I asked my Upsolute rep what the next step was to more ponies. He recommended first off K&N Filters (okay already, I know your results so I'll be shopping for those) and then a replacement exhaust, primarily to get the stock cat out and put in a 400 <insert gobbledegook stuff here> replacement and more free-flowing muffler and pipes. His estimate was ~$1300 installed, but since I'm his first Crossfire he'd like to talk further to me about using my car as sort of a prototype which would cut my cost by ~50%. Beyond the chip and K&N's, he said I'd probably get ~10-12 more HP from the less restrictive exhaust system yet stay street legal and VA emissions legal. Hmmm.... have to talk to the financial advisor :P
Just curious... 10-12 hp more for $1,300 after spending only $400 for the chipping and the extra 30 HP or so you got from that? Do you think 10-12 more horses justifies that much $$$? Just looking on the practical side :wink:

But hey... if you can afford the druckets... go for it, right?
