Resonated X-pipe, Axle back exhaust, Cold air intake, Ported throttle Body, spacers, ported intakes etc. Add a tune and headers that may void your warranty but you will go even faster.

My dealer told me that cold air intake would void the warranty.

Its just not fast because of factory air restrictions. Its a low to mid 14 sec car factory stock. Free up the breathing with basic stuff and knock of at least a half sec. Add more stuff for better breathing and knock off a second.

He's got a 2012 with the LFX. Pretty sure headers are a no-go there due to the integrated exhaust manifold.
