that intake works, so spend your money elsewhere, the question u should ask is how much to you want to spend? other mods could be an o/r x pipe, headers, tb, tuner, ect. some people might say gear swap, but if you dont know how to drive your new car well all you are going to do is just spin more tire than you already do.

TB is throttle body. I would do some Longtubes headers such as Kooks or American Racing Headers (ARH) with their matching catted x-pipe into a catback of your choice. I am running ARH Longtubes, ARH Catted X and Borla Stingers and it sound sick!

Long Tube Headers, off road x-pipe, aluminum flywheel, aluminum driveshaft, Stewart or Mezeire water pump, Under drive pullies, bigger throttlebody, ported intake. Put everything on and then have it dyno tuned.

DO NOT GET 4:10's!!!!! they suck, if you plan on getting on the hiway then don't think about it...u will get 12mpgs..i know you didnt buy the damn thing as a hybrid, but damn they suck, i just changed to 3:55's from 4"10s, the car is sick quick 0-100 then its dead, i feel that 3:73's are the steepest you want to go gear wise, my .02.....but deff get a offroad mid pipe or do long tube headers, get a throttle body, and get a tuner to delete the rear oxygen sensors and tune for other mods, get some nice wheels and tires!!
