Those should set you back a total of about $70.

Then, you likely need upgraded bypass valves and possibly a reinforced throttle body boot.

Mind you, these produce zero performance gains, but at least they *might* help your car last a long time.

Next performance mod would likely be piggie pipes and/or exhaust. Some say suspension should be high on the list.

Bottom line: make your own list by looking at what some of the hot cars on here have, and then start chipping away.

Or, just say "what the hell" and spend the $7k on the APr stage 3 kit. You know you're going to get there anyway.
