Take the lid off your stock airbox, best bang for the buck evar! 0 hp gain. Then testpipe. Slightly better hp gain.
watchdog, you strike me as a person that would not like gears. You are hyper-sensitive to every tiny abnormality your car has. Gears are prone to whining, you will get worse mileage, and you will be cruising around at high rpm's all the time. Gears definitely make the car feel more fun in traffic though.

It's not so much that I a sensitive to abnormalities by themseleves. It just turns out
that most of the time when I notice something abnormal its ends up turning into a warranty claim.
With that being said you are probably right about the gears, I'd more than likely get tired of constant whining. I'm not worried about gas mileage whatsoever though otherwise I would not have considered buying this car.
I just posted this thread to see if there was one item that noticed a considerable gain in hp other than Tubo/supercharger.
Sounds to me like Weight reduction would be a better approach, starting with things like Spare tire, jack, lighter wheels removing soft top etc
