K&N was my first but the most impressive was the Under Drive Pulleys.

flowmasters was my first. just get them welded in, and forget about the H or X pipe for now. for about $170, itll sound like a beast. not much HP gains though..

Take the $200, put it in the bank collect interest and then buy gears and have them installed when you've got enough. Or just buy some gears...ofcourse you might want to make gears your first mod.

Seriously though... Springs are nice cause you get rid of the SUV look but they can be expensive too install unless your doing it yourself.

Speaking of which, I'm starting mods on my car as well and was wondering about cold air kits. I bought a K&N filter, but it's the stock one that replaces the paper one. If i buy a cold air kit will I necassarily have to get rid of the filter I just bought or are their kits that don't come with the filter that i can attach the K&N to. And if there are... who are they?
