I was looking at the turbobacks, but i think for now they are a little to much. Just looking for mods around the prices of the exuasts and dp's and all. What do you think about cold air intakes?

It is really up to you in terms of exhaust. Whatever style you like. I am running running a JGT500 and loving it. But to be honest, if you want something to make your car more fun, front and rear sway bar and endlinks. That'll change the handling dynamics of your car. If you buy stuff used, you can get front and rear sway bars and endlinks for about the same as you could get a new exhaust. Think about it.

im still running on the stock endlinks 90,000 miles later
I would work on ncreasing grip and braking first. It makes the car a joy to drive. A good spring/strut combo, top hats, sways, ALK, pads, fluid, lines. A TBE without engine management can lead to premature failure. My idea of tuning is make it stop, make it stick, add more power.
Want a great first mod? Kartboy short shifter and bushings. One of my favorite mods, period.
