Opinions to increase ‘fun to drive’
2014 sedan, H&R springs, second cat delete, V7 tune, and E85. The car is fun to drive but can’t help but want more. Mostly back road use and some 45 minute drives to and from work depending on weather (not my daily).
The options I am looking at are:
1) headers and new tune. ~$3k
2) 1 piece drive shaft and full Ultra Racing bar setup. Roughly a little less than $3k, closer to $2,500.
Again, weekend car, no track days, some drag strip runs for fun, and mostly twisty back roads.
Any other suggestions?

No question, headers.

Headers will run you 3k but the install will be at least 1k, and you probably want ceramic coating which is another $500. And throw another 500 for high flow cats + install (if you want these) and prepare $$ for dyno tune. Oh and you'll want an H/X pipe too, if you don't have one already.
My header + HFC + ceramic coat + dyno tune was close to 6k all in. But the result was 500 WHP for me at Eurocharged Canada dyno. Couldn't be happier. But my wallet feels it.

If you don’t have an LSD, definitely do that next. It transforms how the rear of the car acts in all the best ways and adds tons of fun to these cars.
Or you could just save that $3K for a blower later.
