Cool Performance Upgrades

Im new to this site and I wanted to get some ideas on Upgrades.
I got my 06 IS350 in September 06.
I wanted to upgrade the exhaust system and maybe get a cold air intake.

What are peoples thoughts on this? i just dont want my car sounding like a riced civic....haa.....

I would prefer a TRD exhaust, but i dont think its out for the IS yet.

I also would like to get rims - probably black w/chrome lip - 5 spokes - 19's, and then lower it. What springs are recomended?

I have the sport suspension already on the car.

Also if you have any other recomendations for performance, please let me know.

thankyou

i always feel like an ******* saying this but the search button is good. TRD doesn't have an exhaust for our car, however Lexus has made a axle-back with HKS as a factory aftermarket option. The Intake, none really adds ore power than another, so I would go for looks and sound. You can find that on youtube. For springs, I would just go with coilovers(I recomend the Tein SS or CS). Thats really it for performance and such. I would window shop, www.l-tunedparts.com is a sponsor and has probably the best selection. Bulletproofautomotive.com is good to. Have fun with her!
