Default Whats your FAVORITE mod to your car??

I figured since the "mod mistake" thread blew up and now we know alot of things NOT to do to our cars (im currently looking for a stock MAF lol) maybe you guys could tell us your favorite thing you have done to yours.

Favorite mod(s) to your car / why?



My car's only mods are BBK 80mm throttle body, K&N FIPK, dumped exhaust, and LS1 Edit.

My favortie has to be the LS1 Edit!! I've just been playing with the tune based off reading alot in the tuning forums and the car drives 100 times better! the shifts are a little firmer, ALOT cripser, it never hesitates to shift now and i never realized how much Torque Management sucks on an 01 z28 a4 until i deleted it. I have alot to learn, but its my favorite so far

I don't have many either, but it's got to be the stall converter. And I'm pretty sure that's going to be the best mod I'll ever get.

Not that I have many mods but I love my Borla, for now on the first thing I will do to any car in the future is put an exhaust on it.

I have been considering a stall converter... really just waiting on the money and was wondering from those of you who are alliterate with tranny's, if it would be wise to buy one off of ebay or somewhere that is used and considerably cheaper. Blew all my money on the wheels.

Man this is a hard one.

Probably have to say my headers I suppose. With my nittos being a close 2nd since w/o then my car sucks.

TR224 on a 112. But to really enjoy the sound of idle etc the qtp's with tsp true duals are needed. Since I did them all at the same time I'll just claim them as one mod.

Sound, well I can't drive my car right now but I start it at least every couple of days just to listen to it idle.
