I like how Magnaflows and Dynomax Ultraflows sounds. Check youtube for different set ups, and find one you like.

A short throw shifter, if you have a T-5, or some sub-frames are nice little mods to consider as well.

quarter window trim really helps a lot. I'm so glad I did it but they suck to put on. I also like the Idea of the ud pullies.
I agree with 94blk on getting a short throw shifter or subframe connectors as well. Depending on your budget you could get a few under hundred dollar things, save the shifter(150ish).

1/4 window trim...lol the stick over the original deal..lol, only other way to replace the rubber seal if that's what you mean is a whole window assembly = expensive
