I'm just getting started on MODing my Baby. I don't want to anything to her that will damage her. Here's what I want to do: Lower; 1.5" to 2.0", clean aggressive exhaust note , and air flow, in that order. That is it for now.
Do you have any suggestions? All are welcomed.

AEM's cold air intake is very good choice; it makes great power and is very high quality.

well it kind of depends on how much you're willing to spend. Aznbo is absolutely correct about the drop.
but for just a different exhaust note you have options that vary in from 60$ with no gains to $1200 with some gains.

agreed, you really have to take into consideration what you want. looks, or performance. cause you will pay either way. also, for the 1000+ that you can spend on an exhaust, the ammount that you actually feel wont be too much.

My TL is a 3.2 270 hp, 2004 base, rolling on kumho 245/40/17s.
I checked out the H&R springs and the coilover. They have recieved good reviews, thanks for that suggestion.
In addition, If you know, how much of a hp gain will the CAI give her? The research tells me 5-10. Is it true or are the pulling a slow one?

i reciently did the CAI and exhaust on mine, and CAI is a must. quicker response, much throatier sounding. if u plan on doing exhaust, do a cold air with it. plus, u can install it urself in like 3 hours. but ya, i think around 8 whp is resonable
