mod advice... where to go next? (on a budget)

i have a 2011 ralliart.

magnaflow catback,
k&n drop-in,
evo x ic,
UR pipes,
evo x bov,
ebc front rotors,
hawk hps all around

and i want to get it a nice christmas present. (or a few)

my question is, what would you, the experts, say i go for next. mind im on a budget, i dont want to completely obliterate my warranty, and i dont want to get a tune yet.

i was thinking high flow cat and downpipe to complete the tbe, but i heard you NEED tune after those? im not so interested in visual stuff. i like sleepers.

my ideas so far are
- hfc
- dp
- lowering springs
- intake? (eh)

any adivce is appreciated. and i did search around for weeks before this, im on here alot. so please dont flame me. thanks guys.

After adding any of those performance mods on your list you SHOULD definitely get a tune! Since you say you dont want a tune just yet why dont you spend the money on some springs and a nice set of wheels. This will really make your RA stand out.

Good luck & Happy Modding!

Stock X or IX metal BOV works just fine. If you want something a little better get the Synapse BOV. This is the one I'm running and I lOVE IT.
Look them up on youtube. They compare their BOV to lots of other well know ones and show why the Synapse is the best.

I'd go with springs also, give it a better stance and handling

Springs for sure. Installed my swifts 2 weeks ago. With those and the 235 tires, this car will corner better than I feel comfortable doing. I now need to build my confidence level to take advantage of the cornering in this thing.

No they won't fit. I put on Pro Kits, they ride damn near stock but still sit a little high for my liking. I got them for like $100 bucks on here though

Will probably buy some teins or sportlines if the price is right on here.

If you browse ebay, you can find new S-Tech's for around $170.

Springs make handling worse (in most cases). The best case scenario is that they do nothing.

springs or audio system. my dealer said even an evo x ic could void the motor warranty.

Spend some money on the Diverter Valve. You will be glad that you did, in the long run. However, the only one that won't misbehave with the stock turbocharger (I mean that) is the Synapse Synchronic. Even the RAD was hell on that TiAL QR. In hindsight, I should have gotten a ported X turbocharger or just gone with a BBX or 3076. The surge with the smaller turbochargers will become distinctly more pronounced with an upgraded BPV. I will likely be selling the stocker from my X when the TiAL goes back on the car. Food for thought.
