'14 OS SE new owner... Needs performance upgrades for less anemic feel

Ok so thread title says it all... Other than an SRI or tricking the MAP with timing control what mods are available to help this thing get out of its own way?!?

"for less anemic feel"...
Try using the paddle shifters! No mods needed for that.
(you'll lose MPGs, but at least you'll motivate the little CUV a bit more.)

I say the Intake, and a pulley. Every car I have had a Pulley done on gains a good amount. The exhaust on this car is a major issue its way to small. I can think of plenty of other things to make the car better....lightweight wheels with a good offset to lower rotational mass, gain faster turn in and turn out, and better mpgs.....

I will make a full thread once I actually pick up another set of good wheels. Cureently want a set of untouched OEM Evo X MR bbs wheels. anyone got some?

I've got the intake (Takeda) and the pulley. I'm sold on'm both. One thing I'd like to add is the timing controller/ plug in thingy. 2 gear gets long and dull with mods, but using paddle shifters sure wakes things up with the couple mods done.

Which Pulley are you using and did you have clearance issues with the block? I love the Pulleys but dont want to grind anything away to make it work. I hoping to purchase some goodies here soon too, been putting off it way too long now.

If i remember correctly the injen doesnt have the heat shield as the takeda does.
In addition RRM has a heat shiel however, does not have it enclosed like takeda with the snorkel opening. (side bar, with a small modification with a dremel you can also fit the larger ralliart snorkel under hood).
