Im leaning more towards blue, but where would i go about getting these hoses and how much would this cost about?
Also, I was at the Honda dealership the other day to get a new cabin filter and in like the cases for performance items was a nice purple colored valve cover that looked really nice!

On OUR cars stb's don't do anything. Most FWD cars will benefit from one, but there really isn't a difference with the S. Anything that people experience from one is probably placebo.
And backpressure isn't necessarily a myth, its just not the correct word. You want the largest exhaust exit possible, while still maintaining a good velocity. The smaller the tube the faster the velocity, to a point. "Backpressure" is the ignorant persons way of saying you need to balance the amount of air escaping the engine by making sure you have a large enough exhaust pipe, but not too large or the velocity of the air drops.

After seeing a stock internal B16 make power EVERYWHERE in the powerband with a 3" exhaust, I've ruled out exhaust velocity; in the exhaust anyways. I've actually talked to a couple tuners, one has a bachelors in Engineering, and the both said that everything after the collector is a restriction, sense the last place for exhaust velocity to increase is at the collector.
Black wire loom FTW!
