The wife is going to let me spend a little more money. Should i do a CAI or short throw. I just had the muffler delete completed. Which one would you guy go with?

Shifter, i wouldnt bother with a CAI until you do a tune. You wont gain anything but sound with a tune from a CAI.

Id put the money from the shifter towards long tubes personally.

CAI for sure

Air in/ Air out that's how it works in performance, & Hp/weight ratio

Unless of course your just a waxx'er and want a car that looks fast

shifter for sure. stock air box isnt bad, and a new shift will give you a better driving experience.

shift is the mod i have been the happiest with behind my exhaust.

This +1 because shifting quicker has no relevance to making the car faster......wait a minute

The stock shifter is garbage...do youself a favor and replace it. I would tint my windows over the CAI since it doesn't offer up much with basic mods.
