what is the end result of HP/Torque for a 2.0l with a CAI, exhaust, and Ktuner? I know original is 158 hp @ 6500 rpm and 138lb-ft @ 4200 rpm. So just curious as to how much all of the add ons/aftermarket stuff increased performance!

One day, RV6 may actually release the downpipe to the open public.

One day....
Ahhh so excited for this downpipe! RV6 did say by January they'll release it...

Curious how much an exhaust really helps.

They did say they might have a batch at the end of the month...\

This intrigues me though... it looks like with the down pipe it catches up to a stock 1.5 turbo... correct? At which point does it become cheaper to jump on a 1.5 and start from there?

I don’t know ...
well a lx is about $19,000
My mods are around
Aem intake $270
Downpipe $400
Tune $300

So all this just get to the 1.5 turbo stock
That costs around $21,000 .. I think it can’t be compared ...the turbo just has more tuning advantage because of the turbo

Sorry, I think I was misunderstood but you are on the right track.
I was trying to get a comparison between an lx 2.0 19,000 + 970 (your mods although ktuner is around 650) = 19,970 (hp = stock 1.5)
vs a stock 1.5 base price ?? (hp = modded lx civic).

I just don't want to drop $$ to get to a base of the same car just a different trim. (excluding the Si and Type R)

Just buy the 1.5 turbo. You’ll spend more money on the 2.0 n/a to achieve the same numbers. Way more money, I’ve done the math already.

Maybe some people just like a good n/a car.
Or maybe it's not all about Dyno sheets.

Well when horse power and torque per dollar is the topic at hand and someone asks what’s more feasible. Which would be the 1.5t. Choose whatever you will.

Thoughts on trade in value for a 1.5l (trading in the 2.0l). Playing around with the idea... Are there any recommended strategies or best ways to do so?
