most people are going to tell you gears. it depends on your usage. Gears will make your car feel a lot faster, but hurt on gas milage a little. Can get expensive too, purchase + install. I had a bad experience with mine also. Exhaust is always on the top of the list too

Unless you got alot of money to drop...i'd say start with things that will help not only perfomance...but the overall feel of your car. Most people go with exaust or gears. A nice short throw shifter may be nice if you drive a manual. Also some full length weld in subframe connectors arent too expensive, and will strengthen your chassis tremendously.

I agree. Nothing beats the sound of a bellowing mustang.
