Ooo! Plenum Spacer. I've been looking into those. How did that work out for you? Isn't that a mod which requires a tune/ecu flash?

I've been wanting to get an exhaust as well, but the extra loudness and cost is what keeps me held back. I want the Stillen one since it has the most stock-like look and sound (it sounds exactly like stock except at high RPM full throttle). Too bad its 1200 bucks.

I have this thing about keeping a stock look - I don't want to break it as the cops hassle you a lot less if they think your car has 0 mods.

And as for Stillen, their headquarters is about 15 minutes from where I live. So I just take it there for stuff like brake service (and soon, clutch service). They cost 1/2 as much as OEM and I get better products in return. Their work is very exceptional and I've always been pleased. My rear swaybar broke at one point and when I brought the car in for new front pads they replaced it free of charge.

PS. You'll want too look into the Stillen Engine Damper Mount and the lightweight Pulleys. I felt no perceived loss in driveability but the engine spooled up so much quicker. Engine vibrations are slightly reduced at high throttle inputs too.
