I can't find any intakes or exhausts for your car. They would have to be custom.

thanks! where can i check out custom exhausts? Magnaflow, etc? And for the intake I'd want a cold air intake or just a non stock intake?

I found an exhaust for you and I think what most people do with Cabrios is just take the top of the air cleaner off and drop in a K&N filter. I think you could also get a universal cone type K&N filter from their website that matches the same diameter of your intake tube and stick it on the end. On the exhaust you may get a better deal if you go to an exhaust shop and have them make you one.

So with the air intake, can the cone tip filter be used on the air intake in conjunction with the drop in filter? i think i found the right diameter cone tip filter with K&N

No, you would remove the air box and then put the cone filter on the end of the intake.

I'm not familiar with your engine bay layout but, the cone filter does let in more air. It would really be what suits the air box space best.
