Exhaust if you don't want to mess with the engine.

Motordyne MREV2 lower plenum if you want an engine mod.

+1 on what these guys said but it all depends on what you're personally looking for as well

do you want the car to be faster? sound better? or handle better?

i want all of the above hahahaha!! so far, performance wise, i only put a K&N drop in filter and wheels/tires with tein basics
my roomie told me that the G's intake and exhaust are more restrictive than the Z so is it a good idea to let the car breathe first?

I recommend you take the pop-charger out of your options.

The spacer or sway bars look like a good next choice.

performance? you have a lot to think about...do you want suspension or "power" to be your next mod?

"power" - spacer
suspension - sways

sway bars for better handling

intake is just waste of money
