There are valid reasons to choose an Si over the Type R even if money is no object; The Si has heated seats, the Type R does not. The Si has a sunroof, the Type R does not. The Type R tires last 10k miles. The Type R wheels are easily damaged by even mild potholes. The Type R gets 23mpg while the Si gets over 40 even when heavily modified. The Type R does not come in sedan or coupe styles.Any modification to intake/exhaust on a car voids warranty. I do not recommend it unless you have money. If you had money, you would have just bought the Type R. If you are worried about the cost of making your Si look like a Type R, again, you should just buy the Type R since it's clear ya'll wanted that model/trim anyways.
There has always been a massive enthusiast community around the Si and the existence of the Type R just creates a new parts pool from which to consider. It is a little naive to assume someone doesn't have much money just because they want a good deal on their modifications.
