Don't waste money on an CAI you don't feel much or any horsepower from them unless you have major mods, but if you were too get one carbonio makes one of the best for our cars, get your ecu flashed with GIAC or apr tuning or even start with a turbo back exhaust.

I'd buy a stock intake. Why didn't the car come with one?

Youre also coming up on timing belt number 2, unless the first one was done late. Id say do that first so you know youll have the car for a while.

Have you had your car chipped? I plan on doing it, but I want a few opinions first and see if it is worth the money. I am a college student and money is tight. I have a cat. back exhaust not sure if that makes a difference with the APR tune chip I want to get.

Before you mod make sure all the maintenance is up to date!!

We have the entire North American Parts Catalog LIVE & Search-able on our site if you ever need to obtain OEM parts pricing!

We also have the ability to source all available European OEM parts as well!

At the top right hand corner there's a search box where you can type in part numbers or look up the part by name.

Check it out HERE!


Let me know if you have any questions!

Pete
