Which comes first?

Hey guys. Well I think I'm ready to start working on my MS3. Its an 08.5 with only a few thousand miles on it, so its still pretty new, but I'm ready to jump right in. The only problem is I don't have a lot of cash right now... So I decided to take things one mod at a time and I'm looking for some opinions. I'm ready to buy either a Cobb intake or a new rear engine mount (probably StreetUnit), but I'm only going to get one right now. The other one will come later, probably some time this summer.

So what should it be? Intake or engine mount?

Thanks for the help (and sorry if I am being redundant, the search feature wasn't working).

Back to the OP

I just started modding my Speed3 and I went with the COBB SF Intake first, then the CS inserts, shift knob, bushings, I'm really happy with the results so far. If you knock out the shift knob the amount spent is about $250. So overall I'm not that deep into yet, except the Forge BPV and Rally Armor UR's and the CP-e Towplate that I am waiting on, but yeah, do what you can...and watch out for the mod bug. I told myself intake only when I started :lol:

Don't get the inserts....

Spend $29 more and just get the Medieval full dog bone rear mount. You will be much happier with the end result

I concur.
