After the tune

About 30 minutes after I get out of the dealership on saturday, I'm ordering the trifeca tune but I wanted to know what would be the best supporting mod after
1) Charge piping, cause the plastic looks like crap
2) Intake, heard too many problems with that so far so might wait for 2nd gen
3) Get springs, tints and make car look cool

If I could pick just one supporting mod it would be the intake, but you really need all of them with the possible exception of intercooler as the stocker does pretty well honestly.
You really need a good intake, DP, catback, and chargepiping to take advantage of the tune and because our cars have a factory widband no retuning is usually necessary unless the aftermarket intake is skewing your MAF readings.

i have a trifecta tune(Clear Image) and its awsome.... after that i recomend you geting a 3' straight cat back with a catless downpipe... after that get dejon intake and clear image performance charge piping.... (that would be my recomendations first b4 making your car look "cool".... make it a sleeper )
awww yeah and DO NOT GET THE INTERCOOLER!!!... ITS A WASTE OF MONEY SINCE OUR CARS HAVE A DESENT INTERCOOLER ALREADY.....!!

Downpipe and muffler for sound. K&N Drop in filter.

After that, the rest of the bolt ons don't mean squat unless you plan on changing your turbo out for a bigger one. You could spends way too much money for just 10-15whp on the stock turbo after a retune and downpipe, and it's just not worth it.

^^^^^ it is worth it.... with all those bolt-ons youll be runing high 12's if you know how to drive it...!! its worth it!!!!and much likely doing 315-320whp and about 340-345wtq.... why would you need more than that on a front wheel car??? even Synapse said it them self.... a TRUE TIRE BURNER!... witch means.... NO TRACTION AT ALL!!!! with a 375whp and 385 wtq.... pointless..... my opinion...

I was just getting ready to order my Dejon SRI...does it make sense to be getting an intake before my tune? Im trying to wait and see what GM comes out with, but I want in intake in the mean time. I know Im not going to increase max power, but from what I was told the car will be a little more responsive and sound better. Should I not be doing this before a tune though?
