Default Next mod?

I´m currently out of country but returning in about 3 weeks and I want to do a new mod to the Horse. I set 6k aside for my trip, and will have about 3-4 left over when I return. Kind of uncertain as to what I would like to mod. I am mostly looking for more ponies, not concerned about cosmetics yet. If not hp, then I would do suspension. Right now I have C&L Racer, Brenspeed 93 tune, Shaftmaster 3.5 driveshaft, and BMR rear lower control arms (poly). Thinking about Steeda UD pully since it´s cheap and simple. What else? Was considering Meziere waterpump, but don´t know if I want to do that just yet. NO gears, don´t want to install 4.10´s just yet...

I´ll have 3-4k left over, but I´d like to put a considerable amount of that in the bank. Need a new job!

Well since you don't want cosmetics or gears and a supercharger is probably too pricey, I think suspension is probably the way to go. UDPs would help for a little power

Edit: Or what about long tube headers

Default Exhaust

Since you have done biz with Brenspeed I would call them and look into a new exhaust system best thing I did for the 2006GT simple or get Cams to go with the CAI.

+1, would probably be one of the more cheaper mods for what you are looking for aswell.

I´d love to agressively lower it, and I´ve seen a 1.5"F/2"R spring kit by BMR that looked amazing, but that definitly isn´t going to happen while I live here in Western Maryland. Even a mild drop, I´d tear my bumpers off on the bumps and junk here. I hope to move South shortly...Florida roads and nice and smooth

Cam work is definitly on the top of my to do list, but that´s alot of dough once you add parts cost, labor, traveling to Brenspeed (perferably for them to do it), and other mods that I might aswell do while it´s opened up.

As for the long tubes though, definitly considering a Kook´s LT+offroad Xpipe combo, and ceramic coated. Would be 1200$ with free coating coupon at Maryland Speed. I have access to a 3 bay garage with car lifts, every tool imaginable, and 3 great mechanics, so no labor cost.

How do you think that would sound with stock axlebacks? I´d love to put a set of Corsa´s on it aswell, but with full exhaust, that thing would be LOUD. My gf still lives with her mother, and I don´t need to be raising any more hell than necessary...
