So I got s little gift from the wife's family, ~ $1500 to blow.
I have a pretty fully modded Dark Horse and i can't think of anything else I can do other than a Whipple which is like $13k-$14k installed. That's just a lot too much for me to dump into an already fast car.
I'm already tuned and I have winter and summer tire/wheel setups, don't really care to lower the car so what else is their to do??
I've got h-pipe, ppf, tints, radar.
Help! lol

1st world problem, love it!!
Use it on gas/e85. 👍
LOL, yeah... yeah I agree, not looking for sympathy as it's not really a real problem.
Guess I could just go buy a new gun or something

The Dark Horse has a good sound - but if you need to spend it on the car, I suppose you could do a full Corsa catback? It would require a little cash to make that work, but maybe you could sell the H pipe.

I enjoy mine…

Well that brings in a whole list of opportunities.
Might I suggest a silencer?

Interesting idea, I would install it myself as I did the Steeda H-pipe. Is it really that much better though? I really love my volume and tone now so just don't know if it would be better? maybe no corrosion on the mufflers would be cool but otherwise not sure... defiantly don't want raspy sound or more volume

Okay - scratch that, if you don’t want more volume stay away from Corsa :). I love the sound though…

hmm…custom audio/sub setup?

Few different things you can do. Are you satisfied with your audio? You can spend a few dollars there to improve the sound. Buying a new sub will greatly improve the sound.

Yeah,I’d go headers if I wanted more volume and power but I’m older- 47 , wife would never ride anymore and neighbors would hate me .
I did the sub upgrade already, this made me very happy, and I’m the type that likes to hear the exhaust more than music.

Pick up a really nice used set of golf clubs and put them in the trunk, maybe lessons depending on your skill level.

Since you're already loaded up on the big stuff and don't want to go full loud, maybe throw it at some fresh summer rubber or a solid set of track pads if you do any canyon carving. Or just bank it for random track days and gas like the boys said.

HPDE. More fun than any farkles, and you'll end up a better driver.
