judging by your question....I can tell you haven't done any research....so before you BUY ANYTHING...do as much research as possible. are you doing the work yourself? caujse a decent exhasut wil cost you around that, but if you can't put it on yourself...you'll spend more.

Get the lid and save the money for gas while you cruise around getting to know your car and appreciate what you have before modding it...thats what i am doing anyway and am loving it 
Don't get in a big hurry and then wish you would have spent the money elsewhere... If you take your time and save your money, you will appreciate each mod a little more...

I suggest a magnaflow catback and a lid, but what are you wanting for the car? Looks? Performance? You can get a magnaflow catback for 395 shipped on ebay and a lid for about 100 shipped, its a good start.

lid 20 bucks, 20 to install it. a lid you can find used, even new they are about 100 bucks. is it a manual? get a shifter. if you have the stock hurst, just get a 20 dollar short stick. Youll have money to spare.
New era also will port your TB for 75 bucks shipped, with a couple day turnaround.
