Best mod to do is upgraded brake pads and rotors, being able to stop quickly is just as important as good acceleration.
@Tyler Westman Dimpled and slotted rotors are a massive improvement over stock brakes. along with high temperature pads and steel brake lines.What the hell are you on about.
@Tyler Westman most mods are just upgrades of shit your car already has like his whole list....

@@brandonvega4654 stopping better means stopping faster my boy are you dumb😂stopping more smoothly? is that what you mean by better bc if so i think i can endure a rougher break if it means saving time and money and so can others 🤦🏽♂️
@@gbcpoop9504 it means your brakes wont fail in a track and will be more effective during higher temperatures compared to street brakes which are typically better for lower temps that will be seen more often in everyday scenarios
Some may call you a ricer, some may insult you for having a camry, but me sir....I applaud you for taking what you have available and making the best of it. To me, a guy who has been in the "car scene" since before the fast and the furious, THIS is how the real car scene has ALWAYS been. Much love and respect. Stay true brother
I have a Camry with a big COI and I was thinking of chopping the muffler off or getting a cutout.. and when he said unless you have a Camry it made me want to do it so much more
@@benjaminschmidt246 I have a Camry also the xle try make it look the best I can and to a point doesn’t look stupid or sound like a pissed of bumblebee and get it to 300hp on 32 away

TRUTH. Born in 81, baby.. actually have to imports. 2014 Nissan altima low miles. 2016 Toyota camry lower miles. Selling Nissan this weekend. Any advise on how to gain roughly 35 to 40 horses would be appreciate. Know a decent bit, but have never owned Toyota til now.
As someone who has a modded Corolla I loved this video, it's got blackout tint a sub system that I couldn't live with out and I have a flowmaster. Out of the other cars I've had my Corolla has the best sound it's so loud and that's that I had to make adjustments bc I got fined like crazy(CA laws)
Mod 1: Muffler delete, it improves the sound (may not work for all cars).
Mod 2: Sway bars, connects the suspension of the wheels and improves handling.
Mod 3: Short throw shifter, it reduces the motion of shifting gears.
Mod 4: LED light bulb headlights, it may make the light bluer like xenon headlights and increase the light output to make it look nicer during night.
Mod 5: Pod filter, may increase performance or decrease but mainly makes it sound nicer.
Mod 1: Muffler Delete. You'll get tickets for that where I live. And the sound will be raspy. And you won't pass your emissions test.
Mod 4: LED/Xenon/Hyper White bulbs. I've probably had like 5 pairs of these in my life. Longest lasting pair I ever had for 8 months. Most of them died around the 4-6 month mark. So I never bought them again. I put back in my Honda oem bulbs and they lasted 5 years!
Mod 2: I agree. Sway bar makes a big difference. Especially if you can get a used one from a compatible car instead of spending $200-300 on a Progress or Eibach or whatever brand.
Muffler delete is a good way to have your entire neighborhood hate you lmao
wish i looked up that muffler deletes are fucking illegal before i tried it -_-

Most important modification to do to your car is fixing every problem the car has the moment you get it. I know some may be hard and not fun or interesting to fix, but especially mods that increase power or power deliverance will cause strain, and if you dont fix problems that also affect the points you are modifying, you're asking for problems. So please fix you're current things that dont work, and then add on the car 👌
you are right but not every power increase will cause strain. and most cars (especially japanese) will have no problems with increased power
good metaphor for life tbh
As a fellow car guy and Toyota mechanic, I 100% agree with this list. One thing that would add about pod filters is that they make your turbo sound soo much better(if you have one). Another cheap mod you can do to really change the feel of your car is to lighten it, and get rid of all the heavy stuff. You can get rid of 60ish kg pretty easy and the difference is like night and day(unless your car is naturally really heavy)
Couldn’t removing a large amount of weight set off the weight distribution though? I feel like it wouldn’t be much of a worry for rwd cars, because of the weight of the rear diff, but since most of the stuff being removed is in the rear, couldn’t that be more of a problem for fwd cars?
@@gunnarshiverdecker8674 What are you talking about

@@vladimirjano9478 just a piece of pipe where the muffler used to be, hence the nickname straight pipe, although sometimes that means no cats as well

My first mods where actually headlights on my 94 teggy. Taught me the very basics of wiring, and honestly just a good introduction to the soon after hardcore addiction that I was not aware I would have.
Hell uea man. Same
I did a resonator delete and replaced it with a cherry bomb 😂
It’s loud but not bad enough to get pulled over, and sounds amazing too.
I have a cherry bomb exhaust on my 2005 colorado and it sounds super solid
TBH before a pod filter, consider an aftermarket drop in filter (as in one that uses the stock airbox). Super easy to install, no AFR fuckery and you'll get anywhere from a tiny to surprisingly decent power increase - they're also cheaper on average.
Very true, it's also killing two birds with one stone if you just bought the car used! I got my 328i used at 110k miles, it's an 07 so it's been around for awhile. I got a K&N drop in filter for it and when I opened the stock air box to put it in it looked like it had never been cleaned once and the filter was from 2011! Safe to say the car practically felt like it woke up once the box was cleaned with a fresh drop in filter.
Pod filters are 20$ and a lot of car u can actually attach it to the stock air intake tube. K&N filters start around $50
@@donovansimison9336 cars usually come with a cold air intake design from factory. So getting a drop-in filter will be better for performance, compared to the pod filter. And it's not very safe to put a pod filter close to the ground too...but the sound you get is worth it anyway so I'd consider it a win-win 👌
I considered a pod filter but my mate whos a mechanic says all they do is suck in warm air (cold air is good) and reduces performance, a happy medium is an aftermarket airfilter - i got a KnN high airflow one havnt used yet but sounds like the ticket cost around 100bux nzd
After watching the lemon factor intake dyno tests on an accord, unless you change the airbox, I doubt any power increase occurs
Remember with new LED bulbs to readjust your beams. The low beams height should be the same height as the headlight housing, at about 10ft away. The driver side beam should be twisted slightly in, and the passenger beam ever slightly out.
how do you do this
@@supermaxr5093 Theres two screws on the headlight housing to adjust each axis.
Very nice ideas. My first mad was LED headlights and, license plate lights. 2nd muffler swap. Third rain guards.
On my first mod now with the lights too! Nice list to follow
My first 3 mods so far have been a cold air intake, a BOV and a catback exhaust. Completely worth all the money I've spent. It sounds absolutely nothing like the stock car did and I've gained a fair bit of performance out of it too.

fun and affordable
i bought a k&n cold air intake for my 2009 honda accord and it definitelyyy improves performance
Just bought an A4 1.8T, and I did a muffler delete. It's not too loud, but it definetely sounds way better. Glad you mentioned it. 100% agree.
what about an exhaust cutout? ive got one, and its great for a daily. When going to work early, getting home late, or avoiding the police, its great to have a choice at your fingertips.
How long have you had it for and do you know if it leaks?
@@sugamai ive had it installed for about a month now, and so far i haven't noticed any leaks. Just make sure its a good design though, the cheap ones tend to leak. I got mine from summit racing.
i did a muffler delete today, i had to cut it off, didnt have a hacksaw, used a hand saw and it took me 3 hours
That probably sounds horrible lol
Why didnt you just rent the tool
😂😂 u ruined ur shit
Damn
Just got my first project car and this video is the best thing about getting that car 🤩 appreciate it man.
my first modification to my car was either tint or rims(granted i went from factory steel to factory alloy, still looks 10x better then before), then the next mod was the exhaust(had dual Flowmaster 40 series installed on my car by a shop, i would have tried but, they needed to be welded in, looks and sounds good, I have a video of how it sounds on my channel), but that is where i left off due to the transmission failing in it, and cant have it fixed anytime soon, but it will be back and even stronger then before
Definitely #1 thing to do:
PHHHHAAAAATTTT TURBOOOO
As many as you can, remove the hood if needed. MORE POWAA
Good vid! One thing I’d recommend is not parking your car in the street if you can help it. I parked my S10 Xtreme in the street for 4 days and on the 4th day, while I was away at work someone had smashed into the back of it and bent the frame, busted out the back window and the dashboard popped out 😢 with the insurance claim from that and a tax return I managed to get my hands on a Mk 3 Supra tho 🤘
Personally as a first quick modification to a car I normally suggest a extra set of brake pads just incase of braking issues and maybe some seat belts cause personally ima very tall individual and the normal selt belts cut my neck at times and cam get a bit uncomfortable so some after market seat belts or racing belts I also do agree with the muffler delete as a cheap thing to do as well
It feels like I've been searching for this video forever. Thank you bro i needed that information, i can't wait to try a muffler delete on my Leon FR ❤️

For me I put in a trunk pop kit that opens the trunk from the FOB, hood struts instead of that hideous prop rod, window tint, and a resonator delete w/ h-pipe. Next mods will be intake, lowering springs, and jacking rails. Enjoyed your video!
Best muffler delete I've ever done was resonator back delete on my B7 Passat 1.8t. Sounds amazing. I also did a bypass valve spacer so I could get the turbo woosh.
is it illegal to do a resonator delete? tempted
@@szxci9885 depends, but usually no. It’s the cats and mufflers they get upset about.
hey Rex, thanks for the video!!!
I recently got myself a 'Nissan ex saloon' probably between 2004-2009 I'll have to check.
I have to fix a lot of things, and your videos are really helping me out!!!
Today i cleaned the whole engine, currently waiting for it dry so i can put the battery in and start it!!!
Thanks for the tips!
btw, window tints and some nice rain caps are also some cool starter customizations.
Great content as always! Thinking of starting my own channel soon! Gunna start the channel and do a mod series on my stock 1999 Camry XLE v6. you inspired me!
Got a Momo steering wheel cover for my EK1 Civic... feels like a brand new wheel and super simple
So about 2 years ago I was like everyone else in the comments with no car and just dreaming of having one. Today, I am happy to announce to the people of the Internet that I got my first car today!!! 🙌🙌
Glass in halogen headlights is designed to diffuse light from halogen headlights only, so you need to change glass too, or the whole headlight
dude i love your car so much, the simplicity look it gives off is amazing😂
For my first mod I threw myself in the deep end and swapped the wheel hubs from 4 to 5 stud in addition with new coils. This is an awesome list, very different and very valid. Good on you for not rehashing everyone else’s list.
Since im gonna be a welder and not a mechanic i love watching these videos to expand my knowledge as much as i can!
Heat shield is what is needed I assume for the pod filters.
I put an intake in my 99 bonneville and it sounds freakin hot dude. would recommend 9/10
Sunstrips I think really makes your car look better and does block the sun as an added bonus
Best cheap mod is learn how to vinyl wrap, and black out/color change little details on your car that you want. I’ve done a couple chrome deletes and wrapped parts of my interior in white camo, and love the look.
POD FILTER!! Rex you were the guy that convinced me to get one on my 98’ Vienta haha thank you so much! Best mod everrr 😜
Hahahaha mad! And it's definitely my fav mod for the Camry ! Might lose some power ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk but the sound Is nuts
Honestly you are an amazing youtuber, please keep making content
Also great as first mods do the service yourself great for building confidence before tackling bigger things
Im gonna be honest, I also "deleted" the muffler of my first car. But with time I learned that best doesn't mean louder, you can change the muffler with one that enhances the sound of your car without bothering people that just don't like loud noises. Also, research if you can legally do it where you live because otherwise the fine will be the same or bigger than the cost of a better muffler.
this is perfect i get an altima soon and i needed ideas
sell it and get something you can modify
You and your mr2 are goals
Thanks man ♥️
Just one thing if you're going to change out your headlights, You have to replace the housing For the lights because in some places it's actually illegal to put LED's In halogen light bulb housings Because they're not built for led's. Plus changing the housing out to housing that's made for LED's can make them look so much better, And function 2 to 3 times better because they will work properly.
Have been looking for a video like this. Thank you
Hey rex I was the kid with the glasses on the bike today! thanks for showing us around your MR2 it was such a clean car and made my day cheers!

i love your mr2
Just got my first car, loved the video bro!
Just got a 92 accord ex for cheap , cool upload
Most cars have resonators and deleting the muffler can make a very good sound without being ridiculously loud. I’ve done it on a few of my cars, and some of those mufflers are heavy as heck so that’s just increased performance just like that. Intakes especially on Toyotas usually decrease performance and not for the reasons you think. It comes down to how the maf reads the intake flow and a larger diameter or smoother intake will reduce the velocity of the air and most factory intakes have baffles that direct the air properly to the maf. I wish I never installed an intake on my mr2 spyder because it definitely is slower and makes an obnoxiously loud sound while starting up. I didn’t even get into how much power you are wasting by increasing intake temperatures since most factory intakes have some sort of way to get cold air from outside the engine bay and most aftermarket intakes that aren’t cold air intakes are sucking in 200 degree engine bay air. This isn’t even mentioning turbocharged card that 1 run even more hot and 2 changing the air fuel ratios will cause the car to run lean with an intake and exhaust without a tune and will likely blow the engine. I’m all for modified cars as mine are probably more modified than most out there but please do your research and do it right. I’ve learned through my experiences some modifications you want to do with some cars and some you don’t and you never want a hot ram intake. Never.
Before you said the first one, I paused and said to myself “first thing anyone should do is a muffler deleted or exhaust tip” then ya said it, this video has been agreed and approved, have a nice day
I agree... good vid bud!
So exited to do these things to my 01 Nissan Sentra :D
I've put tint on of course the windows and i put some on my taillights, done a muffler delete but it really isnt loud enough for my liking so I'm gonna do a res delete next, after that an intake and a lip and diffuser 😂
Why would you remove the muffler?
@@iloveyoushima4953 Makes the car louder
just an fyi, installing performance modifications on a vehicle without tuning it is going to decrease horsepower more often than not, the intake for example will be adding more air to the engine but the ecu doesnt know that so it injects insufficient fuel for best combustion and will decrease power due to your air fuel mixture being more lean
Complete bs, get a k&n filter.
Facts
got zero knowledge about cars just like driving them but this helps to know what to ask for when handing to people that know what they are doing
One of the best videos iv seen about modifications that you can do at home for cheap. does anyone know if a short air/cold air intake is good on Hyundai Veloster turbo?
First thing I did was optimize software to be in the 300 HP club, next I wanna do kw2 or sth for better driving feelz
Hitch, roof rack, lift kit, light bar, tint my usual list
ive never called those filters pod filters but now i will. anyways great video even a year later. super helpful

Love this video and love how you break everything down to why. /smashes that subscribe button, politely.
Dude this was such a great video!
Thanks a ton!
Well in the UK there is laws about how loud a car is allowed to be on the road so that why people use performance exhaust for better sound. And plus they are introducing 'Noise cameras' to target those vehicles they call too noisy.
that’s dumb
Smart. Loud cars are obnoxious. Sorry guys. I like cars, but making them loud in a city is a crappy thing.
I love your idea of mods for this video. They’re cheap and noticeable mods, definitely the right mods after just buying a car :)
okay i left sub cuz of toyotas
just got me a 97 corolla. I orderd an intake, next im getting after market bumpers. then I will lower it and get new wheels :) Love the video! and the idea!
Hi, question. If mods like sway bars etc drastically improve the handling and feel, then are they standard on more modern cars? Cheers
yes they are, when you get aftermarket sway bars they are bigger/stronger and usually adjustable. thats where you get the better handling from :)
@@arcanevoid9199 great thanks 👍
modern cars have soft swaybars because the focus is comfort while driving on the roads and less feel for the bumps and such on the streets, a stiff swaybar makes the response way more so you feel everything which is uncomfortable
@@arcanevoid9199 question! If you replace something like sway bars on your car would that pass a smog check?
@@Luisjr_04 yes, it’s not going to alter the emissions in any way
A boost controller and boost gauge if you have a turbo car is a much better upgrade for your car that will actually makes it better. It can be a cheap air pressure regulator that restricts the vacuum line on the turbo or a nice electronic one, definitely better than an air filter.
Just got my first car so this is definitely useful
This video was very helpful
I'm 12 and I asked my neighbor how much his mustang would sell for when I turn 17...he dosnt use it and it's engine dosent work...he also is selling it so he said he would keep it until I'm old enough...i can't wait
Just make sure to do an inspection on it when you get older, and try to figure out what's wrong with it. If he hasn't tried to fix it, and is willing to sell it to you in 5 years, it could possibly be a really hard problem to work on.
Find a friend who knows a lot about cars, and have them look at it for you. Mustang's are cool, and I am jealous of your luck, but a broken Mustang wont get you anywhere. Good luck!

When I got my very first car it was someone else's beater: a 2005 Nissan Almera Sport N16. I loved the design of it and where I'm from there's lots of spare mechanical parts but collision parts are a nightmare to get.
Anyways: even though it had ABS (something my country didn't require as of 2017) the tires were a nightmare, the suspension was shot, the brakes were shit but the rest of the car was just fine. Engine and transmission were okayish, the interior might have been dirty and a bit neglected but it was kinda nice overall.
So, the very first thing I did was to buy tires. People overlook tires a lot but to be honest it is the bestest mod you can do to any car you want, it doesn't matter if it's your track toy or your daily driver or both. A nice set of tires (mine were Michelin Primacy 4, nothing too crazy) and I was the first one in my entire family to use "a lot of money" in something that they considered not worth it. So, with the right specs I just got out of it many benefits, better braking time, better fuel economy, the car looked cleaner and nicer, cornering grip wasn't scary anymore, I could drive relatively high speeds in rainy conditions and all of it just with a simple set of tires. Those tires had saved me big-time many times from absurdly stupid collisions even today. Sadly my dear Almera passed away when I totaled him while I had a medical condition during traffic. I almost died that July 20th, 2019 but I managed to avoid my demise thanks to a nice set of tires worth a month and a half salary. He, my Almera, was my best buddy and made me happy during the worst times of my life. And his tires now live on in my 2006 Nissan Sentra B15 and their grip is almost as good as the first day I bought them.
I hope that one day I can get the same model just for the good times I had in it. My first touge run, my first therapy drive at night, the first car where I did my first road trip alone... And if I ever get one I'll swap the engine for a 2J Racing fully built QR25DE lol. Amen.
I did an egr delete on a 03 Acura TL. It’s a controversial mod but in my opinion it really shot the torque up and throttle response even idling it feel better without those exhaust gases choking out the engine
In some less enlightened jurisdictions, muffler deletion is frowned upon, to say the least and the ticket twill cost you an arm and a leg. This is a problem if you're not a salamander and are unable to regrow them but there is a solution. Simply route the tailpipe inside the car and that wonderful noise will be heard without the attenuation of windows and bodywork even in the worst weather. Please note that it's not a perfect solution in every way.
Brighter lights are safer but the allure of blue beats safety, so always get bulbs with a blue coating to filter out some red and yellow. Human vision being the least sensitive to blue light is also irrelevant in the face of the cool factor. A slightly different but also great mod is the headlight delete which then provides a perfect location for air intakes where there is an area of high pressure for free boost. Roads are lit anyway and the power you save by the alternator having less to do can go straight to the wheels. This is true.
I have more, just say the word. Like why sway bars are a proverbial free lunch and should always be as thick as possible. Etc.😉
If you remove your brakes your car will be faster also, weight reduction baby!
@@shannons6695 They're usually unsprung weight so roadholding will improve if you toss them.Situational awareness obviates the necessity for brakes anyway.
