Hello

The intake looks shady, so I wouldn't buy it. Installation should be under 15 minutes if you do buy it, and you can do it yourself.

The mufflers are funny. 10 horsepower? No way. Just for that, I wouldn't even buy them. I can say that the N1 muffler is REALLY loud on Civics/Integras. Too buzzy if you ask me. Installation can be done at a muffler shop for probably 70 bucks if you buy one of those fart cans.

The chip is junk. There is no "magic chip" for the Protege. You'd need to reprogram the ECU, or just replace it with a custom ECU to see any worthwhile gains from such a mod. That's easily a few hundred bucks.

Thank you, drive through.
