Need advice on improving performance

We just bought an 07 with 15k and LOVE it! Has anyone done any mods to improve the performance of the Journey model? Where did you start? What websites did you use to shop? How did the upgrade impact performance. Thank you for your advice in advance.
Mp in abq.

Exhaust made a noticeable improvement to my 07. Car feels lighter when accelerating. MPG took a hit though.

Well, if nobody is gonna tell him, I will.

DON'T expect a whole lot more out of your car with simple bolt-ons. Short of FI, the manufacturer has wrung most of the easy HP out of these cars. You can gain a little here and there, but it is always at a fairly stiff price for the actual gains you'll get. This isn't a domestic V8 with oodles of untapped potential just sitting there for the picking. Mod away, but just don't do so with unrealistic expectations. Also, before you do anything to your car, you need to learn to SEARCH. (just sayin)
