A Header on this car is not an option because the stock manifold has the cat on it. any old header for a 92-95 civic won't fit. The CAI might help out a little in HP, And I can't see it hurting MPG.

looks like no cat, it came with it, still gets awsome mpg, but it dosnt seem to bog down to much at higher rpm

teal you should check out around post #25 about putting a cx tranny in the HX and getting 50 mpg easy

but all and all if you want to go fast get a Z6 or a b-series

I just ditched the CVT tranny for a manual. I've been driving it for 200+ miles so far, and my fuel gauge is almost down to 1/2 tank :woot:
I should see what tranny put in there, I think it is a dx/lx. 50 MPG would be awesome
