Default Which one would be best?

Hey guys after a long long wait I finally got my loan and ordered the following parts.
SSS (Adrenaline) Catback Exhaust
SCT Livewire Dash mounted Tuner
Steeda Tri-axe shifter
17" FR500 Rims
K&N CAI
4.10 gears (to replace mine that are whining)
Im now faced with a problem, I will have about $300 bucks left to drop what other bolt on will I feel the greatest change with? Pulleys, Longtubes? I wanna stray away from NOS since it's my Daily Driver.

You got a loan just to mod your mustang? I understand wanting to do all the things you have listed, but "patience is a virtue."

I say save the $300 and use it to start paying off the loan.

haha yeah I picked up my 2001 GT for $2000 bucks and just paid it off. It has quite a few problems (grinding 4.10, body damage, bald tires) so I'm getting a loan to fix these problems since I got the car for so cheap. So I figured I'd order the parts I'm going to end up buying down the road anyways since I'll have a loan payment either way haha

Oh....I see.

I guess I would narrow it down to either tb/plenum or longtubes.

long tubes might be more then 300, i got my mac long tubes (with shorty H pipe<-- you will need) for 550 without install. I installed them myself which saved a butt load of money. normal install price i guess would be between 400-700 depending on location and who you know, its a long install... They make your stang sound bad *** though

yikes!

not the best of ideas there. what happens if something else breaks?

i would take/send everything back and get rid of that loan.
