you can do almost anything that the MT can do. most common are intake header exhaust upgrades. its all about personal opinion as far as which ones you want. SRI vs CAI, race headers (no cat, which is illegal) vs hi flow cat (legal everywhere except CA), and exhaust is mostly about sound (loud, deep, ricer)

He's right, but will you notice a difference with these mods? Probably not enough to make it worth the $$. The fact that it's an automatic makes this even more true, unfortunately.

I'd say stick to cosmetic upgrades; You aren't really limited at all at what you can do in that area!

as others have mentioned, leave the engine alone; no point of upgrading it since it's an auto. you can still make use of a better suspension though.

Why didn't you get a better car if you're so bored with this one?
