If you are looking for a O/R X pipe the O/R Bassani X pipe
is a great peice.You will need MIL eliminators or you will
get a check engine light.

or, to go even further, another benefit of a handheld tuner is the ability to clear those codes, no need for MIL eliminators. Like I said, the more mods you have, the more useful it becomes.

another vote for Bassani

first tip for the 99, work the suspension. its garbage in stock form. fix the rear end, and stabalize the car first, maybe even do the cobra front brake conversion.

cheap power mods are timing adjuster, UD pullies, long tubes/mid lengths ( bassani makes the mids) X pipe (offroad will work) and mufflers if you feel the need (not much use except for sound). the inatke can be worked a bit, a solid CAI (demolet is my choice) 75mm TB and plenum will round out the cheap mods. though if you are going large bolton skip the timing adjuster and get a tuner.

the heads are solid just need some nice porting and cams do really well on these cars. full bolton NA can get 310 or so at the wheels.

the modulars also really respond well to forced induction. Nitrous is a large winner on these cars, and they love turbos and superchargers. high rev power band makes these guys happy too, not the low to mid range of most 5.0s. a shifter would also be a very nice start. steeda tri ax or MGW shifters are the most popular of the crowd, and a definate suggestion for the first mod.
