Headers
- PPE Engineering (Ceramic Coated)
- Mazzuri Headers (Two members are selling I believe)
Needs 02 extenders and possibly ceramic coating

You already have a full exhaust I believe.

And last but not least weight reduction. No spare and lighter wheels.

In the above mentioned you're looking at 1600-2000.
All depending on who you buy it from and weather or not you'll be doing instalation.

One last thing, as Kurtz mentioned you're looking at about a 30hp max increase out of all these mods, I've spoken to members here on CL and on my.IS and they confirm that with the above modifications, particularly the headers there is an increase in power and off the line take off. Not dramatic but quote notable. One perfect example would be the memeber Gernby witch did a header install in his AWD 2IS with Mazzuri headers, and I believe shaved off 0.3-0.4 tenths of a second off his 1/4 mile. It's really going to be up to you to decide witch route you want to take. But whatever you do choose let us know your experience and results.
I sent an email to PPE but they havent gotten back to me yet. If their headers do fit my car i think im gonna go with them. ive been hearing very good things about them. I just ordered my F-Sport intake off sewell and it should be at my house in a few days. I also have my borla exhaust put on. its dual exhaust now and they took out the cats and resonator. I do want some light wheels too. Im also gonna get a carbon fiber hood. maybe trunk lid too. As soon as i get my intake ill try to post up the difference. then ill do a comparison after i get my headers.

Depends on how deep your pockets are. Like most people say, with the 250 you don't have much to work with. I have a 250 too but some spirited driving in sport shift mode is enough to get my jollies every now and then.

It's depend on the way that you will use.

If you ask for " DRAG " , nothing can reduce your time exept SUPERCHARGE.

If you ask for " Circuit " , yes you can reduce your lab time by many thing.

Install a set of Coilovers, Limited Slip, Sway-bar will help you to use more speed during corner. For improve the performance, you may apply Header + Mid Pipe + Exhaust + HKS F-CON V PRO with tunning.

^^^ I'm curious how you plan to use the HKS F-CON with the IS250. To my knowledge, because of encryption there is no way to provide any aftermarket ECU tuning.
