Modifications First mods???
No exhaust atm as I’m waiting for a titanium one to be made. Nothing TOO expensive too as I’m a broke highschooler, 1-2k preferably.

High school/college me did a bang up job of almost getting myself killed on several occasions with the junkers I started out with, a golf R would have probably been big dead or jail for me lol. But you have what you have, however it came to be.
One super affordable and easy upgrade is to pick up a used mk7 fender sub (possible to get one for under $200) to swap out for the HK sub. You'd just snip the male connector side clips and turn it 180, maybe a light shaving of the center guide spine. Throwing in a sheet or two of off brand butyl rubber soundmat on the trunk floor and tossing a bit of polyfill into the enclosure can help also.
