Default First Performance Upgrade

Hey all,
Just got the 05 S Type and already making my wife mad. I want start thinking about what to do to this engine to get more power. She doesn't get it...even though I have several hot rods I play with! So, what should I start with? Intake? How is the stock exhaust...good enough? Let the ideas fly...Live vicariously thru my wallet!

Ummm.....what kind of S-Type? 3.0, 4.2, R? How many miles on it?
How fast you want to go? That will determine the upgrade potential.
