Default Cheap(er) beginning mods

What are the best mods to get for the GS4? I dont have a whole lot of money, so i wanna know which mods have the best bang for the buck.

So far, I have my mind on gettin the Lextreme TC and TRD LSD as my first 2 mods. Anything else that will give me good performance without breaking my wallet a whole lot? I was planning on doing some light engine work as well.

how much can you spend? The next best bang for the buck would be the S&S headers, but that will set you back $600+labor. Then again, if you get that, your intake and exhaust will be restricting the air flow.

S&S Headers

Intake (Injen v. SRT w. ECU)

Exhaust (Custom is better)

cosmetics wise

Wheels

if you want the best bang, nitrious kit get a single fogger wet and DO NOT get trigger happy and go over 150shot. 150 the stock engine can take and you dont need anything for the fuel it'll be sufficent.
