Re: What is good and what should i get? Before you start modding your car: DO YOUR RESEARCH! Some mods react differently on different model/year cars. Figure out what you want to do with your car: daily driver/drag queen/road racing. Some stuff is good for say, drag racing, but not good for autocross, for example.
An Airbox/Exhaust upgrade is the best start. I would stay away from the Throttle Body Bypass, and stuff that involves cutting/modding stock pieces IMHO.
