what mods to get

ok so i am debating between an exhaust or a JB+

I have enough money to get both if i was only buying those but im going to buy an intercooler and drop in filter and im stuck debating between an exhaust or a JB+

im looking at the OBX exhaust since its fairly priced and im not looking for something too expensive

Looks like your goal is power, so get the jb+. Exhaust is part of the whole package though (see, hear , and feel - experience the car). Pick your immediate goal.

If you want power get another car. These cars are very hard to get a lot of power out of it. I give it to for at least going with a tune.

But a lot of power is not needed nor really helpful in these cars. A small boost is good. Too much and you'll never hook up the tires. These are light enough that with just a little more go-go they are a blast to drive.

where do you live?

But JB+ i'd choose over an exhaust. Just get a akrapovic or evolve downpipe instead for power and sound.

not really looking for much, just a little more tbh(or so i say now), this isnt a race car and stock the car is plenty fast(almost as fast as my old 370z nismo)

+1 on the JB+. Nothing else can come close to comparing on a price to performance ratio. Plus it takes 30 seconds to remove when it's emission check time.
