I've had my stock 2011 (sport/tour package) for over a year, was thinking of upping the performance slightly (on a budget) before track season starts. Any ideas on what I could do? I'm not a DIY'er unfortunately. Thanks---Christine

I'm sorry this is your first post so let me help protect you from the fire for a moment here

Use the search bar before posting, people go anal repeating themselves on here.
I also have no idea what budget you are on and parts for the car aren't cheap.
best bang for buck, get a used exhaust, post maf tubes and K&N drop ins, and some test pipes. If you don't want a used exhaust, Garageline had new exhausts for I think $700. Top speed also has exhausts but of lower quality. Invidia exhausts are $910. That's the cheapest. There may be a couple more I'm missing. Test pipes will rasp like hell, but you are on a budget.

Upgrade the brakes... lines, pads, fluid, absolute necessity. Buy a 25 row oil cooler, necessity,

Good luck.

Right, some of the guys on here get butt-hurt when something is out of place or a question is not in the correct sections. Good luck and welcome!!
