Well my tax return just came in the mail and lets just say I raped uncle sam. anyway now I got about 3K+ to spend and its all going into an exaust system. So far Im thimking of getting MSDS headers, dual SS exaust, probably flowmaster with 2.5 piping, and maybe no cat.
Anything left over is going into AEM/GMK intake, unorthodox pully. I have no other mods in place or in the works. Oh and I have a 2.5 ATX
Any opinions ,suggestions, and comments are greatly welcome. Thanx:

With that set-up prepare for lots of rasp. I would suggest getting a Trubendz SS 2.5 with magnaflow center muffler, and a trubendz high flow cat. The complete exhaust should be $1500 or less.
MSDS Headers: $785.00
Trubendz SS 2.5 Magnaflow/Flowmaster (Duel Exit): $505.00
Trubendz SS High flow cat: $170.00
Exhaust system total: $1460
You should have lots of money left over. I would hold off on the crank pulley and do the SVT Lite upgrade and get a tranny cooler. Even with all that you should have money left over for a Zex wet nitrous system, GMK/CC CAI, and ADC chip.
With all listed above you should see some pretty nice gains.
Edited: These are just my opinions so others may feel different.

I think that sums it up as far as most of the performance mods you can do to an ATX, and believe me, all of those mods are on everyone's wish lists :biggrin:

I'm actually also looking at a ground control CO, Koni strut, and 19 inch rim combo further down the road.
Maybe next year uncle sam will be generous aswell:banana:

I have the tru-bendz 2.5" with the flowmaster and it sounds sweet....loud but I love it, I don't have a sound clip but maybe this will help.
