Welcome Dave !

My advice would be to start with performing the proper break-in then the mods later.

I believe there's some good info here on breaking in your new ride. Give the search a try.

Enjoy your new S !

I'd mod the driver. Pay for some track time so, you can use the S2K for what it was intended for.

If you plan to run any club events - autocross, roadrace, etc. - get a rule book before you do any modifications. You could change one simple item and put yourself in a class that you do not want to be in if you start modifying without checking the class rules.

If you are just starting out, a driver's school will probably give you the most gain for the $$$ spent. Club schools are usually much less expensive than the professional schools and will give you a good start.

Invidia V3 exhaust

Not many exhausts can fit on the 06' but Invida V3 will without modification.

don't forget invidia is LOUD! and DRONES!!!

it's nice you have an exhaust that fits but you need to consider sound and practicality.

Mugen has one too (nice deep tone no drone) it's just deeper in tone where the stock one lacks. but mid range, cruse speed there is no drone just a clean exhaust note. No killer bees in the cabin...

T1R sparrow fits also i think the dual 60R you need to do a search and check.

Invidia fits, Spugen fits

enjoy the S2K!
