But, if I can't do that for $2500 total, what else would you do with a stock FRS and $2500?
I also drive a AT 6 speed. From my experience, new tires and a good UEL header with OFT stage 2 tune. Specifically a WaynoRom tune http://site.wayneroms.com:8000/

2 years worth of customizations of tuning and smoothing out everything for AT (he makes tunes for MT also - but drives AT)

Anyways, the low-end hesitation is gone. UEL header will aid in this area more than a EL header. Even the shifting and RPM limiter behavior with his tunes will shift and feel like butter. Highly recommended

UEL Header $500-1200 depending on quality/brand - cats or no cats
OFT $400/$500
Tune $50

Extra on tires or overpipe $200
