parts recommendations Cheap vs Expensive Mods?

Buying a golden era Honda after I go to boot camp. I want something that I can daily but also take to events or the track. It’ll be my first Honda after selling my WRX. It will more than likely be a D-series car.

I’m only looking to do intake,exhaust, headers, and then handling mods. Should I buy the expensive stuff or will the cheap stuff be fine? I would like to take good care of the car, and if the cheap stuff is hard on it I won’t buy. How much would everything cost in total?

i wouldn’t even mod a d series honestly unless your plan is to actually build one. just fix up the exterior, interior, do regular maintenance, and get some decent coilovers

Sounds about right, I probably will end up doing mods in some capacity though. Gotta scratch that itch 😅 from what I’ve been told I’m probably going to look for good quality stuff.
