I posted this in one of the other sticky threads ("Popular Threads", something like that) but I'll ask here as well.

Is there a thread[s] out there that lists the most "necessary" mods in term of popularity and performance?

In addition to that, a thread or link to a website[s] that gives a description of what each mod does? I mean, most of us are car-smart, or car-enthusiasts but some of these mods are new - at least to me, embarrassed to say I'm new to this.
Thanks in advance.

You could get some resonated test pipes from Fast Intentions. Those should help out with the rasp also.

I would go with either Berk or Fast Intentions HFC's. It will make your exhaust note deeper without the rasp. Try the HFC's first and if you want it louder then get the y-pipe.

bump puts a thread back to the top of the list with a new post, bumping it up so to speak

bbk = big brake kit

For quality and performance these are good too. The only negative thing about them is that they don't have a hinge for extra support, but that shouldn't be a problem. There are many members here that have them without any complaints.
