Get a cold air intake and a tuning device like Hondata or Ktuner.

Unless you're looking for extreme power, an aftermarket exhaust isn't really necessary imo, I got a muffler delete and it sounds the same if not better than for example an MAPerformance Street exhaust, though stock pipes are 2.25 i believe and the AM pipes are 2.5 or bigger, but I don't think it's really necessary unless big numbers are looking to be had. The Sport hatch i believe is CVT, so big numbers wouldn't be that good of an idea anyways.

For the engine, a CAI (PRL has the best imo), maybe an intercooler + charge pipes depending on where you live and what ITA temps you're getting, a tune would definitely liven up the car a bit, maybe a catch can to help down the road if you want.

Consider a front strut bar and a rear sway bar + end links. Sirimoto has a good FSTB for around $110, and $150 for either Whiteline or Eibach 22mm 2 way adjustable RSB, and just order 2 aluminum accord endlinks from hondapartsnow.com. The Whiteline adjustable end links I found to be too much of a hassle and not worth the $140 that they cost, and the accord end links do just as well at 10% the price.

The Sport Hatchback comes in 6MT as well.

Is it the 2.0 NA engine then?
If so, then there's not as much power potential.

Comes in either 2.0 NA or 1.5T, the 1.5T is more common from what i've seen.

If you search the forums here you can find others who are running a tune on the CVT. but most recommend not taking to too far to keep from damaging the transmission.

Yea I wasn’t looking for too much power I was already thinking just the intake and exhaust and then focus on the cosmetics of my car color, rims, ect. And for the exhaust I don’t want it too loud because I ride around with a friend and his Mazda is straight piped I think and u can’t even have a conversation in the car cuz it’s so loud
