Hey welcome and congratulations on your 08!As far as engine upgrades a good thing to do is install a K&N drop in filter. There are also a few ways you can modify your stock intake too to get a little better airflow and make it sound better but nothing major. I think removing the charcoal filter and silencer tank (further up tube from the MAF), then plugging the hole.
