TUNER AND UNDERDRIVE PULLEYS. THE TUNER HELPS ALOT, AND THE PULLYS SO U DONT ROB POWER FORM THE ENGINE. NOT THE SEXIEST MODS, BUT RELITEVLY CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE. OF COURSE, IF U HAVE MONEY, GO FOR A TURBO!!!

I would say tuner. Just due to the fact that when you decide to get gears, you will be able to change the speedo with it than have to buy a speed cal

I've heard clips and it sounds a bit higher pitched than other systems. I'm a MAC fan, myself. Or Borla, but those are like rediculously expensive. There's no need for an exhaust system that will outlive your car and probably you.

I'd say get these things in this order
1.) Tuner - won't add much hp, but if you're driving an auto it will seriously help, even more so once the gears are done as you'll need the tuner to set the ecu to the right gear ratio
2.) Gears and some type of limited slip differential such as the Ford T-lok or the much better Detroit True Lock
3.) Cold Air Intake (have just what you need in my sig) will deffinitly complement your exhaust
4.) U/D Pulleys (also have just what you need in my sig) they will not help accelleration buy only by the smallest of margins, but will make your dynos look better as well as improve mpg.

Do the underdrive pullies do much for hp?
