+1, i totally agree with dek. i waited until i finally thought my car was slow, then i modded and i thought it was fast again, but obviously its slow again for me and im low on money so now i have to wait to get that feeling again lol

I waited till 700 miles and i put on an intake and got an AP. 3,600 miles on it now and am looking forward to adding a turbo back exhaust soon. I wouldn't worry to mod if you feel like you need more power.

I waited 1000 miles. I did springs and wheels and stuff and waited. After 1000 miles I was doing something every month to it starting with the AccessPort.

Start with reading your manual, it tells you exactly in there.

The main thing is reflashing ecu, that will void no if-ands-or butts if they catch you.

It also depends on the dealership. some don't care at all.

Definitely no butts

Op - Before deciding on any particular parts, I say check out all of the user reviews and result threads here on EvoM. You'll find piles of excellent info that will just make your life so much easier.

It's easier to list what you can get away with: drop-in air filter, cat back exhaust.

I had a few part ordered before I even bought the car but for a brand new car I would say break the engine in and keep all stock parts. Happy modding!!
