What Should my first mod be?

So I recently got my 2013 V6 1LT and am deciding between putting a CAI Intake on it or a aftermarket Catch Can. Help me out?

Get Chase to make you a special deal on one of each.
Then you can save up for an exhaust.

Catch can won't do much but be ascetically pleasing...

I beg to differ.... do some research on the need for catch cans with GDI engines.

If you want longevity from your engine, get catch can ASAP

I agree, my Catchcan is very aesthetically please however, it also functions very well as it was designed to do.
