First "inexpensive" mod? Short shifter or intake?

AFE short shifter - no contest.
The K&N Typhoon is arguably the best Hp producing intake in a vehicle that doesn't really benefit too much from aftermarket intakes, but is VERY loud, so think about that one a bt more.
edit: if you're looking for a very cost effective intake consider the Racng Beat Ram Duct mated to the stock airbox and using a K&N flat filter. This necessitates removal of the bumper (not very hard) so you can in turn remove the VFAD (also not very hard and a good thing). ~$185USD for noticeably better response.

i had the exact same question. I'm selling some rims to a friend and with the money i'm wanting to either get a CAI or SS. I was lookin at the typhoon and AEM CAI and i can't really find SS online for my rx8. Anybody have links to any SS's?

Richard Paul's Axial Flow Engineering FTW!

Scroll about 2/3 the way down the page.
this is THE most popular Short shifter out there. I think Mazdaspeed had one for a while but it was overpriced and no one bought it. Whenever you hear someone mention a SS, this is the one they speak of.

No one will ever part with their AFE SS. 
btw: a Voodoo Magnum **** for it is recommended and a laser etched shift pattern is also nice (Joe at http://www.knobmeister.com/page14.ph...roductListPage will take care of you; just specify a 6-speed pattern).
