Mods
OK, after reading this forum for a few months now it seems a consensus that the first two mods done are axlebacks and CAI/Tune.
Now that I have done both of them my question is what is generally considered mod number 3?
Here are some things that seem to be mentioned a lot here:
gears, lighter driveshaft, lower rear control arms, pulley, intake manifold, mid pipes, higher flow cats.
At this time I really don't want to go to extremes with headers, cams , supercharger or nitrous.

mid pipe and gears would be my next choice.
gears wont add hp but will make you get into the power curve quicker, thus making you faster.
the o/r midpipe will add a few ponies, but the sound will make it louder and louder is always better.

gears...ask some of the guys that know more than I do about which to go with, If you're planning on FI down the road 3.73's seem to be the choice or so I've read. If not, and you wanna get going quick, 4.10's are what I've heard to be the choice. You could always go for show and not go for the third.
I went with an offroad x pipe. It makes me grin every single day and it's probably the best money I've spent on this car other than the intake/tune just because of the pure audible enjoyment. The lowering springs and wheels were a close #4 for me. After I got the intake, tune, and exhaust the car was a lot quicker than stock, so much that I was happy with it. I went for looks next so I did the drop and wheels. What I didn't expect was the transformation from the suspension - Koni sports, Steeda Ultralites, MM caster/camber plates, Steeda LCAs, and Steeda adj. PB - WOW!!! I look forward to getting in my car every morning and I even get up early sometimes so I can take the long way to work, lol.
Headers arent an extreme! Find some shorties for a couple hundred bucks and bolt em on one day with a friend. Me and my dad put mine on in a few hours. Not very hard at all, just a matter of following directions. Jacking the motor up a bit was a little strange at first but it was a pretty easy install and the exhaust note is awesome. If you have the money for long tubes then by all means go for it, but i got my BBK shorties for $80 shipped new and installed them myself for free. After installing them i believe that installing long tubes would not have been much if any harder to do
Yea go with 410's and if you ever decide to get a supercharger u will love it. I had heard many people say that 410's and a supercharger are way to much. Most of the people that were saying that were people that didnt have that setup and just preaching. I called brenspeed which is a very reputable speed shop on this forum and many other forums as well. They were the last voice that convinced me otherwise. WIth my 410's and the saleen supercharger. I couldnt ask for a better set up
Scratch the midpipe it's a waste save for longtube headers. Gears will be the next mod if you want more acceleration hands down. Me personally I would go with a a one piece drive shaft which will free up some power and rear LCA's
