Default 2005 GT modification

Hey everyone,

I'm new here and relatively new to modifying Mustangs. I had an 89 foxbody a few years back, but it was already heavily modded when I bought it. Right now, I picked up an 05 GT Premium convertible for short money and it has really low miles. It's bone stock with the exception of a Mac axle back exhaust I put on a couple months ago. I like the sound, but I'm really looking to take it a bit farther at this point. I'm looking to do headers (BBK ceramic long tubes probably), an x or h pipe (haven't decided which yet), a cold air intake and a tune. I'm basically looking for advice on whether I should go H or X, and what cai/tune I should go with. I really appreciate any input.

Thanks!

This is a good CAI/Tuner:

And this is a good Header/Midpipe combo:
