Consider the following a list of mods I would do if I was planning to stay NA but wanted the best bang for buck in performance
I have done all these mods( I have a 5AT though - clutch/flywheel was on friends car) and many variations. That it why I recommend it as such.
Plenum spacer ($100used - $300 new)
High flow cats (or ART pipes) $200 used - $600 new
cat-back exhaust ($300 used - $1700new)
Machined lower plenum ($50DIY -$200have it machine by someone like me -$400MREV2)
intake (R2C, or STILLEN, JWT = hot air ingestion) ($150-300)
lightweight flywheel
lightweight pulleys ($200-300)
Final drive gears
headers (some headers have shown to lose power - get a good design which is never cheap)
this doesn't include any suspension or handling mods like sway bars, lower tie braces, strut bar braces, shocks, springs, coilovers, etc
