Well, he's a newb...let him be...lol

I haven't seen your post, but meh...

The first mod is the same for autos and manuals (I have an auto GT too)

Exhaust (X or H pipe) then Catback
then gears...
then shift kit
(I had a good guy tell me to drive w/ the gears first and then decided if I needed/wanted a shift kit)

Hope this helps.... P.S. see sig for awesome exhaust reccomendation!

I'd throw in 4.10 gears, shift kit and maybe a 2500 stall converter if you have the cash or knowledge to do so yourself.

Couple that with radials and I bet you could rip a 13.5 or lower ET...

what is better Flowmaster or Magnaflow? H-pipe or X-pipe because i heard from someone that the X-pipe wont pass inspection. Along with that what is the prefect combination

As long as the x-pipe is catted it'll pass (same with a H pipe). Go with Magnaflow.
