well depends, do you want handling, power, noise?
Injen charge piping with new couplers and tbolt clamps (gets air moving faster and more efficient to the IC and now the turbo is louder)

ottp stage 1 mount (keeps the wheels on the ground and less engine movement)

ottp rear street sway bar (keeps the back end stiff, makes the car feel neutral when cornering)

high flow cat downpipe - power mod, I looked and studied the dp's and hahns was the best. I think nga had the cheapest price for a catted at $430 shipped.

pedders springs w/ rack spacers for better handling.

ottp control arm bushings - better handling. I have yet to install these, need to find a place to press them in for me and jeff.

I'll be ordering TWM shifter bushings soon as well to help make the shifting feel tighter and less sloppy. Its already a short throw so I dont see a point in a full sts replacement.

k&n drop in if you want, I did. I think Mike with the silver 4 door said he may sell his.

yeah deeper and louder. A cat back wont do anything for performance, just sound so idk Im gonna spend money on stuff that does stuff first. then if I have some cash go get the mpx cat back.

there are plenty of people on the forum with both that have thrown codes, both after a couple thousand or 20k miles with them. Its not even guarenteed to not throw a code unless you are aftermarket tuned to disable it from happening. I looked into it and asked around already. The safest way to not throw a cel with the stock or gmstage 1 tune is just get a high flow catted downpipe. I dont think the hassle of disabling the cel and dealing with it coming on all the time is worth it.

I will agree the Hahn has the best design and the least chance to throw a cel, but again it still can. Hence why I'll be getting a hahn catted dp and never worry about it

Oh and silver, almost forgot, need a new IC. I think mpx's IC may be one of the better ones too. Its not as big as Hahn's which IMO is over sized for the stock turbo. Also I am waiting to see their oil catch can as well.

ya makes it much deeper and a louder. mmm theres some youtube video's, the stock exhaust isnt bad, but it can drone on hwy. I think I'll have my hahn catted dp by CED meet so if you wait that long you can hear it.
