Default Help me decide...

Ok, after lots and lots of research, thinking, etc. I've narrowed my first few performance mods down to a few combinations. I just need help on choosing which one.

The cai and tune are going to be the biggest impact ... the axle backs will just be sound but im sure you know that already the full exhaust set up with give you some added ponies but gears are a good investment although they dont add HP you will see a difference ... and it all depends on what you want to do with the car ... personally the cai and tune are really great pick up and i want her to scream so everyone knows im coming so id def go with the full exhaust set up

Dynatech longtubes with o/r x-pipe, axle-back, C&L intake w/tune are definitly going to give you the best performance and the car will be awesome with the tuner as well...good luck with your decision though..

5 Speed Stick huh.....Shoulda went with an auto...LoL..

Go with the C&L Intake/SCT Tuner for sure. Thats the first thing you should do!!! Then grab the axlebacks of your choice, SLP LM's....are what I got. That should be pretty good though. What are your plans for you car long-term? I'd wait on the gears until you know EXACTLY what you wanna do with it. Since it's a stick, go ahead and get the shifter. Thats usually one of the first mods I see Manuals get. You'll be all good man, I know you'll make the right decision.

BTW, on LT's and mid pipe, check out Kooks and American Racing Headers. They are the BEST there is, and are top quality.....I'd check em out.....

Thanks for the replies guys. Well, I do plan on going forced induction with the car within about a year, so the 4.10s may be a little too much for that. Might have to step downs to 3.73s from what I've read. I've heard lots of good things about the Kooks and American Racing headers too, but have also heard great things about the Dynatechs. Plus they come with the larger primaries for when I go forced induction and Jared at LethalPerformance quoted me a deal that I can't really pass up. Decisions, decisions... Edit* The only reason I'm thinking about getting the gears so soon is because Ford decided to change the manual gears from 3.55 to damn 3.31s for '07. Why, I have no clue.
