Lower cost HP add-ons

Recently sold my C5 Z51 manual and just picked up a '09 C6 Auto w/paddle shifters & NPP exhaust. I'm amazed at the difference in cars from an '01 to an '09. Wondered what everyone thought about some lower cost add-ons to boost the HP. (Not that I need it for any reason......but think the car is screaming for a tweak here and there). Any suggestions that won't break the bank????????

Start with intake and tune then go from there.

Thanks for the info.......

Yeah, that was probably an oxymoron......low-cost hp add-ons. Any specific intake you would recommend?

A Dyno tune on the A6 tranny will really wake up the car and throttle response! When I had my 07 coupe it was like driving a totally different car home! 370 rwhp with just headers and Vararam. Used Toyo R888 tires (absolutely loved them and wish they came in C6 Z06 sizes!) GL
