I read that changing the header and exhaust will cause in low end torque but increase in horsepower (which isn't worth it). true?

Could I just get an AEM intake and an Exhaust or ALL 3 must be changed together.

You will have little power gains with intake, header, exhaust setup.

You dont have to buy the parts all at once. You can make a priority list, save money, and then buy one at a time.

Happy modding

If you are looking at changing all three, then depending on what brand you want to go with, you may want to save up to get them all at once.

As there are minimal gains from upgrading any of them, it really doesn't matter if you get one at a time.

Really, they are all just designed to help the engine breath better.

All they really do is move the "power" that you already have to different ranges in the engines "power-band" You won't feel an increase of hp but you may see a very tiny bump of hp on a dynograph (not much if any). The only time you will see a substantial increase in power with i/h/e is on a built motor, not a little gas saving accord. Anyone who says different probably also thinks their accord is a race car.
