there's a thing called turbo. with a pipe that is not more than 2 inches you'll have bad restriction. don't compare your 8 cylinder to 4 cylinders. it doesn't make sense. if honda wanted to build an 8 cylinder car, they would've. and it'll beat whatever car you're talking about with a little thing called V-TEC. plus it'll even have better gas mileage than your mundane car. everyone hates you!!! go learn about imports off of yahoo or something.
