You could start with power do a no exhaust str8 pipe like i did. 80-100 bucks.. with the tip. Or a lowes Cold Air Intake ... 8 foot pvc 1. 90degree and 1. 45 degree with some sandpaper and some black paint. i got pics if you need. I used the stock cupling works great sounds great did it for about 20 bucks to finish the Intake and your choice of filters k/n woulud be your best around 35 bucks at Auto zone with 2 mods i got about 40 hp and under 150 bucks. And a grille insert would be nice if you don't have one you can get one for about 65 bucks at autoanything. thats next for me also rear light tint cost me 7 bucks
