not many. If you get a Hondata IM to reduce heatsink, it'd be worth it to do a coolant bypass mod.(take out the coolant hoses running in and out of the TB) Ummm... you can advance your ignition a bit...

I don't suggest the coolant bypass. The gains are debateable, and the problems aren't.

Free mods:
gut your cat
take out the intake resonator
strip your car

Cheap Mods:
ebay cold air intake
test pipe
get a larger exhaust... 2.25" is good.
My advice? Don't skimp on a header... save up and get a real one. If you are really limited financially, you can do get a DC one, then have an exhaust shop hack off the b pipe and add larger piping.

of course, a used nitrous kit would be most effective as far as bang for buck goes.

just my meager $0.02 worth.

if you're lowered already take out the front sway to reduce understeer. may not be worth it considering you'll get more roll, but that's the price you pay by not paying.

take out the spare tire jack etc.

relocate the battery to the trunk

strip interior

get some kind of vinyl piping from home depot, remove intake resonator, make homemade "ram air" cold air ducting for stock intake box

resurface your rotors.

test pipe or even cheaper, open header.
