Well a larger exhaust will kill you lower end power...not cool. Make your own HomeDepot Intake (we need a real name for the ghetto home-brew intake) or just hack the bottom of the stock air box off.

I'd wait on the hood so you got a good amount power. I'd rather be quicker and stock looking.

4.10:1 gears after the tune will help with them 20" wheels. Then e-fans, headers, etc.

The bottom is hacked out, first thing I did. Dont want a bigger exhaust just looking to add a little back pressure and clean up the sound. I would really like to get the tune becasue my damn o2 sims are malfunctioning and I have to send them back. My cosdes are still tripping. I am going to keep my 3.73 becasue I drive on the highway. Just looking for the cheapest performance for the dailydriver. I do not want nitrous. I will hopefully get a turbo someday.

I think the tune is up on top right now. I can probably still fix the exhasut to. I am going to have to start selling body parts to keep up.

When I switched out my flowmaster muffler for a magnaflow catback I really noticed a increase in low end torque and it sounds great

You may not even consider this, but I would save it. Nothing is better than having a fat lump of cash all at once so you dont have to bargain and cut corners on mods. Every item I have purchased has turned out to be at least 50% more expensive than I had anticipated, but also more fun. Definately go for performance first. If you have turbo or blower plans in the future start saving now. Good luck
