Mods suggestion for 2009 V8 Vantage

Hello All,

I brought a 2009 Vantage V8 yesterday.Its stock car.Now I want to start adding mods.
Based on the research and after speaking Bill from RSC ,I'm planning on getting RSC super sport exhaust,Tune and air filters.
Wanted you get your recommendations on whats the best exhaust and what other performance mods and cosmetic mods i can add?

Congrats and welcome!

The exhaust and tune will get you a bunch more power. You can also drop a lot of weight:

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...et-nimble.html
(Wheels, tires, 2-piece brake rotors, lightweight battery. The exhaust drops a lot of weight, too.)

You can change out your wheels for style as well as performance (losing weight there makes a nice bit of difference). Better tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sport are my personal favorite) will drop a few pounds plus give you much better performance compared to the OEM tires.

Lower the car (KW coilovers, Nitron coilovers, VelocityAP springs, or H&R springs are all options) for a better stance.

The catch can Zard mentioned prevents a lot of oil from getting into your engine.

Carbon fiber front lip, diffuser, trunk lip, etc, gives it a racy, aggressive look.
