Default Quick Question

I have a 2002 v6 stick stang with a little over 80k miles on it, and i was wondering if it is worth it for me to buy some minor performance mods for it, such as a CAI, and maybe xsaust, or is it not worth the money at this point?

Thank You.

Actually, I have the money, it's just that I'm one of those people who like to have a nice deal saved up, so that once I do a major mod, I'm not a.) flat *** broke, B.) can also afford any small parts or peices that may also be needed for the mod, or due to my accidental proneness, parts I break that need to be replaced, and c.) incase an emergency comes up and I need cash. I'm waiting to save up about 8K once I do that by summers end, or maybe before, then I'll do all those mods below.[8D]

Yep britt. Yea Harv, I know, but 4.10s are just a little much for me, I never really race, and remember 3.73s are a huge difference from my stock gears, me going to 3.73s is like you going to 4.10s so it almost averages out. And since I drive long distances every week, gas consumption, while not a major issue, is one for me to keep in mind.
