depends on how you define cheap. You can pick up a K&N filter on ebay for $20 or so, pick up a Densecharger MAF to TB pipe for $60 or so and that should be ok for your intake for now. Also on the less expensive side, you can buy 2 flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers on Ebay for $106 shipped, take it to a decent local exhaust shop and have them welded on for $60-$100 (call around for best price, mine was $65 at Meineke). An Off-road pipe is ~$150 and can be installed yourself. UD pullies are $150 but you need to rent a few tools for the install. Timing adjuster is probably another $150, installs easily.
Thats really about it, anything more than that requires >$200.

Yell Vtec when you shift. j/k
There really arent any free mods to speak of except removing the rear seat and things like that.
I guess as some other have said what do you define as cheap. There quite a few under $200 mods for the stangs. That is pretty cheap when dealing with performance items.
Really cheap would be a K&N and thats about it imo.

Don't screw with CAI's, they're all
As for racing at the track free mods: take out the front swaybar, passenger headlight, rear seats, passenger seat, spare tire and jack.

1) Springs/ Shocks -- while this is certainly not a "cheap" mod, per se ... HOWEVER you can get the Mach 1 spring/shock combo for VERRRRY cheap that would provide a substantial handling improvement while lowering the car from its ridiculously high stock perch. Do some searches if interested, there are a million threads on this one.
2) Mach 1 grill delete and chin spoiler -- each one runs about $60 or so. You will be surprised how much better car looks with both of these.
3) New shifter -- These run about $150 or so (I believe) and are a HUGE improvement over stock.
4) White-faced gauges -- Many people pick these up off eBay for about $25. The install is also fairly easy. There are tons of threads on gauges, too.
Then save up and get a Magnaflow catback ...

Best bang for the buck for pre 99 is the PI intake swap
PI Intake = 150 NEW from www.speedconcepts.net.
Than maybe another 40 -50 bucks for gaskets, heater tube, alternator bracket, thermostat O-ring and some RTV. You should net around 15- 20 hp from the swap.
