Since it's bone stock, I would suggest going with atleast a cat-back and mid-pipe for now.

This should leave you with enough money to pick up a smaller pulley, plugs & idlers + belt. There are several pulleys to choose from, anything smaller than the 3.10 will require a tune, you can use a 'canned' tune from a handheld but I highly suggest against it. If you go with a smaller pulley, I also highly suggest you get the larger heat exchanger, as all the excessive heat will decrease your HP potential and also cause unwanted stress on the engine.
