New Modification

Hello all. Been looking at other cars, but i figure i have this one so instead of swap i might as well buy more crap for it. Looking or a new mod since its been over a year since my last one. I have a Hahn intake, HPtune, TWM Short shifter, and a ZZP catless dp. Id rather not have a major sound change, as i hate rice, and if i sound like a fart i will not be pleased. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Im not trying to set the world on fire, and i dont go to the track but once a year. I dont care to lower my car, as the roads in MD are not great. I am open to all suggestions except for the crazy expensive ones. Unless you are donating me money which is a different story...

Also i still have THREE Goodyear Eagle GT tires that are well used but not terrible. Anyone interested PM me or email chrisrandom16@yahoo.com

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Enjoy your day.

This. I agree OP, I hate that raspy fart sound many exhausts make. I have MPX on my car and it is very deep and sounds amazing when pushed. I can definitely recommend.

What are you looking for then?
Performance handling wise..add Pedders and Powell Street rear sway bar...does a lot for handling without lowering much. $360 for Pedders and $250 (?) for bar. I would also add stage 1 Powell (or OTTP) trans mount for wheel hop reduction. I think I saw one for sale here.
Then there's the lauded K&N intake..I've seen this for as low as $220.

i thought about charge piping but isnt that more of a cometic thing? since i dont track the car, wouldnt a better bang for my buck be the exhaust? just costs a little more. i know charge piping does produce gains, but i want something ill notice in everyday driving, not just something on time slip. thinkin about goin with the exhaust

NO COSMETICS OF ANY KIND FOR ME. haha stock appearing is the way to go. and E85 is a waste. theres none near me, and i dont want to hassle of all the tuning and ****. ill stick with the 93. i understand what it does and how its good but for me its just not feasible.
