Your going to have to gut your primary cats as well to come close to making the power of an aftermarket exhaust and headers. Have the same local shop do it for you, some shops will and others won't?

 

That's a very good point I'm not sure if I want to do that just yet

I still enjoy how civilized the car is

Does anyone have any thoughts on the a/c not being cold enough?

 

As one of a good number with aftermarket exhaust and headers, I can say the added power gives a much needed enhancement to the driving feel. It still feels like a gentleman's car while cruising, but as soon as you open up that secondary intake, it is a flat out monster. Sedate when you need it to be, but a roaring menace when you feel like pushing the car.

As for the A/C not being cold, I would suspect the fan motor or compressor. Something to look into, especially since it will get much hotter quickly. Best of luck!

 

Damnit wasn't compressor covered under a recall?

One thing I miss though are cooled seats

 

I don't believe the compressor was a recall item.

I, too, would have preferred cooled seats. Heated seats only come in handy for those in very frigid climates.
