Welcome to the club. Badass little cars arent they. I just finished installing some Kooks LT and Boss H-pipe. All I can say is mother of god. That coupled with the Borla type-S it sounds like a straight up stock-car. Scares the **** out of people.
I took me 1 day and may 50 miles before the restrictors came out I might have to put them back in now though.
Have fun with it.

car looks awesome. I made the same deal with my girlfriend. Light mods till it's paid off. Then I can toss a supercharger on it. Car's not even here and I've already spent like $1600 on mods. They're just stockpiling.

Ok, so I know the title is pretty played out but I never thought I would get to say it. As my signature promised, I said I would be back and here it is. Just picked up my 2013 Boss in Gotta Have it Green. Pretty basic on the options, just the Reccaros and the diffs. Also the accessories pack but that doesnt relly make much diff does it.
My impression of the car is.... SICK. For those of you that dont know my I had a HEAVILY modified 2008 GT (630HP) with the frame stiffened and suspension done. Wonderful car, however I have to say going from that to this just feels different. Was my old car a little faster? Yes. Did it grip the road a little more? Yes. However this thing is SMOOTH. Dont get me wrong, it is still fast and handles great. Setting the steering wheel to sport mode makes the whole car feel different.
The sound..... Let me tell you, it sounded all right when I picked it up. The car only made it 120 miles on the odometer before my first mod.... Pulling out the restictor plates in the exhaust. Took 5 minutes after I spent about 4 hours detailing it. Fired it up and was like... ok, it a little louder. Then I went for a drive and just can not descibe it. The sound of downshifting and letting it engine break into a corner around 4k rpm falling to 2500..... amazing.
I made a deal with the wife and I intend to stick to it, about some things being paid off before I put mods on the car. I'm fine with that. We said that if I'm going with that much more expensive of a car, its going to be because of what it has done to it already. Its got a good suspension, breaks, forged internals, ported heads, sporty cams. Can you get better if you build it yourself? Yeah, but you know what, I am very satisfied and feel like I got a lot of mod ready parts for my money. I pretty much plan on dropping a supercharger on it and calling it a day.
Well I have taken enough of your time, here are the pics!
