I would say CAI/Tuner combo first. It'll feel so much different from stock.
2nd, IMO, tires and/or rims if you don't like your stock rims. Stock tires were never anything to really rave about, not too sure about 2010 stock tires, but you may still sell them if they are near brand new. Also once you get a tune, especially if it's automatic, you'll want that extra grip for sure. lol. It's that good. There is virtually no throttle response lag, AT ALL (automatic). I went with Brenspeed and I'm very satisfied. Congrats on the purchase and welcome!!

Oh, I see you're in NJ, 2010 may come with stock summer tires, so you may want to double check and take it easy on the roads.. if you didn't get a blizzard either.

Hmm. Well I have manual transmission and I'm not sure about the tires. I'll have to look into that but I'm pretty sure they are all-season tires.

Do you recommend a certain CAI/Tune? Theres 4 on brenspeed

Also for suspension, as someone recommended earlier, what kind of suspension should I be looking at? Links to specific things are helpful

I went with Brenspeed. They get rave reviews on there and I'm happy I did too.

I bought my '06 used, and well, wasn't aware they were summer tires. After I wiped out hard on the guardrail in winter, it was a little too late. Just passing that on.

Haha thanks for the advice, I'll check out that as soon as possible

But on brenspeed they have 4 CAI/Tuners that are all within about a $150 range of eachother. Whats the differences? and is it worth it to get the most expensive one

I went with BBK.. just for the fact I wasn't planning on getting a tune, which was a mistake. Most people on here will tell you that any CAI that requires a tune will be comparable. It also depends on what other mods you plan on doing. Hopefully some of those other guys can chime in and give you a better idea or you can talk with Brenspeed about what you plan on doing and which one they would recommend.

Ok thanks for all the help

right now I plan to get over the summer in order

1. CAI/Tune (brenspeed prob)
2. Exhaust (prob Rouch or the Magnaflow)
3. Suspension (not sure which to get, but heard it helps with handling)


And then over the next couple years ill prob get gears, bigger wheels, and then eventually a supercharger in prob 5 years (once im out of college)

Just FYI Roush has an off road and street legal system for their exhaust. The street legal will sound slightly more mild. Luckily 2010 doesn't need to have their rear valance
