swap out your exhaust for rpi section III
- Prefer Remus for quieter sound, needa be wife friendly

ditch the CAI and put in RPI scoop and bmc filter
- used to have K&N filter, so I'd rather keep it

change your plugs, fluids, and belts
- done, done, and done

sway bars
- my car has dynamic drive


Thanks for your suggestion.

then put a LSD! totally worth!!! and it costs under $1500.
