Need Advice on my next mods! :)

Hello Everyone,
I just need some advice on what to do, So I have a 2012 Camaro 2LT/RS. I am starting to mod this beautiful thing and really need some advice on what mods I need to do in what order, and what people think I need to do to my car. It is all stock besides the Borla Cat-Back Exhaust system. I think I want to go with the CAI intake and then RX catch can for my next two mods, but I'm not really sure. I want to add more HP as well as Torque. Any Ideas will help me out!
Thanks in advance, Austin.

I would start by taking off the SS emblem on the grille, don't be a poser. Not hating, really like the car. Your list sounds pretty good, you may want to look at a new spoiler, that's a rather popular mod.

v6 owner here. Every thing may be the same but the engine is not. Remove the SS and your next mod should be a catch can. There's a wait on the RX so get an elite.

PLEASE take off the SS logo! Put a supercharged logo or something like that on it! Don't be a tool!

I would get the oil catch can first and ASAP. Plus it's the one of the cheapest mods and it will save your engine and performance. Doesn't do you any good to add mods first and get more horsepower and in the mean time the oil your are sucking in is gunking up your valves and robbing you of horsepower and torque. Then it's a mute point and waste of money. IMHO.
