Having a second opinion on this... what is your current car lacking? Obviously zero car payment is a major bonus in my book. I totally understand what it's like to lightly mod your car into "the perfect car", and then 5-6 months later get an itch to un-tap new potential.


Honestly, I think your first mod should have been something like an OFT and tune-out the torque dip. CAI to me is a pointless mod on these cars because they're not HP monsters, and depending which CAI you buy, you're just creating headache in the ease-of-maintenance department. Headers and exhaust are a good next step after OFT (I personally love the UEL sound), but TIRES are often overlooked (not to be confused with bigger/wider wheels). I think if you go too wide a tire, you'll feel underpowered and throw off the balance that this car was designed for. I think Brembos are overkill on this platform. Big racing brakes that don't heat up under street driving are less effective than a normal OE brake pad.
