I didnt think the intake was that big of a mistake, I mean it adds cool sound and it feels like it breathes better up past 8000 rpms......just like K&N said it would, lol. I wasnt expecting 13's from buying an intake.

Pulleys are a waste of money. If you REALLY want to help your car in the long run, you should be looking at Mazmart's new water pump. I know that doesn't sound NEARLY as Cool as a pulleys but your car will definitely thank you in the long run.
Is yours a manual? If so, you need a short shifter.

do I seem like an AT type of fellow!? Haha, yea its a manual, my next mod is between a midpipe and a short shifter. LOL, new poll, which of those two should I do next? My next comission check is on the 5th, at that time I will be buying more crap for my car. What do u guys think should be next?

u'll fail emissions test with a midpipe plus the smell of the fumes is obnoxious.
save up for an aftermarket exhaust, you gain ~5hp and your car will sound better
or you can get a supercat (~5hp) which costs half the price of a cat-back system

the smell isnt that bad, to me i dont notice it until i get outa my car then you can smell it but its not like. omg! the smell its killing me! maybe im just used to mine but i dont even notice much ne more.

i think it's worth it since you literally can't burn it unlike a supercat which needs replacement.
i'd recommend Mazsport's dual resonated midpipe. it's the most quiet among the bunch.
costs more than a supercat though.. with the same price you could get a used aftermarket exhaust.

ill look into that, sound doesnt bother me though so Ill probably just get one that isnt resonated, lol. Catbacks just dont seem worth it to me, I mean all that money for sound, they do sound nice though

^^^......sound AND looks. The stock exhaust looks like it should be on an Accord. Sorry but it is dinky in comparison to what is wrapped around them. To see the sporty RX-8 and see the little, skinny pipes coming out the back.... its kind of like lookin across the bar, seeing an attractive female wit nice rack, and when she comes around the corner you see she has chicken legs and no ***. Eh, but i guess everyones opinions vary!
