Where on earth besides a track can I drive a car like that? Not to mention our streets are crap. I know many people say you can really feel the difference with an extra 8%. I don't see how I really can without a track.

Well, you can get test pipes for $400. A dinan tune is about 650. So for about $1000 you can have 35 horsepower! That's actually pretty reasonable from a cost per horsepower perspective. On my old civic Si, a 60hp supercharger was 3.5 grand. And that's for a CIVIC.
Anyway, I know I spent a lot of money on it for "only 35 hp" but it also really opens up the exhaust note. I feel giddy everytime I floor it or fire off rev matched downshifts. Haha
