I have a stock 92 Prelude SI, yes its the 2.3 with no vtec. It is completely stock and has 148k miles on it. I'm wondering if adding a cold air intake, headers, and an full exhaust would be too much for the car to handle. Any additional advice on how to make it faster would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
And by exhaust I mean like a downpipe.
It should handle it fine. I bought my 93 Prelude Si with 130k miles. Stock when I got it and since then I've added CAI, headers, catback exhaust, short throw, front & rear strut bars and more. Car now has 213k miles and runs mostly fine. Just beware of the oil pan gasket, ignition switch and abs sensors crapping out at some point. Those are the only things that failed on me in 4 years. Keep up with the preventive maintenance(oil changes, spark plugs+wires) and the major tune ups(timing belt, water pump, etc). The h23a1 engine and manual tranny are bulletproof.
