You should state which performance characteristics you are loking to improve. Acceleration, top speed, cornering, handling, braking? Some combination from that list?
I greatly improved cornering and braking on my 2009 coupe with a new set of wider and lighter Cray wheels with stickier Michelin PSS tires (275F/295R) for about $2500. My next mod will be better shocks.

Worst bang for your buck is a CAI on a 2009, but right behind it is headers. To add some clarification - headers, by themselves, give you very little performance return for a lotta money, but headers become an essential basis for other mods such as a cam.

Welcome to the forum. If you fill out your profile more than just "male", it'll help understand what you have and where you live.
When you ask a question, you need to be more specific about things like what you want to do. Race the drags or road track, long distance road racing, auto-X, car shows, road trips, or just weekend local drives? Maybe even give a idea of your budget too.
With the only info you've provided so far, I'd suggest the $2 shroud prop. It's easily the cheapest tenth you'd ever get on a 1/4 mile timeslip.
