Next Engine Mod?

Looking for my next mod that will give the most bang for the buck - engine only mod suggestions please and looking to stay under $500. After doing all my reseach I only come up with HFC Cats or the Gourdees 10-wire Kit.

Any other suggestions????

I say get the TS reflash. It makes the most of the mods you already have and definitely makes the car more lively due to improvement of the pedal to throttle feel. HF cats, even the best of them, are prone to some degree of rattle or rasp. And you're going to pay about $100 to have them installed.

If you are going to go all out and get headers, cats, and exhaust in the future, then wait on the reflash. But if not, do it now, you will be happy.

Fast Intentions HFC or test pipes for sure. Get all the mods you can before you get a tune. Otherwise, if you tune now, then do more mods, youll have to tune it again

I use my car for mostly business purposes and from what I've read the test pipes would be going to far in the "loud" category. From the sounds clips posted on the site the HFC with stock mid pipe and muffler sounds mean without being obnoxious. I like the sound of the HKS for the sedan, but don't like $350 and no power gains.
