Default Deciding on next mod...

My car is "stock" as of now, but soon I want to start modifying. I was thinking of starting out with pypes long tube headers and an off road x pipe. Then I started looking at the ford racing camshafts and they're tempting, so they'll be next on the list.

I just have a few questions my car is a daily driver and cammed mustangs seem pretty serious most of the time so would this hurt drivability on an everyday level?

Also, any one in CT or in the nearby area I'm new to the owner ship of vehicles so will I have to pass inspection at any time soon?

Depending on how strict CT emissions laws are you might need to keep you cats, oxygen sensors which will limit your exhaust mods somewhat

I'd suggest an intake/tuner combo first. You're going to need a tuner regardless, because the 3 you listed require tuning.

First thing I did was rear lower control arms to kill the wheel hop.

I know I'm going to need a tune that's why I'm doing them all around the same time and I have a roush stage 3 so I'm set for suspension and intake for now.
