these are good basic mods. i'd suggest lookin around at exhaust systems to figure out which one suits u. I'd also suggest weighing the option of a cold air intake.

Any difference between a COLD air intake and an air intake?
Does the COLD air intake really provide cold air even in the summer?

colder than a short ram because it is not in the engine bay where the heat is.

I was looking at an Injen Cold Air Intake with MR Tech and a Buddy Club Racing Spec Condensor (grounding system).
Do you think these are good to start? and has anyone used this intake??

Damn you all! I envy you guys that can just go out and get an expensive car and afford to start modding right away.

Congratulations on the new ride. As for performance parts, just spend some time browsing the forum. There's a wealth of information out there.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of any actual help. :P

Your statement reminds me something. My question is for those mod their brand new cars. What are you going to do with the brand new stock parts if you decide to mod the car?
I think I saw somewhere on the forum that any mod to the air intake and header made to the new si will prompt a check engine light, not sure if it is true.
That is the main reason that I hesitate to mod my car. Also the stock parts are brand new, it's kinda waste if I replace them. You wont see any significant increase in HPs anyway. |

I beg differ on not putting any mods on your car. The two mods I was looking at were going to give me an extra about 17-20HP and 10-13FLbs of torque. Plus increase gas mileage and improve throttle response and any electrical component on the car would work much better plus increase battery life.

Well on paper 
They will give you some more power, and better throttle response. I'd say you'll prob get a max of 10hp out of an intake and an exhaust, with out a tune, thats my guess, although it could be lower or higher. You will have better responce and a smoother feeling engine, which is nice.
But your gas milage will prob. go to hell because lets face it, exhaust+intake=sexy exhaust note, so if your like anyone else on here, we smash the gas whenever possible to hear the beautiful noise!

More HPs means better gas mileage? Besides you are not going to feel the extra 17 HPs. I doubt you will get anything more than 17HPs.

Well technicly bolt ons like exhaust and intake will prob. yield better millage because of increased flow. The easier gasses move through the system the more power and efficiency you can make. My car with my bolt ons makes better mpg over stock if I don't rag on it.
