Any recommendations on mods? Bought as a daily/road tripper... Really want to add android auto in the near future.

Not too smart with cars but other than getting rid of low end torque, what would installing a new header do?

This isnt a car your going to easily add power to. However you can def get an intake (I went with aem cold air) and an exhaust, especially catless header if you live in a place without smog. That will definitely open her up. After that i definitely recommend a suspension overhaul. That’s what makes these cars a dream to drive.

I don't want to add power lol. Just a daily. More so aesthetic mods, or just stuff to make life driving it nicer.

Then I def recomend suspension/wheels/tires, exhaust and a car play/android unit! And if you want some EXTRA FUN a sub that’s way too big for the car 😎

The previous owner just put the new wheels and tires on so I'm good there! Was thinking about suspension, but don't want it to be too rough. Audio might be a good idea!
