honestly, unless you are gonna build up the internals and then turbo it, that engine is not worth doing much too....90% of the people around here will tell you just to save up your money and swap in a B series engine.

i think 3hp is a little conservative, but you wont get much thats for sure.

i wouldnt say my $450 Apexi WS catback was a colossal waste of money, but it sure didnt do **** for me...

and the dx has the cat built into the header, so aside form swapping in the full EX aftermarket exhaust finding a header is near impossible.

even my lx has that problem.

Just get a universal muffler with custom piping and save yourself some money.
