Best $500 modification?

What $500 mods would you say are the best ? Either 1 $500 mod or a bunch of little mods. Just running out of things to do and need some insight!

I knew I'd see CAI as the first post.

Short throw shifters are nice, too. I've got MGW. http://www.mgwltd.com/camaro2010_sho..._shifter.shtml

MRT 2 is an axle back for the 5th Gen V6 Camaros...it doesn't fit and isn't built for the V8 exhaust system.

Save your money and get a set of Long Tube Headers if you just want it louder, a good set will set you back around $1500
