I also want a bit more sound out of the exhaust. The only other upgrade I think I'm looking at now is getting a ignition kit for it from somewere like BHR... Any thoughts in the exhaust?

i mid pipe may, give you 8hp. 5 would be a better bet. and it is going to be loud. a few exceptions exist.. the cats really dont clog unless you flood the car..

i am running a hi flow cat. cant stand the cel or the smell without one. btw, i would do a cat back before i would do a mid pipe.

Ignore the fucktards .... some people have nothing better to do than be dicks .

As far as mods .... For the most part as already stated, go with the midpipe and bhr coils. BHR flywheel is also a nice upgrade. Those seemed to yield the best result of the stuff i've tried so far. If you have a series 1 ... i'm told the Cobb AP is great, but i can't speak from experience since i have a series 2 ... No AP for mine.

I'd also recommend improving what this car excels at .... handling .... some sway bars and S Tein springs . Car 's tough to Pull HP out of without FI . Good luck ... it's a fun car !
