Default If you have had NA mods for a while, worth it?

Looking for opinions from *thoughtful* NA owners who have applied mods to the car. My warranty is up in the near future and I am getting the itch. However; I have been down this road in the past (with other cars) and ended up thinking 'why did I do that?' after 6 months to a year. I.E. looking back and wondering what the mod delivered other than noise?
I know there are choices for ECU tuning, CAI, various TVT kit levels, etc. If you have done some of these mods, gotten used to them (time has passed, the short term euphoria or disappointment period is over), and have an objective opinion you would like to share, please do so!

And thanks.

the mods I've done are worth every cent to me. Honestly, I think the car is just a bit too slow stock. Ok, a LOT slow. Now, it's at least passable in a straight line and even more of a blast in the twisties...

Ive spent loads of money on mods.. My two favs are my magnaflow exhaust and needswings intake. the exhaust sounds amazing and I love the whistle sound from the intake. not a waste of money at all in my eyes

For performance mods I have the following:

- Needswings single cold air intake (CAI)
- Eurocharged tunning
- ANSA sport muffler

I have no regrets from these mods and enjoy the extra power on my roadster. I recently bought a coupe and will be going through the same thing again here soon for it.

I installed a TVT ported intake manifold, 74mm throttle body, NW CAI and bigger injectors. I need a tune but I can still feel a bit more thrust in the midrange especially.

I'm happy I installed them but it's clearly no where near on par with an SRT6. On the other hand, I was mostly fine with what the stock car had for performance to start with.
