Read this... https://my350z.com/forum/new-owners/...to-your-z.html

What kind of "performance" are you looking to upgrade? Speed? Handling? Braking?

Wow that's vague. Suspension, or brakes, or intake, headers, high flow cats, exhaust (if you get some deals). Or search (which is free, ).

intake $250ish exhaust can be expensive but lets just go with 800 and motordyne 5/16 plenum 250. 1300 maybe 1400 if you install yourself.

thats what i did at least lol

Engine mods aren't worth **** on Zs. Test pipes are a good mod for the money and thats about it.
