Default What next...need advice...

So I just did my CAI/Tune, and I'm doing my LCAs today. Not so into cosmetic stuff at the moment, so where should I go from here? I have about 8 or 9 hundred to spend on the car...where would it be best spend to improve performance?

If I did a midpipe, it'd be an O/R H-pipe. What kind of gains would that alone give me (I mean w/o headers)?

Dont buy UDP's, waste of $$.

Are you planning on going f/i in the future? If so save up for that, you already have the grounds to do so.

I wouldnt worry about gears, ds, or anything like that. $900 you can get a very nice set of long tube headers. It all depends on what you want to do.

I don't think I'll go FI. What LTs would you recommend, what gains can I expect?

I'd like as many options to consider as possible. I want to know what the best deal is for the money.

I'm thinking I want to go the exhaust route right now. What would sound BEST (not LOUDEST) with the SLP Loudmouths? I don't want obnoxiously loud and I don't want it to sound like crap. Really really loud is ok, but painfully loud isn't. Should I do just headers, just midpipe (if so, O/R or not?), or both? What kind of gains would I get from each of these options?

Is it true that getting a new set of gears feels like it adds 50 rwhp on the butt dyno?
