Few things in mind
I want to add a few things to my stang to give it more power and better performance. Thinking about the cold air intake, throttle body, and dual exhaust. Kinda limited on money, what should i go with?

Only do exhaust if your limited on money. Its the best bang for the buck mod out of those 3.
The CAI wont do all that much, 3rwhp tops. The TB wont do a thing for a stock engine, it may even make it run worse.
For exhaust, get a couple Thrush welded series mufflers off Summit($30/each,2.25" inlet/outlet, offset/offset). Then take your car/mufflers to your local muffler shop and tell them you want duals out the back.
It shouldnt cost you more than $400.

I would get a pair of high flow cats (you can get two mangaflows for under $200) as well and have them do the whole exhaust from the stock manifolds. I've had both and for the price I like the whole setup alot better in terms of sound and performance.

Take it from someone with a CAI... skip the CAI and throttle body all-together. Save up for a Windstar upper intake. http://www.vapauto.com/windstar.htm I'm really considering making this my next mod.
