my very first mod was removing the resonator under the air intake box, i probably gained 1 or 2 hp no money involved there.. if you wanna spend some money go by yourself a good aftermarket performance muffler and you'll notice a few gains.. but for the full effectiveness get a whole custom piping about 2 1/4" may cost you more...
