What to do to the car next?
Extended floor mats? Visor plaques http://teamtadashi.com/visors/ ? Clear diffusers? Clear side markers?
I wouldn't recommend the test pipe. Not only is the smell intolerable but there is a good reason for cats, and high flow cats allow for almost as much flow.

The stereo was the best mod I could have ever done to this car. The stock unit is complete trash and for someone who holds music as one of the biggest interests it's money well spent.
Rota hate is pretty outplayed. They're lighter than the Works they replicate and I'm not going to pass them off as anything they're not.
As for the torque: one can see gains of 20+ ft. lbs over stock in the midrange. And again according to gernby's thread I referenced in the original post a test pipe can be accountable for a large portion of such gains--even over a high-flow cat. Still, I may not bother with it because of the smell.
I might do suspension mods next. I'll have to see how the rims look with stock ride height and decide from there. I'm quite happy with the way the car handles stock with just the Star Specs however. Thanks for the replies so far.

A good exhaust will give it a nice deep sound.
Agreed, the stereo is a good upgrade...considering going with a sub myself in the tool well.
I went big and boosted mine(SOS Stage 1 S/C), and I'll have it soon
I've been spending a boatload of money and will have to wait until May when this month's CC charges are paid before doing anything else.
I did indulge in an ebay OEM steering wheel (the top of mine is messed up due to me having to push against it to get out when I hurt my knees a while back...mostly better now). That was $75 and it seems to be in great shape. Also indulged in a battery tie-down because mine is rusted and the paint is peeling on it. Next will be a blue OEM top, but probably in June.

I agree...I have honestly NEVER noticed my test pipe in the +-25,000 miles its been on. It was worth the money to me and I would buy it again.
Also love my moddiction shift knob.
I would get it tuned if I were you and not worry about the system. I had one for like 3 months and changed my direction with the car and they add soooo much weight to the car.
