i mean you see i have done some visual mods. i want some performance but nothing to crazy. this is and will be daily driver for awhile. some power would be nice tho. that is why i wanna find out where i should spend the money first instead of buying things that aren't really worth it. plus i wanna hear the woosh from a bov eventually.

ok here it goes...

Tune (budget or full)
Shifter Bushings
Intake (you can DIY one up or pickup whichever floats your boat, Also with an aftermarket intake you can really hear the OEM BPV check my build thread for videos and pics)
Exhaust

The Sonic is my only means of transportation and so far it's been very reliable (aside from the other day when I screwed something up)

probably gonna do the bushings and intake next. the tune for some reason makes me nervous. i guess cause its a new car and never got a car tuned.

The tune is as easy as installing a few drivers and a program on your laptop. I dropped almost a second and a half in my 1/4 times with the budget tune alone.

jw wouldn't it be better to do the other mods before the tune.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Nope, the OEM ECM will learn down the mods and ECP with the tune means you don't "need" to re-tune after each mod. If you get the full tune then by all means data log and re-flash as needed.

 

[Eric Smit]

even with the full tune you won't need to retune after an intake and exhaust.

just changed the oil at work and was looking at parts. thinking im gonna order intake, shifter bushings and a coil cover from ddm works. ddm works is a good intake right? or is there a better one you guys recommend.
thanks
