Ha. If I had 1500 I would buy kooks long tubes, a kooks or bassani catted x pipe(because I have emissions) and Corsa db series mufflers. Look them up.

^ same as above, but would recommend some suspension upgrades to improve traction as well as the corner.

before you mod the engine for more power, i suggest on working on chassis components. get with some lowering springs, sway bars, and shocks n struts. also depending on the springs you get you may need Caster Camber plates.

suspension mods make a world of difference.

i would say between the two of us we drive it about 75% of the time... the goal is to have a nice street ride that sees the strip maybe once twice a month... not trying to get like 10's or anything but 12's would be nice...
