check out my setup/give me suggestions

[speed2000i]

hi i currently have a 96 b18c1 and was looking to buy i/h/e, with an eventual n/a setup in mind. of course i have used to serach button, but u can somehow never find exactly what your looking for. anyways here is the setup i was thinking of along with some questions:

aem CAI for type r
skunk2 intake manifold
jdm itr header
carsound cat
exhaust?? im kinda stuck here i was looking at either the stock itr systerm with work done at the bottleneck, or possibly a buddy club spec 2. i want something pretty stock looking, but with a great flow design.

another question i have is that if i get a carsound cat and my jdm header, i hear there will be some welding involved, and also work that might need to be done on the bottleneck of my itr exhaust system. does anyone know how much this would cost??

Any cold air is good- you should look into PRM intakes check them out at PRMracing.com.

Skunk2 intake mani would only serve the purpose of getting rid of the dual butterfly system the C1 has, i would say that you should spend that money on something else, like add it to your exhaust found.

Jdm ITR header is fine, but you could get the DC JDM ITR header for cheaper and get a little better results out of it.

Carsound are good cats and in most people's eyes they are better then test pipes(niose wise).

IF you want a good exhaust that has great flow look into getting Hytech, its about 800 bones just for the exhaust but well worth it. If you have the money get the hytech exhaust and header. It is 2,200.00 but well worth it. they made 27whp with out tuning on an itr( i believe), that is one impressive exahust. If that is too much cash(i know it is for a lot people). i would say go with apexi or skunk2, they are not stock looking but they have great flow and no bottle necks. Oh you could get the Kakimoto-R exhaust it is qiuet and looks pretty stock with good flow, its about 700 with shipping.

AS for using itr exhaust i would say go with soemthing else but that is just my thoughts.

I hope this helps.
