Default Better mods for the money??

I've got about $550 I want to spend on car mods. It's completely stock right now and I know that I want the SLP loudmouths. What do you guys think is the best way to spend the last couple hundred?

Well I'm pretty sure I want the exhaust - there's nothing better for me than that sound that the LMs give off. I was thinking maybe UDPs or gears to go with em?

Your not going to see much of a performance increase with LMs and UDPs.

You are asking for best mods for the money which is a CAI and a tune. The exhaust should be one of your last mods if you are going for performance. It would be 1. cai/tune, 2. headers, 3 gears, 4 udps/water pump etc, 5 exhaust. A exhaust will add under 10 hp, the stock exhaust is just really efficient.

Need rear lowering coils (car has way too much gap in rear wheelwell) may get away w/o adj panhard if you measure before and after and are still within 1/4". Won't have enough money left for CAI and tune; probably could get mirrors painted. At least car would look right.

Your question is "better mods for the money" which would by far be the CAI with tune. Your exhaust, although it may be the sound you want, will give you minimal gains for the cost. My personal opinion, forget the exhaust and get the CAI and tune. You will have to save a little more than the $550 you got - but I am positive you will be impressed by the difference in your car after that mod.
