Alright, let's hear it \xe2\x80\x94 what was the very first thing you changed on your Dark Horse after taking delivery?

Based on what we're seeing across forums and build threads, exhaust tends to be the most popular first move. The active exhaust sounds great stock, but a lot of owners are adding Borla, MagnaFlow, or Corsa cat-backs pretty quickly \xe2\x80\x94 or going straight for long-tube headers and an H-pipe. After that it's usually a tune: the S650 ECU has been cracked, and shops like Lund Racing, 5 Star, and Wengerd Performance are doing solid work, especially on E85 where real-world gains can hit +70 rwhp with bolt-ons.

Beyond that, JLT cold air intakes are popular, and a lot of owners are going the PPF + ceramic coat route early to protect the paint before any track time. Short-throw shifter knobs and other small interior tweaks seem to come later once the go-fast stuff is sorted.

What was your first mod? Was it exhaust, a tune, protection film, or something totally different? And what's sitting at the top of your list right now?
