Default what to do....first?

Hello all, names ben and this is my first topic post.woo

I just picked up a 96 gt 5 speed=]

and i have around 1000 dollars now. And i'm also selling stuff from my other car and i'm also selling my dirtbike. I would like to get exhaust and gears done, Then maybe an intake and a throttle body.

I have my heart set on Slp Loudmouths. I have looked at other post when most of you bashed the slp because of loudness and rapsyness,But... i live in the county, Where everyone has loud cars and the cops dont care=]. They'd be the catback..Now x or h pipe?
mac or bbk? And also for headers..Whats the advantage of shorties from longtubes? Also 373's or 410s?.. I have a good job, and no girlfriend. So i can save money pretty quick. The car will be supercharged eventually. Are the mods i have posted a good startin point?

thanks for your time/feedback

-ben

I wouldn't worry about bolt ons until you PI swap it.

haha. Jp.

Do a PI Swap first, and once you do that, get some SLP LM1's w/ a shortie O/R H and LONGTUBE headders (shortie headders are worthless). After thats complete, supercharger it, and then get an intake gears and a tune

If you want to go with FI, i'd say 3.73's will work for you!
