Pick my mod!

I need something to compliment my Brenspeed 93 tune and CAI (Steeda).

Here are the mods I am considering:

*** Full exhaust (Kooks LTs, catted x, magnaflows)
*** Drivetrain (MGW shifter, Spydershaft, 4.10 gears)
*** Wheels/Tires (18x9 & 18x10 DD Bullitts with 255/45s & 285/40s Nitto NT555s)

Of the 3, what should I get. This blows my budget for the summer. My next mod needs to carry me through til next spring.

Except for the tune and CAI, I am stock down to the 17" Bullitts.

How do you drive the car? Do you go to the track or to shows? How many miles do you put on your car?

The car is 20 months old and has ~3500 miles. It doesn't see snow - barely sees rain. Has a nice comfy garage to sit in. Not a daily driver.

I've never been to the track - but want to...I have 3 buddies that go (06 Mustang GT, 06 GTO and a restored 86 Monte Carlo SS with a high compression built 350 - runs very low 12s).

When I take her out - I like to get a little playful - if I have the room.

Well it looks like your goin in the right direction but its hard to tell. The first mod I do to any of my cars is exhaust. Then I go to wheels and tires. I don't know why but I have always been a little wary of gears and driveshafts...

Being not a daily driver, not a show or track car.... I would go with exhaust. If you had a show car on your hands, wheels and tires would be the route to go first. If you had a track car, you might want to do the drivetrain parts. But for causual cruising and a sweet sound, gotta go with the exhaust system.

Exhaust. Definitely exhaust. And with LT's. Nothing compares to the beautiful sweet rumble.

You cant go wrong with any of the mentioned mods. I voted exhaust though, you get a mean sound and pick up quite a few ponies.
