What should be the first mod on my Z?
1) Window tint always comes first, if you havent already done so.
2) CAI, try and find one used in the classifieds section, its stupid to pay 230+ for an intake
3) Lowering springs
4) High-Flow cats or resonated test pipes
5) Assuming you have an 05-06 6MT, you should read up on the MREV mod, it gets HUGE gains on the rev-up motors.
6) Strup headers, they show big gains, and the install isnt extremely expensive with these, no need to pull the motor or such.
7) Hardwired Valentine1 or an 8500, ull need a radar detector after these mods LOL

Yeah that's a good idea, Alberto. I'm not using my compartment for much so I think I'll just put my FC in there.

Or, if you want an exhaust but don't want to spend that much you can always have a muffler shop (if you know people there and they do quality work) custom build you one. I bought my test pipes on Ebay for $75 shipped and they are great quality SUS304 SS. I then bought a Vibrant muffler/resonator from a freind of mine that owns a speed shop for cost (I gave him a little more for the favor so I paid $80). I then ordered two 2.5" inlet, 3" outlet mufflers off of e-bay which I got for about $60 shipped. I then took that all too my local muffler shop and had them custom fabricate me everything in between. I love the sound and the response is great too. It's so much more straight through and you can feel the car gaining RPMs much faster without the "breathing through a straw" exhaust that comes stock. Total I spent about $325 for my whole exhaust from the headers back. I also have a 3/8ths in. Motordyne plenum and a JWT popcharger and some other smaller mods (shift ****, chrome accents on the black front grill, billet antenna and I put in a JL 8W0 sub and I've probably only spent about $750 total with all that stuff done. Oh, I am including my Tanabe GF210 springs also. You just have to meet the right people and you can get everything for a deal,
