Default Next mod?

Iīm 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 itīs cheap and simple. What else? Was considering Meziere waterpump, but donīt know if I want to do that just yet. NO gears, donīt want to install 4.10īs just yet...

Iīll have 3-4k left over, but Iīd 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.

Iīd love to agressively lower it, and Iīve seen a 1.5"F/2"R spring kit by BMR that looked amazing, but that definitly isnīt going to happen while I live here in Western Maryland. Even a mild drop, Iīd 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 thatīs 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 itīs opened up.

As for the long tubes though, definitly considering a Kookīs 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? Iīd love to put a set of Corsaīs on it aswell, but with full exhaust, that thing would be LOUD. My gf still lives with her mother, and I donīt need to be raising any more hell than necessary...
