How to make my civic faster and louder for cheap?

I just got my first car it's a 1997 honda civic dx hatch. It's automatic everything is stock just looking for the cheapest ways to make it a little louder and faster.

You can't make it fast for cheap, that actually cost money. You can make it sound like a weedeater for cheap.

You could get a new exhaust system to make it louder but if you wanna make it faster it's gonna cost you.

My advice to you is to quit buying these foreign pieces of **** and get something real American-made

Louder and faster for cheap and not legal for street use cut the exhaust off at the catalytic. Besides that Save your pennies and don't worry about going faster or having a weedeater chasing you. Just do all you can for the general maintenance of the car and keep it around a bit longer. Trust me in a year or so that extra 3 hp you wasted 500 bucks on will want back to fix a transmission or get a set of tires.
