Hello, My 2018 Honda civic Ex-t is stock. I want to upgrade my performance. I was wondering what should i start with? for cold air intake i was thinking of PRL Cobra Cold Air Intake (racing edition). Would you guys recommend for me to upgrade my inter cooler as well.?

I think you need a tune with the racing cai anyway. Iā€™ve seen tons of similar threads (improving performance) and the most popular response has always been a tune. Most bang for your buck when starting out.
yea i did see a lot of threads too.

There's a lot of mix review for the tune and performance some just got a tune that doesn't make a difference in performance and others feel a performance. Just a hard decision to decide.

It's not the "racing edition" it's the Race MAF version. The difference between the Street and Race MAF versions are that one (the street) doesn't need a tune while the other (the race) includes a bigger MAF housing and thus requires a tune to adjust for the increased air flow.

If you ever plan on getting a ktuner/hondata, you should get the race version IMO but you cant run the race version without it.
