Which direction to go in? (Mods)

Hey guys~

I don't frequent the boards much at all, but I'm loving my fr-s, and have gotten many nice little toys for it through the vendors.

I generally don't ask for modding advice as I often know what I want, and have owned and modified a lot of cars- so this isn't another "will a catback net me 35rwhp without a tune" thread, I'm really stuck right now!

First, ALL my current mods are:
Invidia something catback
Invidia test pipe
Ddp motorsports Dynotune (I'll find the graph and post it later)
Pioneer touchscreen hu
2 10" Jl w3's
K&n drop in

And it is a 2013 manual btw


So my question is...I got the mod bug again, but just can't figure out what to do. I've never spent money on coils because I rarely track my cars, like not having sticky tires (a lot haha), and don't know what other mods would really add something to the car. Opinions?

The manifold (or header. Whatever) I was looking at was astronomically pricey with install, and they at least were honest in quoting me a 2hp gain. I hear they help with the torque-dip, but I know how to drive pretty well and it hasn't ever bother me that much.

Short shifter is the ther thing I was throwing around my head.

I feel rims are purely cosmetic, and I've always been content with stockers on all my cars as well. But if you feel they changed your life, I'm here to be persuaded lol.

My budget is no more than $2,000.

Thanks!
~Ryan

A header and a tune for that header will do you wonders. You'll like the extra torque you get.

Other than that, look into going FI. For your set up, I'd suggest a supercharger.
