What mods next?
Okay, I've got my 2006 V6, and so far, here's what I've had done to it:
* WebElectric Products sequential turn signals
* MAC cold air intake kit (73mm Mass Air System)
* SCT Xcalibrator2 tuner (tuned to 93 octane, no speed limiter, factor in the CAI)
* Redline Tuning QuickLIFT Elite hood struts
* DynoMax Ultra Flo dual exhaust cat-back (19434)
My question to you is, what next? I was thinking more of appearance mods than performance, but if there's a good-priced mod that'll help either the low-end stuff or the mileage, I'd love to hear it.
So far, I was thinking of HID lights, the quarter scoops, and under the hood, the plenum cover and maybe the radiator and shock tower covers.

RE: What mods next?
Limited Slip Differential, it allows us to spin both wheels instead of one. When you try to burnout, we're just spinning one wheel. In our cars it's not called LSD but T-Lok. Gears will improve your acceleration, pretty much 0-60, won't help much in performance, but I heard it sure makes it more fun! Maybe someone else can shed some more light and detail into gears, you can also search here.. tons of info provided. BTW, how's the car running with the tune + cai (is it canned? or did you get a custom tune from someone? i.e. brenspeed, evo, doug) and the exhaust? I plan to order my exhaust and get a tune + cai soon. A lot of improvement over stock?

I'll definitely check the gears - I'd like some better acceleration, for sure.
I basically went with the canned 93 octane tune, other than telling it to use the MAC CAI and taking off the speed limiter. It definitely seems to have "smoothed out" the engine, and it's a LOT quicker to respond - throttle lag's totally gone now.
The exhaust is definitely louder than before. It's got a nice bass to it now - it's like somebody hooked a subwoofer up to my exhaust.
