I agree. Doing the flowmasters and the offroad pipe, plus the short throw shifter, made the car so much more fun to drive. Then I'd do gears etc.
There's more to modding your car then decreasing 1/4 times. Have a great exhaust note and being able to make quick, sporty shifts is a world of difference.
