CTA HAI - around $160 Optimized TB - around $120 Ford Racing wires - around $35 Tranny coller - around $55 Coil pack - around $55 Exhaust - over $500 SuperChip - over $220 I am not counting any suspension mods, any looks or audio mods since that wasn't the question. I would say that the most expensive mod was Eibach + BAT springs, and the least expensive "Mobile" engine bay sticker MY CAR
