Good lord, you just got it and it's only three years old.  What're talkin' about upgrades for already?  Be happy with how not-ripped the interior is for a little while first.  Sheesh.  Makin' me jealous.

I would say exhaust, but you'd need around $400 for that.  Sounds like the Injen intake would be perfect for the amount of money you have...about $200.

Is it true the cold air intake tube isn't worth the money, and that I should just get the intake?

haha no that's not true btw, the intake will make the airflow less restricted, but the colder the air, the denser the air, which means more oxygen, so the colder the air, the better, but a streetlegal tube would prolly cust u alot, just buy some ghetto heat resistant plumber's piping and hide it haha

I thought a tube was only like $100?

do you wanna pay $100 for a extra 2-3 HP, and the added worry of driving in the rain and sucking up water.

Intakes may be a little costly for the small amount of hp gain, but you gotta start somewhere.

Personally, i agree with nismo, sway bars really help the feel of a car going fast around turns (as long as the tires aren't to worn <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> ).
