But I was really looking into the lower control arms or strut tower brace but I have to start saving for the exhaust system now. I'm hoping that it wont cost me too much since it's my birthday lol, I've been doing some math heres what I have worked out. Longtubes: Parents, Shorty H: Grandparents, High flow cats: other Grandparents, Gaskets, 02's: sister. Then I have $100 from the gf to play with which will probably go towards the installation which is out of my pocket and I got a place from Mustangmann who will do it for like $250-300.

Why have them buy all that, I'd say ask a few people for a reputable local shop and have them fab you up divorced duals with stock 2.25" stainless steel piping all the way back, and buy you some force flows and have them installed, it will cost a fraction of the price above, and will sound similar and only be a few hp less on delivery. Good thing is that with 2.25" piping you'll retain some low end torque that you would other wise loose with the 2.5" kit.

You really think its only a few extra hp with the longtubes? Mustangmann said the whole setup took a full second off his trap so there has to be some decent gains, more than the udp. Plus I'll still be upgrading the shocks/struts so its some suspension upgrades too. I was thinking about the gears but not really feeling it. I think I'm going to do the longtube setup with new shocks this week. What would you reccomend I get with the $1000ish instead of the full longtube setup along with the divorced duals?
