welcome. when i think about 545s, automatically eurocarfan and his previous dinan5 and also vegastrashed with his 545 come to my mind. you could try checking their profiles/signatures to see their long lists of mods. enjoy the forums.

#1 DINAN CAI and Throttle Body
#2 Exhaust, will probably not add a ton, but adds pleasure to the ears. Has more impact if you do #1.
#3 Chip. I am considering the Dinan chip as it does not affect the warranty, which I am almost out of. But, it also comes at a hefty price.
