for exhaust there are lots of brands out there, they all sound way better than stock. it just depends on what sound or features you want. good ones are flowmaster, magnaflow, SLP, bassani, borla etc etc. as for intakes i dont know enough about the different brands but from what i know there all do basicaly the same thing so just stay away from no name brands. a mod that everyone suggests is gears, 3.73's or 4.10's are the favorites. good luck and keep us updated.

For the CAI, def stay away from no-name brands. Try and get one that is plastic and not metal (K&N, for example). For the exhaust, do the midpipe at the same time you do LT's. For the catback, I've got flowmasters, which I like, but I really like the sound of some of the slp catbacks and magnapacks that some guys on this forum have.

Supercharger would be awesome... but so would twin turbos!! Haha those are both real expensive though. Personally, I'm lookin' into the nitrous route. Just keep comin' back to the forums here and you'll get a lot of good ideas

gears first (at least 4.10's), midpipe, tuner (get for sure if it's auto) that'a good start, good luck.

The only reason i say supercharge it, is cuz by the time you spend endless money on mods you could have bought a supercharger.... In most cases i respond to nitrus sayin, "nitrous if for girls." But since you are a girl, let me just say that nitrous makes a car go fast, but it doesnt make a fast car... im a purist... what can i say...

Yea thats totally understandable. Believe me, I would much rather get my power from a supercharger. I just don't have money for that though. I can run a 75 or 100 shot for much cheaper. I see where you're comin' from though and I really respect a purist's viewpoint.
