Intake supposedly gives you 10+ hp but I didnt notice any hp gain.
Down pipe may give you 10-15 hp but has not been confirmed with a dyno.
Exhaust but no noticeable gain.
Then you are left with led light conversion inside and out or changing your fogs to HID, Tinted windows, add on pieces like roof spoiler or lip kits, or window visors. Just look up posts by "Defconskylude". He pretty much did everything you should or shouldnt do to a leased car including hood vents, homemade lipkits, baking the lights, and adding LS450 exhaust tips.
