If you're NA you won't/can't use a downpipe. If you're turbo a downpipe is more of a necessity rather than an option. as far as other mods to do you can do an aftermarket header since you've done your intake and the rest of your exhaust, or you can start doing suspension mods, coilovers etc...haven't heard of a unichip but from the description it sounds like an ecu/tuning device...Personally if I were doing anything ECU wise to my car I'd go with something more well known (emanage ultimate or vafc etc), not to be on any sort of bandwagon but because I'd rather have an ecu device that more people would be able to tune and tune well. But again I dont know much if anything about the unichip so maybe you already know enough to tune it or have someone do it for you.
Headers is something to add to my list.
The Unichip is quite popular over here - and you find more tuners for them than for after market ECU's. From my understanding, its a piggyback system.

A header is a conduit or pipe into which other conduits or pipes open. I.e., a pipe with more than one other pipe connected.
So technically, a "header" for our car is comprised of three "headers", so the terms can be used interchangeably

Still an impressive feet though... Bugatti does hold top spot for 0-300km/h doesn't it? (might of dropped spots since launch).
You are correct, the Bugatti Veyron is now 2nd on that list

^ yup... as more and more little kids parents buy them used S2000s ... son of a bitch. Heads up S2ki, honda-tech kids are coming aboard.
Oh and **** the veyron the only thing impressive about it is its active aero... I can make a civic faster than a veyron in a straight line for a mere fraction of the price, than i can build another car to handle better than it for another small fraction of its price... and even if i still havnt been satisifed i can go out and buy a couple super cars and still have some change go gas up and go out to eat.
