Will do. Being in California myself I have to consider those same issues too. For power mods I'm thinking a basic CAI, headers and high-flow cats, muffler replace and that's about it. If I can gain about 60-70 hp from those that will be decent enough. Weight reduction, suspension and drivetrain efficiency might cost me as much as some guys are spending on cranking up the hp but I'll be pretty much just as fast, without the reliability issues or loss of gas mileage. My car will stop faster, handle better and be easier to control.
Maybe my car won't sound like a gatling cannon tearing up a city block but then I won't have the cops out looking for me because of complaints from the neighbors either hehe. I want mine to sound smooth, refined and deep; not the harsh mid-range treble barking shredder that most seem to think sounds "badass".
