wow so much positive feedback 
but some of them speak truth... sohc vtec the most you'll ever get (unless you boost it) is the ability to hear it scream... you won't feel anything, but it'll get louder alright...

Eh. Listen to this positive feedback eh?
Due to the lack of aftermarket support and that horrible down draft style manifold on D17, your only options for more power are either Boost or K Swap. Any other mods will make it louder not faster.

Best bet is to do the standard bolt ons - intake header and exhaust, this will give you noise, but really not much more power. On a Civic, you best bet in increasing the fun factor of your car is to upgrade your suspension parts (the 2002 had problems in suspension anyway).

if you want to squeeze the most out of vtec, get a vtec controller and set your vtec to kick at 2000rpm
