Other than causing lower fuel economy, this will also likely cause added wear on the stock engine internals.

    I've seen many Civics of that generation with 3-inch fart cans that have began spewing smoke. That's a sure sign of unchecked engine wear.

    At the end of the day, everything is relative. It's what floats your boat that matters. Ideally, you would have a primary car that you keep predominantly stock and a project car that you can play around with. If it's your only car, I'd keep it stock as much as possible. Remember that these cars came out of the factory practically de-tuned for long term reliability.

    As a personal car, you can put up with the idiosyncracies of a modded car... but for the wife (and future kids), better if you keep it stock. Also makes it easier to sell later on.
