Default st170 mods

I have a 2003 st170 and only thing that is done is a k@n typhoon induction kit. I'm looking some advice as what is best and not to expensive to do.I have heard the standard exshaust is a good system and to stay away from powerflow systems.

When you either can think of any more examples or the list is too long you say "etc." at the end of the sentence.

When I had mine, it was on the rolling road and wouldn't get much more than 150, I pulled the ABS/Traction control fuse out and it RR at around the 170 without Bluefin. The ABS/Traction control wasn't letting it have full power because the rear wheels where moving obvs.

I think I got around 178-180 with Bluefin, panel filter and exhaust.
