What size engine is in the car? Also, try www.summitracing.com and check out the exhaust packages. You can put in a K&N filter, but don't expect to feel just that alone in the seat of your pants. A good set of headers and cat back is definitely the place to start when you want to get a little more "umph" outta your car.

Start simple.

Figure out what engine is in there. Don't worry about stupid crap like a lightened flywheel yet. It won't benefit a basically stock engine, whatever it is. Start out with intake/exhaust work, brakes, suspension, head work, etc.
