Default Performance for an S40?

Whats goin on everybody, i own a 2005 S40 2.4i automatic, the car is clean but obviously not fast. I'm aware theres not much I can do to make it fast but does anybody have any suggestions to increase speed and torque? Thanks

Eurosport Tuning has an exhaust system for your car and a high flow panel air filter.
Eurosport Tuning: High Flow Sport Replacement Filter
Eurosport Tuning: EuroSport Dual Sport Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust Kit - S40/V50 2.4i FWD

Could do a custom cold air intake.

Not a lot. I'd built the car to have fun in the corners rather then try in vain to make it go very fast in a straight line.

Springs are a start. Then there is the rear sway bar, HD Endlinks, strutbraces, chassis braces. Lots of little things to tighten up the chassis and make it handle like it's on rails.
