Best performance upgrade is the driver. That would be you in this case.

Drop about the same as you would pay for the exhaust and the CAI into a Skip Barber course, and I can guarantee you will pick up performance. Not so much in a straight line, but on the twisties which is where it matters. Any damn fool can go fast in a striaght line - all it takes is money and a lead foot. Going fast in the corners is where you can scare the sh!t out of your wife and pass all those annoying farts in powerful cars who can't drive them properly.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
