Did you feel a huge difference with the custom tune Vs. stock, without a CAI?
The custom tune will add the most HP gain and adding a CAI will help add a little more.

I would recommend getting the exhaust next. It will not add any performance gains, however the sound will be a lot better! Sometimes louder isn't always better, especially if there's alot of drone. I've heard good things about the GT takeoff from a manual and the SLP's. It all depends on what sound you are going for. Listen to youtube vids and see which one best fits you. I decided to pass on getting the dual set up due to the minimal performance gains. Hope this helps!

The tune is what makes the CAI/Tune combo..not sure if you think I had a CAI, but don't any more? or vice versa? But from what I've heard, you can't tell too much difference from the CAI. The tune makes all the difference.

I have the manual GT muffler on now, it's a bit louder than the stock, but still not loud enough for my taste. That's why I was thinking about a muffler delete..

So I'll be looking around 600 no matter what I do, I don't want to pay that.)
The cheapest would be the resonators, I think they were $150 compared to the $200 for the Loudmouths. The resonators and the loudmouths are essentially the same, but the resonators have a little less tubing on the inside for more of a straight thru but with enough that it is not a straight pipe. You could put 1 in and save the other for the future conversion, if you go that route or if you wanted something even cheaper cherry bomb makes a glasspack/bullet style muffler and they are sold individually so you only have to buy one. I would check you tube to see if you like the sound though. Here is link for the cherry bombs, just remember if you order to go with the 2.5" in/ outlet muffler
