There are a millions ways to mod it. What are you looking for? Performance, looks, etc...... Having a budget also helps. Quick fixes are dual exhaust and cai. They both help a bit. You won't notice any big gains in hp unless you do some porting to the heads/intake or do a split-port swap.

BTW, welcome to the site......

K&N drop in filter, under drive pulleys, a freer-flowing exhaust (even just a muffler will do you some good), will start you out .. .

I just put a x-pipe on for $150 and the results were damn good man. By far the best mod I've done so far, I fealt more perfomance with the x-pipe then what I did with the true dual exhaust (with TWO flowmasters...)

New muffler, don't get flowmaster though, sucks. If you get a X-pipe you have to have true dual exhaust though...

There are plenty of people here who have Flows and love them.

It's personal preference.

Listen to the clips and make your own decision.

I have flows...

they DON't sound like they do on a v8 (duh) but they have a horrible drone to them on a v6. Sounds great with a x-pipe though, once you hit 3,000RPMs it sounds like a jet taking off.

Haha work man. And time. I'm only 17 and can get enough cash together for my ride. Invested 2K in mods so far (including tires).

set your budget -I allocate $50 a month, more or less and look for deals.

I already have my plan put together, so I know what I want, and I pick up the pieces as they come available.
