CAI
UR Pulley
P2R Thermobody spacer
ATLP J-pipe

with installs and everything that should run you about $1k

then if you're willing to spend a bit over like another $200-ish you can get
HKS, ATLP, Excelerate, Comptech's exhaust

with all that down it's a little bit over $2000 and you're probably getting similar gains to the supercharger


honestly the supercharger is really for ppl who are serious, and are willing to blow that $5k.
you can also get Procats but there's some problems with wear and tear on the first cat so i wouldnt really jump immediately to that mod.

CAI - 200=250
UR Pulley = $345 shipped from Excelerate
P2R Thermobody spacer = price included with UR pulley above
ATLP J-pipe = thought it was $400 but 370 meh.

then

any of the listed catbacks

are all mods that have been thoroughly tested and have nothing wrong with them... unlike the procats

mine was closer to $2k

Why don't you take that $2000 and invest it into something where your money will appreciate rather than depreciate?

slam the sh*t out of it w/ some rims.

camber kit : $150
rims : $1200 +
tires : $800 on average
coils :$1000 on average

i'd get the coils and camber first, save, then get rims w/ tires.
If you wanna go cheaper, get some used rims on the black market.

I'm selling some 19's right now =)

If I had 2K to spend on the TL, I'd get the ATLP J-pipe, coilovers and a CAI, then I would use the rest to save up for some wheels.

The car looks great with a 2" drop, the J-pipe adds pretty good power, and you look stock, it also doesn't make the exhaust loud and annoying. The CAI is a decent mod to, you should get something out of it, the best part is the sound it makes.

Well for an exhaust (if you have a base TL) check out our exhaust:

https://acurazine.com/forums/audio-video-electronics-navigation-22/question-streeteffectz-174503/

I would recommend the AEM CAI too. We have those for $250 shipped.

Josh is right his BBE exhaust is pretty good, the gains if you look on that thread are pretty good and that's on an A/T TL.
