dont get a slp catted x with flows[:'(] get the catted x with lm2's if you dont want it to be too loud. Also id probably get the pauls high performance intake spacer if i were you, its 100 bucks and it definantly felt better after install
^Yeah I'm actually thinking about the LM2's. I wanna hear some sound clips of em.
I want that muscley sound more than the loud drag racer sound.

gears will make the most difference and it will cost similar to a exhaust section.

Well you have the stock 3.55

So I'd go exhaust ... LT's .. not cats and your choice of mufflers into dumps .. just hand dummy tails ..
Shifter ( assuming its a manual )
and then go after some suspension mods.. you'd be surprise what a good set of springs .. control arms .. weld in subframes etc. can do for a car ...

Will suspension change the feel of the actual driving of the car? More rough or smooth? It's not gonna be a track addict or anything so it's more like my daily driver with the occasional stop to the track every very so often.

The first thing that I would say about modding a stang is exhaust. It gives that sound which is priceless. You could also look into a shifter and suspension mods too.

like I'm about to throw on a Ford Racing Stage 3 suspension package .. pretty much a total suspension overhaul .. Even with what I have now .. Spring .. bushings .. control arms and weld in subframes.. I go from taking a right sweeping turn at 45 to taking a right sweeping turn at 60 and still feeling comfortable .. and if you ever do take it to the track .. it really makes a big difference .. its a good mod if you love "driving" your stang .. I mean I bought my car to use it ..

LMAO. I know how you feel. I would never buy a stang, make it my dream car and then drive it maybe one or two Sundays a month. Nope, my car is bought to drive.

I would possibly get some gears...4:10's imo. But you could start off with a catback of your choice and maybe a mid pipe. Look around online to see if you can hear what you think sounds best.
that is what i would do and what i did. Exhaust then gears. Whatever you do, dont waste your money on a CAI.
