Default any suggestions

I recently purchased a 2008 is 250. The car is stock and was curious if there are any particular upgrades that would be best to start with?

Performance wise on the 2IS? Mod for sound.

You cant make a lot of power with any bolt on mods for the 2IS. Full exhaust + intake + headers will get you maybe ~30hp. You can boost but a supercharger will cost you ~$5k for about 50-70 hp and you will still be slower than a 350.

Were you asking about mods in general or just performance wise? I noticed it was in the performance section so thats why I posted my response

Then you should trade it in for a 350 or F. Thats the best way to gainmore hp for the least amount of money
