Louder, freeflowing catback is always a good one.

My first mod was a lid, but those were not the first mods on the car. The dumba$$ before me had installed the hpp3 & flowmaster exhaust. Those mods are gone now.

I told myself that I wasn't going to mod my car much at first when I got the car in Oct 05, but 4 months later I have another $2500 into mods. At least my car and mods are paid for though.
