Don't worry I am too
I'm just gonna give you the recepie that i give all of my friends ... They drive pretty much like you

Firstly seafoam the car and change the oil. this'll run you about 30 bucks get some 5w 30 preferably

Second Stop running that thing on cheap gas You're a teen so i know you are.. Run it on some shell V power to clean out that top end and make it burn the way it should (higher octane in cheap motorss like that often helps quite a bit with power. 20 cents per gallon pays itself off

Third K&N OR Spectre Cone filter Some will say you lose power from this but You know it isn't true You can HEAR the extra power and FEEL that extra snappiness, well guess what that's a lie It MAY help you with fuel economy (because it has a similar effect to the WAI) however the power you FEEL is actually just the car responding to the throttle snap much quicker Heat soak and pullling warm air in will decrease power
So what i'd ACTUALLY suggest doing go to autoanything.com.. that's where i get em and buy yourself a K&N air filter then delete your intake resonator if you have one
You'll still get the sound but it should be a whole lot more affective with power actually Around $40

Forth you can't stand how it sounds Go to ebay find yourself a flowsound 2 chamber muffler KEEP YOUR RESONATOR ON or that will be raspy as hell like a fart-canned civic. may not help with gas buuuuut you wont have to drive as fast to hear the sound of the motor. $40

Inflate your tires to the max pressure or as near as you dare to go to it, tirre manufacturers actually underrate their tires just for saftey reasons. This'll give you less rolling resistance and drag at high speed Free

and lastly TAKE OUT WEIGHT ditch unnessecary stuff if you dont drive 4 people around ditch the back seat > Your spare tire and spare tire jack can be removed and get a can of fix a flat that should cover you if you get one. also any extra crap that reeeeeally doesn't need to be in your car Remove it Free

Oh and lastly delete the spoiler if you have one and wash the car At the super high speeds youre traveling this may actually help Free

For most people on this forum these mods are useless but for you i think they may actually turn out great. Lemme know the results
Ok mr stereo type lol. FWI, I sea foamed the oil ad gas the first week I had it and left the oil in for 300 miles (never going above 3k rpms) and then changed to royal purple 10w-30. My tires are brand new and I had the car aligned, and I wash my car AT LEAST 2 times a week, And I wash the undercarriage too ( I would spend $20 a week keeping my old truck clean). I havent run any of my 8 past cars on less than 93 octane. And there is no clutter in my car lol. And yes im 18 years old. My intro thread shows my history of cars and why I ended up here.

On the subject of the CAI, I may just go to a better filter and keep the stock intake because of that annoying droning sound coming from a stock engine with a CAI.
