Hey everyone, just joined this club over the weekend. Picked up this gorgeous '22 ST to replace the wife's waaay to small Corolla Hybrid. Its got 56k on it, which is baffling to me... i barely put 12k on a year on any of my cars these days.

Looking to get some must have mods installed here soon, thinking catch can (open to options) and rear diff brace (AWR is on the top of my list based on price). Not looking to go too crazy with this car, as my wife is the "primary" driver although i suspect i'll still drive it more than her. Open to suggestions for other must haves, not afraid to wrench myself.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum! A catch can is good first mod. There are a few out there. I chose to go with the UPR dual valve myself. The intercooler on these are much too small and is another good first mod. There's lots of good information here to help with choosing what you want to do. Congrats and enjoy!

Yeah I was eyeing that same UPR can, probably what i'll end up with.

I'm very familiar with how undersized Ford intercoolers are, just installed one in my Ranger. Its on my eventual list for the Explorer, just not as wallet friendly as the one for my Ranger was (400 bucks for intercooler and piping).
