i would say, Gears first mod. they cost around 175 and like 250 for installation....then i would make the car sound bad ass get a Bassani X Pipe with a nice sounding catback go to mustangexhaust.com...then if u got a couple extra bucks ..... drop it with H&R's and get like an intake or pullies

Welcome Aboard! If you are going to do some mods
I would start with a nice Flowmaster Catback!

if it wer me and I had an auto I would do this in the following order...

1. 26-2800 stall converter with shift kit for the auto

2. at least a catback and then a off road mid pipe...and if you have the money headers

The stall converter and shift kit will drop big chunks of time off of your ET's if you run the car. It will make it alot more fun to drive and beef up your tranny at the same time. If you do that and put exhaust on it....minus the headers due to money issues....you will enjoy your car a whole lot more....

I would go with this:

FRPP 4.10's via Summit with price match = $140
friction modifier = $15
gear oil = $20
installation = $180

Superchips Microtuner (adjust timing, shift points, fix speedo for gears, etc..) = $400

o/r X Pipe = $150 (self install)

weld in straight through style mufflers
$160 for mufflers
$75 welding/install

$60 left over for 2 tanks of 93 octane gas @ 10 mpg for having fun with all your new hp.

my .02. gears. then send to t&J and have them bump the timing and recal. cost $200 but save you some coin over a useless microtuners that cost $400 and do the same thing. then on too exhaust. vrs stainless x-pipe $250 to the door. then a stainless catback. borla stinger, magnaflow/magnapack

gears $350
recal $200
x-pipe $250
borla stinger,mangnaflow $450

this will give you power, great sound and quality parts all the way through.
