Sounds like you need to trade in for a new model.

No way.

She's attractive, intelligent, earns as much as I do, and we have a lot of fun and a gorgeous little girl together

I flashed my GTI without telling my wife as I don't need her permission with discretionary money. She was very impressed when she first took the GTI out after the flash. She said" what the hell did you do to the car" She asked me the otter day when I was going to flash the S4. I'm not bored with the car yet so I'm holding off for now. I say go for it. It is money well spent.

Your comment made her sound like a snobby b*tch. My mistake.

You just have to get your phrasing right. Tell her it helps you to more easily "accelerate out of danger" - which is relatively harder to counter as "Nobody is going to purposively 'accelerate into danger' - right honey?"
Heheh, that's pretty much what I've been telling her and EXACTLY what's she's been countering with, but you might be on to something here Doc. I think a total change in tact is required. "We'll be able to safely and quickly accelerate out of dangerous situations AND leave the texting driver even farther behind" She'll let me do it sometime after the summer... she just likes giving me the gears about my new "mistress" lol

ECU tune , cold air intake ,rear section exhaust and remove the center resonator & replace w/ straight pipes - sounds great and lots more power for less than 4K.

Now that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks man, I'm on it. But when you said "rear section exhaust do you mean a whole catback system or something else?
