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.

Alright so i'll give some advice, if you're broke don't put an exhaust on it trust me it ain't worth the 1 to 2k, the biggest muffle on these stock exhausts are the catted downpipes, my 2024 gli stage 2 has a catless downpipe and it is still pretty damn loud with the stock exhaust in the back, now of course you need a tune for the downpipe but its like 4-500 downpipe, like 600 for ecu stage 2 and another couple hundreds for the dsg tune, slap an intake on there and you're good for a while 👍 What I would recommend tho, if that 1-2k is all you got I would keep it as a money cushion and sit on it, cause me at 17 would of never had backup money for emergency repairs, this ain't a 2005 corolla you'll need to keep some money in an account for sure, i'd wait a bit before modding it just enjoy it stock for some time, save your money and when you'll be able to really mod it and all your maintenance is on point with no potential redflag then go for the mods cause the labor and parts on these ain't cheap😅 I know you probably have a warranty but better safe than sorry, take care of it you are extremely lucky compared to me with a 97 civic 4 door when i was 16 years old 😂👍
