Default SIMPLE mods, anyone?

I have an '04 5-speed GT, the only mod being a set of Magnaflows and tips,and I'd like to know the simplest mods I can do. I'm about as mechanically adept as your average Smurf, so go easy on me! Thoughts?

Simple mods that you can do yourself?

- Remove the rubber silencer off the air filter assembly, or
- A cold-air intake
- Throttle body / plenum
- Shifter

i took off the whole plastic piece on my intake.

I cut the ring off the assembly and clamped the bastard back on leavin me with a home made ram air kit. minus the part where it gets nailed with heat soak. but works great if you pull your passenger headlight out at the track
