Well, first off, get an exhaust. Striaght pipes FTL [:'(]. After that, go for a mid pipe. O/R H-pipes can be found for $130 - $150 new or less used and MIL's can be made at home for under $10 or bought for $25 - $50. Then there's always intake, TB and plenum, and/or shifter. All of those can be done in a driveway with hand tools.

For some basic mods that arent to much and can be done fairly easy i agree with 96GT226410 and recomend

longtubes
o/r mid pipe
catback
short throw shifter
cai
trottle body
intake plenum
