Default Bolt on or other cheap suggestions?

I recently purchased an 04 GT manual. I love this car!! wanted one as long as i can remember. i have added a steeda cold air, 2 chamber flowmasters, and will be adding a 75mm throttle body/plenum soon. Does anyone have any suggestions for bolt ons/cheap mods that i should do next before i get expensive? thanks alot

Well a mid-pipe (x or h) will run you around 200-300 for an off road. Thats a nice mod. Gears arent too bad and are deff. worth the money they cost. Uderdrive pullies will run you aroun 200 for a good set.

for a little more than what the 75mm tb/plenum will cost you can get some gears put in and you will notice that 24 times more.

Should have gotten a JLT intake. Yeah get a mid pipe to help out the sound of the Flowmasters... mine was $140 and also get a tuner. Just go on different perfomance sites and get ideas. Try AmercianMuscle.com.

if you want cheap and effective id go with a steeda timing adjuster if you dont plan on buying a tuner anytime soon. you will notice quite an increase for the 150 it costs.install is also a simple do it yourself project.

Save for FI... All the little "bolt-ons' dont give you near the amount of power FI.. If I were to do it over again, I would have went FI first, then worked with some bolt-ons if I needed more power.

why? because saving up for FI is harder to do then compared to scraping a couple hundred every now and then to get some bolt ons..

FIstands forforced induction. Either a supercharger or turbo. Depending on how loud you would like your exhaust to be, an off road (or catted, but more expensive) H pipe would sound really good with the flows.
