I am going slow with the mods since there is alot of warrenty left (only have 2500 miles) and the wallet never seems to have just the right amount of extra money to cover the parts (wife and kids hate it when we skip the grocery store for the week, but the cars sounds good huh kids? now go make dad a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, on one slice of bread please, its only tuesday!)

My next item is going to be CAI, so i will have the intake covered and the cat-back done. I know on a motorcycle after intake and exhaust you should have the carb re-jetted. Are our cars like that too or can it wait until you get more serious with x-pipes, pullies ect?

A performance tune would certainly be a good up grade, but with just those mods not necessary. Main thing is to keep your A/F safe, and these cars are quite rich from the factory so your CAI and catback should be fine.

Go ahead and get the kids a two slices of bread on their sandwich this week. :nice:
