Hey, guys. I recently got my 2010 xD back in June 2014. I haven't made any performance mods on it yet, although I have a windshield decal and a pretty bumpin' (homemade) system. Being a college student fresh out of high school and getting $130 a week, I need some cheap performance mods. I'm willing to save up for a while. Honestly, I was looking to purchase an intake first. I've been looking at this one:

What do you guys think? Should I mod anything else before I do this?

Honestly you can make your own short ram intake with a filter from a parts house for around $50. No matter what you go with gains are gonna be low so IMO I would not drop the money for the K&N.

I have an injen cold air intake, and it's ok. I took it off some time ago because I got paranoid about hydro lock. I recently bought a reducer so I could reuse the injen filter without the piping.
The cheapest way to get an intake is to buy a filter with a 3.5 inch opening, remove the stock filter box, and clamp down your new filter onto existing intake. Bam, you're done. It being shorter than a cold air intake should make it more responsive. Plus it should breath more freely than stock.
Here is a link to a random eBay filter that should fit, but you could shop around for a cheaper/different color/different style/ prettier one if you want. I literally put in very little effort.
