Upgrades
 

So I am finally thinking about spending some money on some upgrades to my stock 09' Touring 7AT Sport. I can't really decide which I should start with and what would give me the most bang for the buck. I am thinking about:

Intake: Typhoon or G3, I know everyone is going to say G3 but I was just thinking the Typhoon because of the lower cost and ease of reverting if for some reason I decide to sell in the future. Also with the intake I could most likely do it myself.

Exhaust: Ark, I really like the sound and look, though the pictures make it look like it is lower to the ground and do not know if I like that. Also I do not really know if I could do it myself or not.

Exterior 1: Carbon Fiber accents: fangs, handles, etc.

Exterior 2: Clear Bra and or Optium Coat

I think it almost seems like I go for sound and power or looks, and its tough to decide. Thanks for all the help and comments.

you need to get an exhaust first.

i was in the same boat as you, and i went with the ARK. I am also lowered and i dont have any issues, ill scrape a little every once and a while, but thats life. (its the flanges that scrape, not the mufflers).

FI Exhaust ftw. It was my first mod and I never regretted it.

Ditto!

Be warned!!! Once you start this you can't stop.
And go with exhaust I just ordered the Ark today.

FI exhaust and the G3's

GO before SHOW, brotha! Having said that, if you plan to protect the paint, do the clear bra ASAP.

If you ever plan on getting Clearbra I would do that first. I regret not doing mine when I first got my car. By the time I got mine done I already had several rock chips that drives me crazy every time I wash my car. :mad:

Stillen G3s were the first thing that I bought, performance wise for my car. They were great and don't regret getting them. I've got muffler deletes as well so I love the way they sound... no need for a cat-back just yet.

Go for the exhaust or Intakes, the easier a NA engine breathes the more power it generates.

I would start with the exhaust.

Exhaust first. I recommend the invidia Gemini.

I love the exhaust idea, but right as I make up my mind about an exhaust I start to question it because of suggestions and research. Thanks so far for everyone's comments and suggestions.
