Default Graduation time=car parts

Hey. I'm a senior in high school and i'm finally graduating. My family told me to make a list of anything I wanted for my car and they'd work on getting it. this is immediate family, extended, a whole bunch of people. so what should i put on the list? i have a 93 gt. completely stock except for flowmasters. i want it loud and faster. any help is appreciated. the only thing i've thought of is headers and a x or h pipe. what are some things i could put down.?

thanks

Have them put the money towards college tuition and drive the car as is for at least 4 more years. That way you can buy a lot more on the other side.

If the other is covered how much do you plan on having to spend?

i got a guy givin me gears for free. i sold my old car to him and hes got a cousin that works for some parts place so i'm gettin 3:73s for free. any particular brand headers? and cat back or off road. bc i want it loud. actually i dont really know what cat back means so. and all that stuff is going on the list.

college...idk bout how i'm payin for it. i think my mom and dad are doin loans so they're not really givin me a grad. present. but my family said they'd rather buy me car parts than give me money. said i'd take it to college and spend it on beer and parties . so they're just gonna buy stuff off of a list i make.

if you want volume dont get L/T headers, get shorties. i have stock manifolds on mine still lol and my car screams.
cat back is referring to the mufflers back to the tail pipes. off-road is a non catted mid pipe. if you want tone stick with an h. i have an o/r h pipe on my car along with cherrybomb extremes. the sound my car has isnt for the faint of heart.
if you have a stick shift grab a shifter, like a b&m, pro5.0, steeda tri-ax. if you have a auto get a shift kit put in.
along with the gears you may wanna have your diff rebuilt, as in the clutches for the limited slip

Sounds like a five finger discount. If this is the case and you know it that stuff will come back on you. Karma and wrath makes it rounds. Don't put yourself in the middle of something like that.
