How cheap are you talking and what mods have you done.

I got one for sale if interested. It's basically a velocity stack inside the back of the airbox behind the filter. Look it up some people claim to feel gains from it.

Depends on what you mean by "mods that work". Are you looking for actual increase in acceleration? If so, how much faster? Intake and spacer won't help acceleration wise without more mods and a tune, but they will give you a more aggressive sound.

I appears that each HP costs $80-$130 after the first 5. Each pound foot of extra torque costs $150.

Muffler delete. Very simple, doesn't cost much. Does it work? Yes, depends on what you are going for. If you want a louder exhaust, then yes it does work. Gains? You're not gonna see any.

I'm rolling like this after I sold my HKS, haha. Was going to go with a custom exhaust but I'm going to hold off on it for now.

Technically, that no fat chicks sticker helps keep weight out of your car, which is good for performance...
