Honestly, the best easiest mods are driop in K&N filter, test pipe, suspension and EMS everything else can wait

Bolt on's don't do much for our S so doing a few things for performance isn't going to make a big difference unless your about to spend a ton of money. The test pipe will definetly increase exhaust flow, and even with the OEM exhaust it makes it sounds nicer. Then an intake such as the K&N FIPK makes under the hood a lot cleaner looking, and plus it sounds amazing. Once you get on it, it will scream and sounds awesome.
sounds like what I have in plan right now... One more question because I have a lot of peoples attention. Does K&N make a drop in air filter or is it even worth it.

Also, if I were to look at the test pipe. will it through a CEL code? I kinda want to do some racing with scca down the road.

You really have to specify what you want...
Want more speed, better handling - better looks?


A full fluid change is def. recommended, and than a cheap single exhaust which u can even get off ebay, and a HFC.
If you going for looks get an OEM lip from a store or get this lip for 150 off ebay, check my Index Thread for a bunch of parts, there so much out there, but it will help if you give us an idea of what your looking for.


AMS Style Lip off Ebay


OEM comes pre painted off a official site.

My first actual mod (other than just working on it) was a radio.

Second was a CT exhaust.

Third is a SOS Supercharger

Free mod...
The Top Down mod. Do the one wire mod so all you have to do is engage the parking brake one notch and you can do your top up/down on the slow-fly without stopping.
Then exhaust like a Q300.
FIPK and Aut plate.
Enjoy.
