Organizing Modding list....

lately I have been trying to figure out what mods i should start with, well already got the strup headers, and mostly likely to get strup test pipe instead of customized....
stressing me out cuz I want to get all the stuff at once but trying to control myself....so need you guys to persuate me to slow the heck down!!
what should be my steps? I'm thinking start with the exhaust system first...got the greddy bodykit already....thinking of getting some wheels and suspension next?
some advice would be really helpful
thanks

I would actually drop it first...

It's the cheapest suspension mod yet makes it look a ton better.

This would be my list:

1) Drop

2) 5/16 Spacer

3) Mrev 2

4) Exhaust

5) Wheels

6) Etc, Etc, Etc

You gotta work yourself up the latter

The tune would fall under the "Etc Etc Etc".

It can live without a tune if you're rev-up... but I wouldnt take a chance with any more mods anyhow.

Utec sounds good to me

Since you already got bodykit then -> suspension -> wheels -> intake/spacer -> exhaust.

Bodykit without lowering is ugly.
Bodykit without nice set of wheels is funny.
Bodykit without lowering and nice set of wheels is hella ugly and funny.

Here are my tango steps on my 06 MT:
-Lowering springs
-Shocks
-Wheels and tires
-Camber kits
-Sway bars
-Front strut bar and all lower bars
-Intake
-Exhaust
-Spacer
-MREV2
-High flow cats
-ECU reflash
-Body works
-Force induction
-Dyno tune
-Rebuild engine with forge internal after blowing stock engine with 8 PSI of boost
-Retune on Dyno
-Done and put the car on eBay...priceless...

If you look back at my prior post, actually the 1st one, it says "My List"...

Im rev-up

Mrev2 is definately a negative on non-revups without a tune

Tunes are expensive, not sure if they're really worth it. But a must depending on how lean you're running.

It all comes down to how much money you have... I wish I had alot more

i like the idea of getting wheels and suspension next
ok....let's say i have about 6000CND right now...and dont want to get
everything new yet....will that do with a set of decent coilover and used wheels....( i dont have to worry about camber kit if i get coilover right?)
hopefully have something left for me to get a nice HKS exhaust?
