Default Intake system or cat-back?

I'm just starting to mod my 02 gt 5 speed, the only thing i've done so far is 3.73's. What do you guys think i should do next?

Densecharger sytem with MAF, accufab tb/plenium (wheres a good place to get a kit, if any)

or

magnapack cat back



Also, why do some guys say im wasting money/horsepower on a 75 mm tb, should i go with 70?

THanks for the input

If you can do both then I would say they make a great combo. This one is kinda hard to say because those are both some really good upgrades.

I guess I will have to say do the Intake right now and hold off on the exhaust till you get the cash to do all your exhaust. Longtube headers, good off road X pipe, and then I would definetly get the MagnaPack Catback. You cant beat it what so ever! MagnaFlows are great also but the packs will really scream.

If you go with a 75mm T/B I have heard rumors that you wont get the right A/F ratio because the T/B is to big. Ask MDvaldosta about this one. I have heard him explain it a while back but really cant remember what he said about it.


EDIT: To get the densecharger go to WWW.Densecharger.COM and for the Accufab T/B and plenum I would suggest you try WWW.MustangTuning.COM

I would go cat-back right away because you will get the immediate benfit of your car sounding better and "feeling" faster, plus it will be louder and all that is good!!! Also I dont think the intake mods will make any difference until the back pressure is relieved.

Well the catback isnt going to help a tremendous amount till you go all out and get the headers and a good X pipe. The headers is where its all at!
