thinkin' about first mods...

...k fellas (and ladies), here it is....my 05 coupe 6m/t is about 3 months old now, and it time for a mod or two...I'm thinkin' about some type of intake mod (z tube..K&N...or whatever else is out there...and what the hell is a plenum)...I'd appreciate some feedback on where to start and links to any I'm sure previously discussed posts on the above...and for all u flamers out there, be easy...it's not that I'm not mechanically inclined (I'm an airline pilot), but I just don't have the time to research from scratch like I did when I was 21...and I've got a sharp tongue my damn self...k that said...any help would be appreciated...also, I live in central fl...anyone affiliated with any groups in that area, hit me up...

The Z-tube is a no brainer. As for the filter, I'd say most of the people here go with the JWT Pop Charger or the K&N panel filter. I went with the K&N since it was really cheap and my engine bay still looks stock which will hopefully prevent issues when taking the car to the dealer. In actuality, intake/exhausts for this car provide minimal gains, so I personally can't see spending big bucks for that kind of stuff. If you really want to mod, you pretty much have to go FI. Anyway, thats my $.02. Good luck with the G.

hayaku is right. with the small power mods out there, u will see minimal gains. personally i would focus on small cosmetic stuff(sidemarkers etc) and suspension(swaybays etc) first. just get small things and if you decide to go FI you can because you didnt blow a bunch of money on npt so beneficial mods. $.02

And yes the guys are right, don't go wasting your money on useless bolt-ons. Invest in a bike or a twin turbo kit if you need speed.. this car looks great, drives great, you can make it a lil louder and meaner with a few mods here and there but that's about it
