pick one from below:

1) Speed
2) warranty

i don't see why everyone places such a big emphasis on warranty anyways. like when people say "i'm gonna turbo my car but not till my warranty is up." why, so you can destroy it and not have a warranty anyways? i guess i just don't see the difference.

no i wouldnt run soo much boost that im gunna blow up my engine, i know its risky but i would tune even for a low amount and make shure it could handle it. Its just that if something goes wrong in the engine the dealer could not fix it because of the turbo even if it had nothing to do with it, and besides my parents would kill me if i voided my entire warranty

and warranty is a big deal in my mind especially for the price of parts and labor

Depends on what you want. Rear sway bar is amazing update for handling. For a little added performance cold air intake is also a good and easy bolt on. For appearance I would do some rims.

usually it will be the combination of the catback and header. cant fully put it on one thing, but possibly even the 2.4 manifold swap from C.E.D with an intake would probably prove very well for the price.

I'd like to say a turbo here, but there doesn't seem to be such a thing for an 07 automatic! So I'm gonna be honest here- the best move I've made so far is getting the 'LS' taken off the rear-end. Stopped alot of stupid questions about what the car had in it.
Now, edit this if this is threadjacking, but:
what gave you the 'most bang for your buck'? Best results for least cost?
