The fine line between performance and effeciency
So I've got a 98 Civic 1.6L SOHC. Its totally stock and I feel like making some changes but am primarly concerned with fuel costs. I also wouldn't want to do something that upon any type of inspection is deemed not str33tlegal.
How much difference in fuel consumtion would things like a new exaust and a new air intake make?
What I really want is the cheeziest civic out there. I want to make my stock exhaust look like a duel exhaust. One side would be working and the other would shoot out cooked rice! That would be bomb guy yo.

for the last part.... your messed up

what are you kidding about that last part?
your gas mileage will barely change, and if you're like most people getting an exhaust is really just a fancy word for "im buying a muffler"..in which case its just going to make your car loud and annoying ...perfect mix for getting a ticket.

You people are f@%*ed.
I had heard good things about this board but it seems like maybe theres a bit too much ego here.
Ok so far I've learned Steve_Leitner has no sense of humour and takes things a bit serious and stock94block can't read.
stock94block - as I already stated I'm thinking of getting a new exhaust - from the header right back - and I also said I don't want a loud muffler. Maybe I should have used some cute emoticons in my post but I didn't see any smiley faces reading the full thread before commenting.
I love my car but I want more performance from it. Not knowing much about this I'd assume an intake and exhaust would be a good start, but wouldn't want to do anything that I'll notice at the pumps.
