I didn't do the work myself. I bought this car used , link to pics and mods here:

I do have all the receipts for the work performed and even talked to the shop that did all the work before buying the car. The shop is called German Tech in Florida. I can get you more details if you'd like. The receipts for the engine work total approx $7,500. I also have a techart price list in pdf I can send you. In line with the German Tech receipts, the basic cost breakdown is:
Parts
- exhaust kit #3 (they have three levels of mod...this being the highest end they do), which includes exhaust system, mild air intake mod, ECU swap, and throttle body swap is about $2,100.
- Headers (and pre-cat delete) $1,600 - the German Teach guys claim that this is the key to getting the full bang for the buck
- The new side air intake vents / snorkel set up was about $900 including painting
- The rest is labor
Not sure I could stomach that much $$ for the mods, but the car really is noticeably more fun. The previous owner put a littel over $15k of mods on the car. I was looking for 01 or 02 s's, and figured a nice condition / color 01 with 24k miles could be bought for around 32k (I bought through a licensed / bonded consignment dealer). I paid $37k for this car, so I basically spent $5k for the mods (engine stuff, suspension stuff, nice stereo set up, and k40 laser / radar system).
