Full detail job. Nothing turns more heads than a car in immaculate condition.

Downpipe-Back exhaust. If you do it well you will never have to touch this area again, no matter what route you choose. (N/A, Boost, Nitrous, Show).

i personally love my Apexi N1. just dont use a test pipe because it will prob sound raspy as all hell. its nice and deep. good tone, good performance. i think the catback system is like 300 bucks? maybe more depending on where you buy it.

no, you wont, unless your making some serious power...

2.5" back would be sufficient for up to around 300+ whp

This should have been said long before now . . . . but good ultra-high performance tires should be the #1 priority for any enthusiast when you're first starting out with a car.

Hands down, no other modification can make as much of an impact as really good tires.

Intake or exhaust first(Greddy Evo of course), although suspension is a good idea if you have the $$$ to do it all at once. Or just go with Tein.
