Can i get some performance ideas??

I have lots of money to throw at it right now. I love this car down to the spark plugs. Now that I've fixed all its issues since I purchased it, its now time for performance mods!

So far all i know to get is Dc headers... do you guys have any ideas on what else i could put in here to make it sound and drive quicker??

Do cold air intake, headers, Lightweight pulleys, exhaust. You can also do an intake manifold swap. That alone should give you 30+ horsepower to the wheels and a good sound also. I am gettig the 09 tl intake manifold on mine. If you got the money get a supercharger nothing beats the sound of that supercharger. do you have a type s or tl p?

CAI, Headers, Pulleys are a good start.

PM me if you need specific brands or links to the parts for pricing.

Doing all that don't forget some better motor mounts unless you plan to swap out failed oem mounts frequently. XLR8 can sell u those too. Got their mounts and pulleys and am satisfied w both.

I do but I'll have to post later, I have new ones on the computer at home. Here's an old one before I installed my headers.

I wrote a whole bunch of other things and what some of you guys are worried about is the fact that i wrote "i have lots of money to throw at it". if that's what some of you are concerned with. I dont need your replies.

I much appreciate the responses that are on topic though
