Welcome to forum . Please use the search option. There are threads and discussions about your question.

What's your definition of "cheap"? It would help if you gave a budget.

And FYI, your warranty cannot be voided simply for putting on a mod. For any part of your warranty to be voided, it must be proven that that specific mod was the direct cause of the failure.

um, yes if you put aftermarket parts on your car, it will void that parts warranty, for example if you replaced the stock intake with an aftermarket one, the intake will no longer carry it's warranty if something happens to it, obviously since it's not OEM. but in addition, people usually do not incur problems with intakes unless you're an idiot and hydrolock your engine somehow....

as for parts, do a search, there's plenty of threads about aftermarket parts, just read and take your time

but yea...usually i won't say search...but dude...there are tons and tons of threads on performance parts.

Let me make it a little bit easier for you.

Search: HFC (high flow cat), exhaust, intake, copp accessport. See what you like and what you think meets your needs. Then purchase it!

Start with the stickies, they offer a ton of information on prices and what's available. As far as the warranty goes, just ask your dealership and they are typically pretty straight up about what constitute a warranty violation.

cheapest mod which won't increase hp, but will increase acceleration is weight reduction...start ripping out your interior! take out ur spare tire, etc etc...it won't void ur warranty because your not messing with ur engine..so u won't have to worry about that, secondly, there's nothing inside ur vehicle to void anyways because it's mostly gone...um...an actual part u can put into ur car....probably intake
