those are the starter mods. Intake will get more air into the engine, exhaust will let more flow out and give it better sound. The first performance mod I did was an intake. Then I went full headers/cat/exhaust.

Id start out with an intake, like a K&N. Theres many ways to go with the exhaust after.

A K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit is probally the best intake you can get for your car, however, its the most expensive also. As per exhaust, its completely up to you.

Before you start throwing money at this car, keep in mind, its a 3.4L, and even with all the mods you throw at it, even with nitrous, you probally wont even be able to keep up with a stock v8.

Fuel injection performance kit, also known as "K&N FIPK" the filter is just a filter. Your looking for the whole intake, not just a filter.
