OK here's my approach. Don't skimp on the tint, but keep it tasteful. No front window, that's begging for it. I don't believe in big rims or lowering, you will be happier with the sport-tune from Infiniti if what you want to do is drive. Moving on...
Megan Racing headers cost $200 or so on eBay. Get the Z tube and either a CAI or a ram style intake. Replacing the plenum or adding a spacer is also a must. High flow cats are available as a package deal with a Kinetix plenum, so that's what I did. Next is a cat-back, but I would like to think I got way more out of the car at a similar cost with everything else. From what I understand, Stillen makes the only tame dual-path exhaust, which is a shame because the price is ridiculous, and I do not want a huge chrome coffee can bellowing at the road behind me.
I got the headers for $180, the Stillen intake and Z-tube for $250, and the plenum and cats for $650, bringing my grand total to $1,030. For another $1,500 I will have the Stillen exhaust and an ECU flash. Don't forget to upgrade the brakes, and soon. I went with R1, anything is better than stock.
There you go, hope it helps.
