Best bet for $400 is either one or two universal mufflers(depending what kind of exhaust you want) and having a straight pipe made all the way back to the muffler(s) by an exhaust shop. Then by an ebay intake kit.

It was an idea to quiet the exhaust I believe. Plus it looks so cool!

You can make your own intake. Just go get a K&N cone filter. Do as many freebie mods you can, and invest in a good exhaust. You will probably still have money left over.

first, that aas did barely anything, stiffened up the shocks the tiniest bit. Second: unless your sure that the shocks have been changed at at dealer everytime it's been changed, then i can guaruntee you that they're normal non electronic shocks. And if they haven't ever been changed, i can guaruntee you that the aas doesnt work on them anymore. Third: the 7 just handles great, that's what you were experiencing, but guess what: it can handle even better with new shocks.
Fourth: you did not take a 90 degree turn at 75. And even if you did, the body would have rolled....along with the frame, and engine, and...

Fine then. Prove it. If you can, I'll eat my words.

I sure hope your driving is better than your typing.

dam that steering wheel is way too expensive. Look for someone selling an apex N1 with straight pipe and downpipe. i got mine with no cat for $600. Thanks Miguel. Save up man get quality not Quantity. And if u r getting rust in those dents i d fix that first. No body no 7 for u man.

Save the money for upcoming repairs. It's usually best just to replace things as they break or wear out. I sounds like everything on your car works fine, so I wouldn't spend it on anything yet. Sooner or later your tires will need replacing, or maybe your brakes or shocks, or whatever, so that's where you should put your money.

BTW, your "sport" AAS suspension isn't jack compared to a fully-tuned race suspension, but if you think that it's good, then you should just keep it as is. Besides, a full-blown suspension upgrade is going to cost over $2,000, which is way over your budget.
