Both of those are cat back exhaust. You can check out www.rpmoutlet.com , I think they have the magnapack cat back and the bassani x you were looking at.
With $2500 you have a lot of options open to you so here are some common first moves.
Short throw shifter if it is a 5spd. I love my steeda short throw shifter
Exhaust, I recommend at least getting the x pipe. Headers are great but expensive. cat back is fairly cheap and gives some power and great sound. Bassani and Magnaflow are good companies.
Intake, Alot of people love thier densecharger cold air intakes or you could get the C&L one its pretty good.
Gears, if you know of a reliable shop to swap out your gears this is one of the best mods you can do. 3.73 is a good all around gear since it keeps your highway rpms decent plus it goes pretty well with superchargers and n20. 3.90 and 4.10s will give you more accerlation but you will be running higher rpms and if you plan on doing any forced induction then you may want to go with the smaller 3.73. If you get gears I recommend getting ford racing performance parts gear sets.

Figure you'll probably get about 50-70 hp with the bolt on mods at the high end with that kind of money. Save your money like Dan02Gt said and you'll get close to 100 I think. But then again if it'll take you along time to save up for that, then just go ahead and do the exhaust along with a shifter and some gears. Either way you go, it'll mean some big HP.

2500 get a supercharger procharger shoot that should be a good start ofcourse I wouldn't install it right away. Not until you get some new pistons and ect for it but while you have the money to spend on it might as well or buy some heads and pistons AFR or Holley Heads and Holley Pistons or Keith Black Pistons shoot I wish I had 2500 I could think of plenty of stuff to buy.
