Default new pr0ud owner of ap2

Hello guys/gals, well i just purchase a 2005 seb. silv. s2000 this past week. I would like some suggestion regarding performance parts for the car. I am not familiar with the F series, their potiential, and so fort. I previous owned a turbo integra gsr so speed is not really something im looking into as of yet. Well, regarding performances, i would like to know what bolt on parts would make the vtec scream louder in the F series and would make a little gain in HP. IHE? notable brands etc? Thanks in Advance. Looking foward in learning all about the Honda s2000. Will post pictures as soon as i snap some.

Hahaha. Expensive in terms of what amount? I had a gsr and before the turbo setup i had ctr cams IHE, IM and chip ecu and the vtec was loud. I was wondering, without spending much money on ecu, IM, etc, would basic bolt on of intake or header would make the vtec scream louder? I do not want to add exhaust due to attraction to COPS in CA!!!

Yup, and no, there's nothing wrong with it

taking the lid off the airbox will cause the car to ingest hotter air than it would otherwise. I'd suggest putting it back on.
