Nothing is really easy and cheap. Meaning, you could get new wider tires like 225's and be faster. Not much work there, but tires are expensive. You could get a Cold Air Intake, but I for one think this has a moderate amount of work involved for a do it yourself type of project. This is coming from a guy whose first mod will be a CAI w/ bypass. Just about everythig else is heavy on the price side like Headers. I wouldn't waste time with an exhaust system -- doesn't add much HP for the amount of money spent.

Yup... I think that pretty much sums it up.

The only thing I can think of is getting a new air filter (K&N or Comptech - about $45) and removing the resonator (free). Probably good for a HP or two.

IMO if you're going to go through the trouble of removing the resonator, just buy and install the CAI and get the full 5-8hp gain. Still not much, but better then 1 or 2......
