Next Mod Question...

Well, let's see. Performance wise, I currently have an intake, headers, a magnaflow muffler, and i took out my resonator. I got about $600 to blow right now. So what's the next thing I should get? Catback exhuast? RRM Piggyback? I would try to save for a turbo but realistically, I can't save money. Any advise is welcome. Thanks all.

RRM Piggyback.........nice gains with your performance parts that you had currently right now. this is my opinion of what you should do.

I think UTEC is only for the evo. I might be wrong.

If you don't plan to do much more than boltons - RRM piggyback
If you want to go further and have more tuneability - E-manage

I'd go with the RRM piggy back too.. It would go well with an exhaust.. But that is up to you. You can probably find a shop near you to hook you up with a cat back for 300 bucks. It's all about what you want.

eManage can definitely be more complicated than the RRM plug-it-in piggyback. But, it's a small step down from a complete standalone in terms of tunability. In it most basic form, you have 5 knobs to turn to add or remove fuel at a pre-set RPM. In it's most advanced form, using a laptop, you can:
add/remove fuel +/- 20% at user defined throttle positions vs RPM (so you can take away 3% of the fuel when the RPMs are 4500 and throttle is at 65%, or 7% when throttle is 90% at 5300 RPM, for example) this is a 16X16 grid that will smoth itself out it you ask the program to.
Timing retard
Vtech (Mivec) timing changes (instead of kicking in at, say 3500RPM you can set the more aggressive cam to kick in at 1500RPM if you want)

And a whole host of datalogging and several other features that I can't even remember right now.

It's pretty friggin cool!

The same way you learn anything else. Research research research. If I can learn as much as I did on a standalone then anyone can learn a piggyback.
