1. Free Mods >>
2. K&N Filter ($40).
3. Intake Pipe ($15 custom made).
4. Boost Gauge (VDO, SPI, or Autometer - $45-$60).
5. Manual Boost Controller ($40-$60). You couldeven make one for cheaper
6. Aluminized Cat-back Exhaust ($240-$350)

so far: $450...

7. Straight Pipe ($35)
8. Aluminized Downpipe ($130-$200)

Check out their N/T dsm site...

Your best first mods will be.
If your a 4g63 n/t dsm. Then consider putting together a turbo kit for it and run minimal boost. Also perform the stage one turbo mods.

If your a 4g67 n/t dsm then consider this route.
1. Intake Pipe with K&N Filter or some ebay filters are just as good.
2. High Flow Cat or a Test Pipe to replace your cat. (CAT if your state has emissions)
3. Get a 2.5 mandrel bent exhaust and a nice muffler.
4. Good plugs and wires.

Just to set you straight.....I'm a 'she'!

98RedGS, so there's no confusion for her or anyone else, it's a 4g37. Also, khartley, what are you looking to do with the mods? Just a couple extra HP if possible?

Yah, I wasn't sure of the engine code just figured I'd kinda "guess" at it and hope I was close.


Your welcome ma'am.
If your looking for a few extra hp I'd do these mods.
If your wanting alot more you want to consider another car or a 2ndary car.

yeah, even if what i do only gives me a couple extra horses, it's better than nothing.
