hks hi-power because it does more than an intake than just sound... but looks.

check out the reviews on these 2 parts in the parts/review section.

get exhaust, sounds louder than intake and ppl can see without you opening the hood.

if you are not really going to speed, just change everything ppl can see first.

I agree with the suspension mods, I went back to stock but kept my suspension upgrades and love them.

^^^ good call!
but honestly, if youre only into straight line performance, then dont worry about suspension.... if not, the suspension mods may be most satisfying. if youre looking for neuspeed upper strut, get it from namotorsports, think they still have a sale going on.
