"wifes" new toy.

My wife and I just bought an 06 HHR with a 2.2 and 5 speed. We love the dang thing but me being a power guy, am curious what are the best power upgrades? I dont want to sacrafice logevity or drivability, but want to impress people when we start meeting with the local car clubs.

CGS cold air intake. Header. Exhaust. Tune. Thats pretty much it unless you can do a turbo build.

CAI, Cat Back, tune. My son is in the process of doing this with his '09 Cobalt 2.2 5sp. We just installed the GMPP CAI. The catback is next. Outside of the power thing, we installed a TTR sway bar for better handling. Super easy and inexpensive.

I want to super because it's an option we didn't get, and as far as plumbing and all that joy, I am under the impression it will be somewhat less fab work than a turbo, I couldn't afford an SS when mine took up residency in my drive-way, and I want to compete now with my cousin's SI. So I have a lot of work

The Honda and Toyota guys tell me that the right stickers will increase your speed and power.

Honda and Toyota steering wheels are so small so you can drive them with handcuffs on
