start with full exhaust, LT's FTW, a midpipe and a catback, that may run for about $1200

that makes no sense. he just said he has a 1000 dollars but u told him to buy stuff that cost over 1000 dollars alone without install which is gonna be up there int he 500 dollar range. i say you get gears and a tuner. or if you have any left over a midpipe also

Gears and a tuner prolly will run you close to a grand, the change you got left buy a tank of gas...

Gears = no HP gains sorry, but it will make your car more feel stronger while helping performance.
Tuner will clean up your stock cpu program, as far as hp gains the juries still out.

well gears have been the better then any other "horsepower" mod ive ever done on this car. theres not a big horsepower gain you can get on these 2v's without a s/c or nitrous.
