Modifying a vehicle
is a great way to personalize your car and increase its speed. To make your Honda Accord faster, try these tips:
  • Shop for an aftermarket exhaust. By having a larger-diameter exhaust installed, it will help make the engine run more efficiently and thereby generate more power.
  • Install a cold air intake. Replace the stock airbox with a cold air intake to keep the engine cool. This will improve the throttle response and horsepower.
  • Modify the suspension. Consider lowering and stiffening your car’s suspension to help improve performance.
  • Supercharge or turbocharge the engine. This is an expensive option, but it is also very effective. This process involves forcing more air into the engine to create more power.
Before you modify the performance of your vehicle, check with your insurance provider. They may require you to have additional coverage for modifications.
Some insurance companies may not allow major performance changes, as making them would put your vehicle in the borderline street racing category. If you make the modifications anyway, your provider may terminate your auto policy.
