Did you do any kind of Engine Management to go along with your new Downpipe & Exhaust? If not, then you are leaving power on the table. Actually not just Power, but you also could improve your MPG if you get a quality tune.

Otherwise, since you have an '02 you should be fine to run the car for a while. The '02's & '03's do not suffer the same kind of problems that the '04 plus models have due to Open Loop/Closed Loop tuning by the ECU.

Sounds like it's time for you to get a Cobb Accessport.
