TVT Design sells a couple kits that basically combine those things. Or you can part it out separately.

Also, it's always a good idea to put in some quality high temp brake fluid and stainless steel brake lines. Not that the XF brakes are bad. It's just a good idea to do to any car you intend on driving hard.
Yeah that's very true. I've been looking into all of these things. Once I get some cash built up I'm going to drive down to Eurocharged which is about 3 hours from where I am to see what we can do. I'm thinking of going with a 3" single CAI seeing as how it will give me almost the same amount of power for a fraction of the price. Plus I've heard that the dual CAI setups can have turbulence unless you spend the money to do it right. I figure I'll beef up my my injectors and plugs and get a solid tune at Euro. After that I'm gonna do some brake work. I didn't even think about the high temp brake fluid so thanks for reminding me but I was going to go stainless. I was also planning on going with some Rotex Gold pads. Outside of that I'll probably just get the Meghan Racing M-RS exhaust and then go for looks. Get a nice tint all the way around a small lip on the front, black mesh grill, and black out the rims. I've seen a couple sexy looking blacked out Crossfires and I love it.

After all of that is done I'm probably going to be done modding it except for maybe the sprint booster and some adjustments to the rev limiter. I plan on just doing some tasteful modifications and getting the full potential out of this glorious machine.
