Re: new to the game... (draykis)
probably the cheapest and best mod you can do right now is intake...i think just about everyone else will agree with me on that. ive got the aem cold air intake and i like it allot. id go with intake if i were you, since its not that expencive and it makes the car louder and a bit more powerful.goodluck

Ditto to neo1Z,
???
Whats your goal?
Daily driver?
Weekend warrior/Auto-Xer, Track events?
1/4 mile? Just for Show?
Good mix of all?
More show than go? More go than Show, "Sleeper?"
Theres a Myriad of choices but like neo said, Whats the mileage? What do you want from the car? You need to draw up a plan, "trust me it helps and saves money down the road." What exact kind of performance do you want?
Help us help you.
And of course Welcome, I hope you are ready to become addicted to something more lethal than Crack!
Good luck,
A.

Go with the basic bolt-on's. Intake, header, and exhaust. Your still learning about your car so installing those basic bolt-on's yourself will help with the learning process. Welcome to the Import world
