$1500 to spend

I would go with the OFT first. The car will just drive so much better. When I took off my Unichip and drove it stock, it felt sluggish. Threw the OFT back on and things were chugging along quite nicely.

I would also look into a heavyweight shift knob. I have the Raceseng Slammer, which is 3x heavier than the stock knob and the shifts are sooo pleasant. And you're always shifting, so you'll definitely reap the benefits here as well. Same goes for the OFT.

Hard to give you a recommendation when you don't even know what your own goals with the car are. But out of the listed options, I'd go with B.

If you're looking for increased driving pleasure, my own recommendation would be a good set of summer tires and an exhaust. Increasing grip and exhaust noise increased the fun factor for me the most so far.

I'd spent in
1oz of weed
Package of condoms
A hooker
Cheap hotel
As said before go with open flash combo

I got openflash tablet first, then openflash header and perrin 2.5" catback. I would do OFT/OFH, but I can't speak from experience as I haven't installed the bolt ons yet.

Also K&N filter just because it's cheap and the stock filter appears to be made of egg carton.

Wheels, tires, and alignment is the most cost effective combo for both form and function.

Definitely this unless you haven't paid off the car then it's kind of iffy.

I would go for the header and the tune

[yomny]

B or C

The frontpipe wont give you much power and it'll stink a little with no cat. So you're better of with the header plus tune or just go for nice looks and a little improved handling with option C and wait till you could get a full exhaust and tune.

Good tires , good alighnment good pads and fluids , then hit up every track and autocross event you can.

Tomei headers and OFT

Just another fact. My vehicle is fairly new(8000km) and is still under warranty. Would getting just the header without a tune void my warranty?

[srizzors25]

I believe so if they ever found out. Depends on how much you value your warranty.

Personally I'm not going to mess with the engine until the warranty is up just in case. So I vote coilovers and catback instead of front pipe

But based on your options I really like option 3 there. It'll be fun to drive and look at. Springs/wheels/tires make it a very nice animal

You know how that warranty subject is very delicate. Normally they'll have to prove some how that the issue at hand is directly related or caused by your modified part. There are a few factors however that could determine the outcome, how nice the dealer is, if you know someone that could look the other way.. but an ECU flash and a header which replaces or completely removes the cat would most likely "void" the warranty or give them a very good reason to deny coverage. If you're worried about that, then its best to stay away from engine modifications.. then again if you have issues with your control arm or abs speed sensor they could blame it on your spring or coilover drop. So when you modify the car, be ready to have issues with any warranty claim.
