That's usually the first mod (k&n) Get ready because the money is gonna start flying once you start modding.

Ah yes, the good ole days, when underdrive pullies and air filters were enough to keep me content. Enjoy it, and welcome to the poorhouse in advance.

Went right to work on suspension and brakes, then did intake and exhaust with my 01'. With the 03, I mostly scavenged what I had on the 01 and then upgraded from there with the MM kit and seats and guages and everything. I've been through like 5 major iterations of my car with just the 03.

total cash spent on mods and repairs... about 6 grand, total value... totaled it up once, retail on parts and book time labor was well in excess of 15K. Thankfully I did most of my own work.

I started with the Steeda CAI and Steeda Springs.. happy modding!

it's so weird.. when I bought the car I had ABSOLUTELY NO intention of modding.. I didn't even really know what it was at the time. /shakes head

now i can't stop
