Best mod/dollar is the whiteline brace and perrin bushings. For 80 bucks, you get a solid, firm, nice, positive shift experience. It's so rewarding and brings on so many endorphines when you drive.

Concur, but you don't get the nice cool sound with the KN drop in
So you pay an additional $300 for 2 more HP and the sound
