Exhaust. CAI will only be useful with a tune, and even then the gains are questionable.

I got S types on mine. Perfect for adding more parts in the long run, as they are quiet compared to muffler delete ab's. Quiet at idle, but touch that gas pedal and she'll barble and roar.

If you don't plan on adding exhaust parts later, go Roush ab's.

Definitely exhaust and definitely borla like said above. I say lower next. That's a pretty unbeatable duo.

Howdy fellow Texan. I have not done any mods yet but the first thing I want to do is the exhaust. I'm interested in the Roush axle backs.

I thought about the gt500s too. They sound like a louder version of what I have now. I love the sound of the Roushes more.

They don't have the Roush. Roush sells theirs for $489. $399 for the 500s.

Tires, get the best you can afford for your driving style. I went to Michelin Pilot Super Sports from Nittos and Sumitomos and the difference was night and day for hard corners and grip.

The Roush AB was the first mod I did to my 2014 GT. I think I installed them at about 267 miles on the car. Great sound. It was either those or the Borla S type but I didn't want to spend the extra money on the Borla so I went with the Roush and I don't regret it.

I just found the Roush axle backs on sale on Ebay for $446 from Yates Performance. I ordered them.
