Default Need Mods

Ok so I have an 05 Celica GT and I am looking for some sort of fun mods to do to it that are preferably cheap. It cannot effect any electronics though because of a warranty. I have a cat back on it the after market headlights/LED tail lights, blue LED dome lights, and mat lights inside. Any ideas would be pretty awesome thanks

i used to be a fan of engine noise, my bronco's practically straight piped and has no interior carpeting or sound deadening, that made me get tired of engine noise real quick when the only time you could talk was shouting at idle, then an ear splitting headache driving to wherever your going

totally up to you though, i suppose you could also do injectors/valve springs/valve seats/ rocker arms if you wanted, never done them on a gasoline vehicle so i have no clue what it entails, but cant be that hard, just pop the valve cover and get to working, just make sure to drain the fuel pressure, i imagine a couple hundred psi would hurt quite a bit

Wtf?! You're suggesting mods that you haven't even done? and to what benefit would these mods do? Running bigger injectors on the stock ecu is just asking for trouble and CELs. Valve springs, seats and rocker arms? Seriously?

haven't done on gasoline. nothing wrong with replacing worn components in making your vehicle more reliable. assuming he has 100k+miles on his vehicle on a 4 cylinder that revs round 3k at 65. that's a whole lot of head internal wear.

I straight piped my Civic and reversed the mod less than 10 days later. Too much noise, but exhaust can be modified and still stay bearable
