Still waiting on test results from the new version VRSF 7" intercooler... I have it on my car but never dyno'd or dragged it. I don't know if it cools as well as a Cobb or ETS but it is less expensive than I've seen ETS 7" coolers going for used.

I picked up a used Cobb AP and that is pretty much the sum total of my performance mods to date. I may consider an oil cooler as well (I have the factory one, but still.) I'm not a big fan of aftermarket intakes as a lot of them are "warm air" type and even those that are properly enclosed and ducted may have less efficient filters; I want my engine to last a good long time.

Word on the street is that downpipes are the next best thing that you can do for your car performance wise but I haven't taken that leap yet. It's a lot of money, a PITA to install, and my inner greenie would feel guilty installing catless DP's. There are high-flow catted ones available but I know you'll be shocked to find that they're expensive.
