The intake i am going to be able to get air in, i have found a ton of cheap or free mods that i can get my intake to be pretty good. And if not, i'd buy a lid pretty soon down the road. Exhaust, are you talking things like the cats or headers, or muffler? B/c i got the cut-out so that should free it up a bit. The cats i am not gonna ditch, i wanna try to keep the car close to emission legal as i can, and the headers are something i would change in the future (as a good set is like $1100, for longtubes that is). A BIG question i am having is the clutch, with conservative driving it won't get worn out especially fast with the extra power, should it? Plus if i am gonna get the same amount of hp (almost) with small mods, thats still more hp so the clutch will get the same wear, right? The exhaust with the cut-out and most of the intake mods mentioned in this thread.....shouldn't that be adequate flow?

For minor bolt-ons what do you suggest (all in all keeping me under $1k). B/c if i get those now a bigger upgrade like a cam or something won't come will down the road a long ways. If i get a bigger upgrade now, i can get stuff like a lid and filter as well as things like that as i go on in the next few months (amassing $200 isn't as hard as $1000).
