Default Where should I begin?

I just got a 2003 Mustang GT, 5-Speed.... But i want to put on some performance parts but i don't know wher to start. What is the best way to go without spending a whole lot of money?

Catback exhaust (I like Flowmasters), gears (can't go wrong w/ 3.73s) and cold air inake.. Just to start w/o spending too much money..

Congradulations!!
Is this your first?
I also think the exhaust is a good
first mod. Unless your system
sounds good now.

Start with a full exhaust(headers, x/h pipe, catback), and gears(3.90's or 4.10's).

Thanks everyone for your input. This is my first stang and i am very happy. The exhaust should get me started for right now and possibly a cold air intake. Which brand of a cold air intake would be best?

Don't bother with a CAI really, it's a nice touch but you won't be picking up any power for the $200 you'll be laying out. I'd say pass on it.

If you're heart is really set on one, try the K&N FIPK, or JLT RAI.

Pullies are also a good early mod.
