Exhaust for sure. The stock exhaust is way too quiet.

Fix the nut behind the wheel: go get educated on driving the thing quickly, AutoX or HPDE, someone with a good reputation for quality instructors.

The first and only mod I've done to mine was removing the noise generator tube.

No one answer for the question. It depends on the individual needs, tastes, capabilities and cash flow of the owner. Driving it as it is for a little while and getting to know it will reveal to you things YOU may want to change.

LOL, these questions are hilarious... everyone has a different opinion. Change exhaust! OFT! Driving school! Put a sticker on it! Immediately sell it and buy a RC-F instead!

OP, what do you want to do with your car? Can't you decide for yourself? If you can't decide for yourself, you need to let us know a bit more about what you goals are, budget, and experience...
