WANTED: the best bang for the $ mods based on your own experiances

I have just purchased a 02 GLE auto and am looking for the best performace per $ mods available. I am not into MAJOR mods such as
superchargers/turbos or extremely loud exhaust. This is my family
car and my wife (who need not know what I am up to...) will be driving it as much as I am. I may also upgrade my wheels/tires to
18x8.0 with 245/45/18's (given no clearance problems) to give a slightly more aggressive stance and install strut braces. Mostly interested in speed/quickness.

Thanks for and and all suggestions!

I don't use the stuff myself but I would recommend nitrous considering it's only on when you want it. You could hide the switch away and maybe the bottle, if your crafty, and noone else need know.

 

Congrats on the purchase

Are you talking about speed, styling or handling mods?

 

Power: Y-Pipe
Handling: RSB

Do a search on those things and you'll find a lot of good info here from previous threads.

 

there is no y-pipe for a 2k2 yet, rigth now i haven't seen any dynoes that break the 10 hp from the frankencar intake available at www.frankencar.com $140 for 10hp

The intake is nice, good gain and sweet sound at wot but otherwise sounds pretty stock. There is a Y - pipe in development which should bring 10-20 hp.

 

i heard stillen might offer headers but they will prolly be 600+ and another 200 to install them. i'm not doing that myself.

 

Oh yeah...oops. The RSB is still a good call in my opinion.

Steve: You're supposed to make the subject of those posts..."shameless self-promotion."

I'm just playing around...I really don't care about the self-advertising.

 

i know i do it sometimes but i have yet to see any other dynoes beat mine. and RSB is good too, my stillen from my 95 fit.

 

Hands down my intake is the best bang for the buck mod out there.
