Mod 1: Muffler delete, it improves the sound (may not work for all cars). Mod 2: Sway bars, connects the suspension of the wheels and improves handling. Mod 3: Short throw shifter, it reduces the motion of shifting gears. Mod 4: LED light bulb headlights, it may make the light bluer like xenon headlights and increase the light output to make it look nicer during night. Mod 5: Pod filter, may increase performance or decrease but mainly makes it sound nicer.

[@aznnp77]

Mod 1: Muffler Delete. You'll get tickets for that where I live. And the sound will be raspy. And you won't pass your emissions test. Mod 4: LED/Xenon/Hyper White bulbs. I've probably had like 5 pairs of these in my life. Longest lasting pair I ever had for 8 months. Most of them died around the 4-6 month mark. So I never bought them again. I put back in my Honda oem bulbs and they lasted 5 years! Mod 2: I agree. Sway bar makes a big difference. Especially if you can get a used one from a compatible car instead of spending $200-300 on a Progress or Eibach or whatever brand.

Most important modification to do to your car is fixing every problem the car has the moment you get it. I know some may be hard and not fun or interesting to fix, but especially mods that increase power or power deliverance will cause strain, and if you dont fix problems that also affect the points you are modifying, you're asking for problems. So please fix you're current things that dont work, and then add on the car 👌

As a fellow car guy and Toyota mechanic, I 100% agree with this list. One thing that would add about pod filters is that they make your turbo sound soo much better(if you have one). Another cheap mod you can do to really change the feel of your car is to lighten it, and get rid of all the heavy stuff. You can get rid of 60ish kg pretty easy and the difference is like night and day(unless your car is naturally really heavy)

Couldn’t removing a large amount of weight set off the weight distribution though? I feel like it wouldn’t be much of a worry for rwd cars, because of the weight of the rear diff, but since most of the stuff being removed is in the rear, couldn’t that be more of a problem for fwd cars?

TBH before a pod filter, consider an aftermarket drop in filter (as in one that uses the stock airbox). Super easy to install, no AFR fuckery and you'll get anywhere from a tiny to surprisingly decent power increase - they're also cheaper on average.

[@BimmertechG01]

Very true, it's also killing two birds with one stone if you just bought the car used! I got my 328i used at 110k miles, it's an 07 so it's been around for awhile. I got a K&N drop in filter for it and when I opened the stock air box to put it in it looked like it had never been cleaned once and the filter was from 2011! Safe to say the car practically felt like it woke up once the box was cleaned with a fresh drop in filter.

[@donovansimison9336]

Pod filters are 20$ and a lot of car u can actually attach it to the stock air intake tube. K&N filters start around $50

[@kio51423]

@@donovansimison9336 cars usually come with a cold air intake design from factory. So getting a drop-in filter will be better for performance, compared to the pod filter. And it's not very safe to put a pod filter close to the ground too...but the sound you get is worth it anyway so I'd consider it a win-win 👌

[@fullclip_nz]

I considered a pod filter but my mate whos a mechanic says all they do is suck in warm air (cold air is good) and reduces performance, a happy medium is an aftermarket airfilter - i got a KnN high airflow one havnt used yet but sounds like the ticket cost around 100bux nzd

Just one thing if you're going to change out your headlights, You have to replace the housing For the lights because in some places it's actually illegal to put LED's In halogen light bulb housings Because they're not built for led's. Plus changing the housing out to housing that's made for LED's can make them look so much better, And function 2 to 3 times better because they will work properly.

[@nickroitman6743]

Im gonna be honest, I also "deleted" the muffler of my first car. But with time I learned that best doesn't mean louder, you can change the muffler with one that enhances the sound of your car without bothering people that just don't like loud noises. Also, research if you can legally do it where you live because otherwise the fine will be the same or bigger than the cost of a better muffler.

Most cars have resonators and deleting the muffler can make a very good sound without being ridiculously loud. I’ve done it on a few of my cars, and some of those mufflers are heavy as heck so that’s just increased performance just like that. Intakes especially on Toyotas usually decrease performance and not for the reasons you think. It comes down to how the maf reads the intake flow and a larger diameter or smoother intake will reduce the velocity of the air and most factory intakes have baffles that direct the air properly to the maf. I wish I never installed an intake on my mr2 spyder because it definitely is slower and makes an obnoxiously loud sound while starting up. I didn’t even get into how much power you are wasting by increasing intake temperatures since most factory intakes have some sort of way to get cold air from outside the engine bay and most aftermarket intakes that aren’t cold air intakes are sucking in 200 degree engine bay air. This isn’t even mentioning turbocharged card that 1 run even more hot and 2 changing the air fuel ratios will cause the car to run lean with an intake and exhaust without a tune and will likely blow the engine. I’m all for modified cars as mine are probably more modified than most out there but please do your research and do it right. I’ve learned through my experiences some modifications you want to do with some cars and some you don’t and you never want a hot ram intake. Never.

[@jrmyadventr]

I think one of the better mods you can do are deletes and simplifying systems (I want to do a manual brake conversion soon), though some deletes really stretch the ability to find comfort in daily driving. I've been hunting for fuel economy and freeing up horsepower in my civic since I haven't been able to afford performance mods. while it's not completely gutted, I have removed 600lbs of weight. fuel economy was the biggest thing to have improved, but I do notice at speeds above 60mph I have better acceleration and can now get above 100mph much easier than compared to the stock weight only barely being able to hit above 100mph. either way though, getting over 40mpg on the freeway is pretty awesome.

[@jonathanenciso]

I'm a car noobie. Taking off unnecessary weight is something I can start with. Your opinion what area of most cars can you look at to take weight off?

First thing everyone should do, Is make sure everything in the motor is solid, bushings, o rings, gaskets, etc, u don't want your cars motor to blow up on the top of a mountain, so just recommendation

[@malikgordon5291]

Completely agree and muffle delete is easy and cheap, but in the long run you’ll for sure lose mpg meaning you’ll be spending more money on gas

[@arcanevoid9199]

how are you gonna lose mpg from a muffler delete?

[@jozsefizsak]

In some less enlightened jurisdictions, muffler deletion is frowned upon, to say the least and the ticket twill cost you an arm and a leg. This is a problem if you're not a salamander and are unable to regrow them but there is a solution. Simply route the tailpipe inside the car and that wonderful noise will be heard without the attenuation of windows and bodywork even in the worst weather. Please note that it's not a perfect solution in every way. Brighter lights are safer but the allure of blue beats safety, so always get bulbs with a blue coating to filter out some red and yellow. Human vision being the least sensitive to blue light is also irrelevant in the face of the cool factor. A slightly different but also great mod is the headlight delete which then provides a perfect location for air intakes where there is an area of high pressure for free boost. Roads are lit anyway and the power you save by the alternator having less to do can go straight to the wheels. This is true. I have more, just say the word. Like why sway bars are a proverbial free lunch and should always be as thick as possible. Etc.😉

[@shannons6695]

If you remove your brakes your car will be faster also, weight reduction baby!

[@jozsefizsak]

@@shannons6695 They're usually unsprung weight so roadholding will improve if you toss them.Situational awareness obviates the necessity for brakes anyway.

[@flamingfortress04]

Just as an input on muffler deletes, while some of them do sound good, most v style American-made vehicles sound terrible in comparison to a replacement or just keeping the stock muffler on. My 4.3 S15 for example sounded rough in an 'I'm gonna die in my first corner" sort of way, and it ruined the sound inside and out of the vehicle

I'm 12 and I asked my neighbor how much his mustang would sell for when I turn 17...he dosnt use it and it's engine dosent work...he also is selling it so he said he would keep it until I'm old enough...i can't wait

[@The4j1123]

Just make sure to do an inspection on it when you get older, and try to figure out what's wrong with it. If he hasn't tried to fix it, and is willing to sell it to you in 5 years, it could possibly be a really hard problem to work on. Find a friend who knows a lot about cars, and have them look at it for you. Mustang's are cool, and I am jealous of your luck, but a broken Mustang wont get you anywhere. Good luck!

I think the best would be to change rims on the wheels because the rims are one of the first things you look at on a car

also lighter weight, slightly bigger to allow a bigger (upgraded) brake package and wrapped in good quality rubber. 100%

A boost controller and boost gauge if you have a turbo car is a much better upgrade for your car that will actually makes it better. It can be a cheap air pressure regulator that restricts the vacuum line on the turbo or a nice electronic one, definitely better than an air filter.

Alright if you touch your exhaust system or your intake system you SHOULD tune your ECU to match the new air/fuel ratio which is what dynos are for. Done that to my 700cc bike gained almost 20% more horsepower.

[@hopkinstreeexperts759]

The thing with the filter, I feel like they are a big benefit to other modifications. That is, the filter alone won’t make major gains, but when paired with other engine mods it’s a major W
