Default Looking for opinions on next mod

I am not trying to start a war with this post, but currently all that I have done to my car is lower it about 1.5 and throw on a CAI. After I get the Caster/Camber plates figured out, I'll be itching for something new, providing that it is inexpensive. I don't run at the track, I just like to tear open on the back roads every now and then and have debating whether a new exhaust, control arms or any other inexpensive mod would be better. Ideas?

Agreed with exhaust, and I suggest starting with a midpipe, then the catback.

exhaust if you want it to sound like seks. get gears if you want it to wake up and yank you back in your seat.

Gears, no question. If you have a 2000 or below (t-45/t-5) go with 3.73s. If you have a 2001+ (t3650?) go with 4.10s.

Gears will be your biggest bang for the buck. They should cost around 150-200 bucks, and perhaps another 200 or less to install. Don't go to a dealer, go to a performance shop that has done an 8.8 before, preferably a mustang shop.

I thought he had gears already. My bad. In that case, gears first, then midpipe/exhaust.
