Default Thinking of upgrading

Greetings - I'm thinking about doing a DCAI, larger throttle body, new plugs and wires, and magnaflow cat back exhaust on my 2005 limited roadster (non-srt). The car only has 46K miles on it. I'm just looking for a little more power but not expecting it to be a race car. Has anyone else done this? Is it worth it? Any tips? Are there "unintended consequences" to be concerned about?

Thanks for the time.

Best bang for the buck is a tune by MSS, Mercedese Swap Shop. They are online, call them for info and advice.

Everything you mentioned has been done numerous times and all the info is on the forum; Use the search box at the upper right corner and choose the google option for best results. The DCAI is over kill for the Limited. Use a single CAI and you will be fine. When that is all completed get the tune for best results.
