Nice job of justifying that mod, but I think it gets harder to justify after a while.

I've got the same disease. I just got loud exhaust 2 weeks ago, and just installed a Breathless Performance vortex rammer. Car feels great,yesterday I got on it on the highway in front of my work so I had a good 0-60 run. The active handling activated at 53 mph!

Unfortunately, I haven't done anything performance wise to the car yet. But, I will keep your rationale in mind when I get around to the go fast stuff.

I took it a bit further... I just thought of what I saved by not buying a Ferrari and that covered everything I needed (almost).

OK,,you THINK you may save about $285 a year on gas,,well that would get you to the break even point in about 5 1/4 years

!! BUT if you figure that you're gonna have fun listening to the "music" when you stand on it, and bam you are -5 to 10 MPG

!! With cool exhaust it is REALLY hard to resist making them "sing"

!! Regardless,,ENJOY!!!!

I like the way you think!! Do you think you could help me justify a supercharger to the fiance? Right now the only thing I had was "I want it and it is my money!!!"
