noob to cobalts/ecotec

ok i just got a '10 cobalt xfe base with a 5 speed. what is the best and cheaper starter mods to do on these cars for a bit more power and responsiveness. i am more a lt1 and ls1 type guy as i have camaro's but not looking to make a hot rod out of a more daily driven car thanks to gas prices. just want to make it a bit more enjoyable to drive and to deal with traffic(having to adjust to the slower passing vs a v8's).

an intake will help. get a CAI not a SRI

intake and exhaust, i mean you could do the full bolt ons and a tune too

welcome!

intake and catback are best bang for the buck by far!

what's the basic bolt ons availible? so far i have just been having luck finding things for the ss. i have already thought about doing a aem cai and maybe a corsa cat back.

also as far as tuning goes does anyone offer a mail tune or a self install tune? i have a few tuner shops around my area but they r more jap jdm shops then anything. already went to a few and got some dirty looks and such when i told them what i had.

yes there is a mail tune from trifecta.

and a few basic bolt ons would be header/downpipe, cat back, intake.

got any pics of this XFE??
