hey welcome to the site

couple performance things....still in the exhaust

get rid of u-bend between cat convertor and resonator with straight pipe
put a high flow cat on and get rid of that resonator for a piece of straight pipe


also if you dont want to spend the money on the cold air intake right now search on the forum for "gutted air box" i've heard that helps a bit too

but a k&n cold air intake works awesome on these cars

Thanks for the help my friend! and thanx for mentioning the gutted air box, but out of the two what would you recommend, a CAI or FWI?

You will get slightly colder air with a FWI, but it really might not be noticable. Drivers weight and junk in the trunk would probably make a bigger differance.

A dense, cold air charge should help improve any car's performance.

At this time, a K&N drop in is abou the only upgrade I plan to my '06s engine.
