Put on the shorty antenna and K&N Filter today, hey it's a start!
Good call. You'd definitely need the pulley tool for an auto, and at that point you're already in for $50 unless you sell it to someone else.

Intake you can do yourself with a basic toolkit.

Cat-back you can do yourself with a basic toolkit, floorjack and a couple of jackstands, but that's some backbreaking work that you might want to just pay someone to do for you unless you have access to a lift to make it real easy.

Tune is a no-brainer, and depending on who you get it from, they'll probably do it for you if they're local.

Springs you can do with a basic toolkit floorjack and jackstands.

Good luck and enjoy!
