I've read a few places that the 2012's come with a stock CAI and a decent flow on the headers tubes and mufflers...the car sounds decent exhaust wise but i feel that adding a CAI would add to performance...probably going to an airraid and a tune to 87 octane...also i noted that adding an exhaust wont really add to any gain....except for just changing the exhaust not e little bit...anyone else heard the same thing?

and your air intake is already high flow... I would just do a drop in like K&N and call it done

American muscle makes and sells quite a few bolt on performance parts that require no tuning.

I installed Magnaflo catback street series and love the sound over stock, air raid CAI and 93 race tune from Bama really woke this car up
