JLT cai is pretty nice, but you have to remove ur strut bar, i'd rather just drop in a K&N Filter but if ur willing to get rid of the strut bar JLT cai is the way to go, Get rid of the cats if it has any left, LT headers are fun but a pain to install, shorties aren't even worth the work, get a nice set of tires if there aren't any on it, possibly do some suspension work, then S/C it

mustang3GT07 i hear you on the nittos i have them on my 94 n love them but this car has performance tires already, i forget the brand name ill get it when i pick the car up but i remember looking n seeing they were performance ones ... i might get some wider ones in the back though ... i think the first mods will go in order
short throw (tri-ax or pro 5.0)
k&n filter since i wana keep the stb
tint (needs it bad)
udp
mid pipe with hi-flow cats (i think the cats are going on it so might as well upgrade)
already has a mac exhaust so after all of those im gona need more input

I went from the stock mid-pipe to a mac high flow cat h-pipe (2 cats). if i had to guess it was about 20% louder and i could instantly feel the difference in throttle response. some people would disagree with the throttle response part..but I DEFINITELY felt it.
