welcome

looks like you already have aftermarket mufflers.

its just a matter of preference and your price range mostly. most exhaust and intake products arent going to vary too much in differences, other than the tone of your catback, or the style of your exhaust tips(which is all your preference).

be careful what you buy on ebay...some can be good or bad...as you probably already know

but, yes, do search and read and use RIZZ'Z link page...they will help greatly

the pics look good to me

yes those pipes are connected to it...the filter in the center replaces your stock filter on the side...notice the 2 open vents on the right and left of the filter? usualy the pipes dont come with the filter kit...only the filter and filter adapter, you can also take a look at the STILEN filter kit too...http://www.stillen.com/product_detail.aspx?sku=402900

so i noticed when you posted in yeahiwonder's thread about the exhaust, but its mine mine mine lalalala, jk. but 4 real its mine. lol. but i like that exhasut little bendds good flow, good sound i think.and i love the styling. and knowing peopal with hondas and only knowing of one with a GSR turbo integra, all the others are jokes. so welcome, and dont crash. i hit a curb the othernight and threw off my alignment, but thats cause i switched my tires put my sports on, and its been raining like a ****.

Wow your interior looks nice! i love it. Paint looks perfect as well.

Start with your basic Mods:
Pop Charger, Exhaust, Test pipes, ECU upgrade, Underdrive pullies, Headers...no particular order. Its all personal preference and how fat your wallet is for which you choose to do first.

you could get a decent amount done for $1500, if you install the parts yourself.

If you want brand names look into places like Stillen, JWT, AMZ, Z1
