of the CIA and also the fact that i have been nose to nose with a civic .. so i am not here to start s*** .. HEHE just hear to have fun

Try Pep Boys. They are made by Motegi Racing ( http://www.motegiracing.com/main.asp ), the same guys that make the Ro Ja line of rims. They aren't the lightest rims out there, but for the price you can't really beat them. They also come in white and gunmetal and in sizes from 14 x 6 to 18 x 7.
but I personally like these that they make the best

All right I've seen that you've been getting bunch of s*** about mod this and horsepower that so I'm going to stay away from the MP5 stuff. But this??? Come on? I've got a 92 Prelude Si which is the same as the 93 Prelude Si (non-vtech H23A) and there is no way in hell that the car can do 0 - 60 in 4.9 seconds. Turbo, NOS and a bunch of head work later maybe. But it's just not going to happen without the car being on the gas and force fed.

I bet the 0-60 of 4.9 was with stock tires too.
I saw on some trick tuners tv show late one night, a Civic that could run the quarter mile faster than most motorcycles, but it had turbo, NOS and fat racing slicks on the front.
I am happy with a stock engine P5, but I have 3 young kids that demand my time and money.

"Probably had a Ferrari engine under the hood, too"
It was all for the dragstrip, but pretty cool none the least. The show is on Speedvision now and then on Sunday nights if I remember correctly. Some pretty cool cars.
