is it an auto or manual? well a chip and intake would be a good start. any bolt on is a good start but start with an intake.

AFE is a good intake, but how much is it? I think there are less expensive alternatives that do an equally good job.

I got the aFe intake off eBay for $187.00





I love it, and the sound it makes is amazing.

AC Shnitzer knock off from eBay. Surprisingly well built. I used some liquid weld and the thing is as solid as a 1 piece bar. I weigh 275lbs and I jumped up and down on it (without the bolts in it), and it didn't even budge. I got it for $110.00 shipped and it retails for $190.00 US.

If you are willing to shop around, eBay can be your best friend. Just make sure you research the quality of the parts before buying. As there is a LOT of junk being sold on there.

I dunno but you can pick one up from any wrecker or spare parts place or even ebay for a couple of hundred I think, I'm asssuming its probably heaps cheaper in the US han it is here in Aus cos there's heaps more available.
