RE: Best / Basic Upgrades for 99' 3.8L

Put it this way, I have u/d pulleys on a 280 rwhp GT, and I'm runng a large stereo system, and I have no problems, when I'm sitting still I may have to rev it to 2000 RPMs for like 1 or 2 seconds, but that's about it, and it's only if I've been sitting a while.

Ok, so I'm now thinkin':

1) CAI
2) LSD
3) Dual Exhaust (straight pipes) (would include getting new bumper?)

What kind of money / work am I taking about (both with "me" doing the work and having the work done)?

sorry to reply to this post so far down the thread but i just saw it.....please NO STRAIGHT PIPES!!!!....there is a sixer here in town thats straighted and it sounds like shyt.please dont do that....disgrace to mustangs.....unless someone has a soundclip of one that sounds good.

Straights for better performance, Y's for better sound?

Edit: After reading the info sticky on exhaust, I'm a little more informed of what I want, and that's true straight, x, or H, either way that guy in town must have just had ****ty mufflers, I'll go with Borla and/or magnaflow.
