1.) What do you want re: performance?
2.) What do you want to spend?
3.) Where do you want to start?

helps a lot, as does with anything shopping around.

Ebay isn't always bad. You just have to do your research and know what you're buying.

Warpspeed YPipe (best mod for the money), custom intake, exhaust, NWP IM spacers, timing advance, gut the cats or get headers, etc....

OR

Go the suspension route and make it handle better, get a good spring/strut combo.

Cone filter intake, obx or cattman headers and y-pipe. MES (3" or 2.5") cat-back. Vafc2, emanage, etc. Simple nitrous kit, sc, turbo... Search google for those names. If you're automatic then get a B&M trans cooler, amsoil synthetic fluid (complete flush like 10qts), valve body upgrade, etc. If you're stickshift get a short shifter at least.

Leave the cat-back stock. Work on a good intake, and headers. That alone will net 30-40 whp. It did in my case.
