Full Exhaust and Gears will be the majority's response

Going to do the work yourself?

Shouldn't gears be your first big bang for the buck?
No HP increase but you'll feel it big time

 

Obsolete is right, gears of all mods will feel the best increase, BUT for me I want to SOUND good and thats why I listed the first mods as cat back, plus most guys cant do a ring and pinion but can bolt on most of what I listed. The gears are a big job and can cost alot of $$ if you pay a shop. My order was by sound, feel and cash outlay. Just my thoughts.
