03 coupe v6
I have owned this car for 6 years. The car has 160k on it.
My plan since I have a little money to put in the car is get more power out of it and make it sound better. I want more go than show. I am currently changing a lot of the lights to LEDs. I don't want to lower the car but want to make handle better. I am going to put different shoes on it too, stepping up to 18's

The best tune is to simply bring the vehicle up to specs

PCM/ECU tuning for these is not as easy as what you see on TV or read about for things like a chevy/ford/dodge. They are out there but the cost and trouble of them is not worth it.
You would be better off spending that money on other things.....are all of the suspension things up to date and maybe upgrade them......poly bushings, new struts/spring - lowering type is up to you.
Be sure the maintenance items are up to date.....timing belt job, trans fluid changes (both auto and manual need this), brakes are up to speed, plugs changed, ect.
To get a few more "ponies" out of the car, there are some upgraded J-Pipes you could look into getting - the OE J-pipe is a bit constricted on these and the upgraded ones get a little better flow. Just need to know the local emission laws before going too far.
