    Most of what I posted are "breathing" mods. Your engine can exhale better but it has to inhale before exhaling.

    Changing the muffler with a freeflow version will help increase power but you have to match it with intake upgrade too.

    you said match it with proper engine inhaling, is the K&N intake upgrade enough? or do i have to go for a CAI upgrade?

    for the meantime, a simple K&N cone intake will do for the intake.

    Pwede rin chambered muff so that the noise will be a bit lesser and will be evident mostly on high speed/high rpm's.

    My custom made freeflow mufflers are designed to look stock but internally freeflow with matching internal piping diameter for the engine displacement of the car. Low noise at low rpm, louder at high rpm. Understated look.

    umm fixstop is well know shop for honda upgrades. they do engine swaps, upgrade and the basic repair. sa HCP, they are well recommended and ive seen their work.

    since d15b ang platform, they can also do wonders on your engine. from programmable ECU, engine, and suspension... they are well experienced. try visitng them along mindanao ave. and see what they can offer.

    simple upgrades like Intake, Headers, Exhaust is a piece of cake with them.

    EDIT: i think youll find that they (fixstop) are "budget friendly"
