Default Next Mod Should Be???

Ok, im trying to figure out what i should do next to the car. On 1 hand im thinking, get some Longtubes and on the other im thinking, do some suspension. I really hate the whole 4x4 look.

I have plans right now on, getting a new exhaust, Polished & Ported Throttle Body, fixing up my grill and doing berger & whistler mods & probably small interior mods. Just mainly all the easy stuff to do right now. Ive got some money saved up and seem's like ive come to a crossroads now on whether to go for some LongTubes or Suspension.

Which do you guy's think would be good to do now??? Im thinking Longtubes, add some good power to the car but suspension also helps & improves the overall look too.

Agreed. Flowmaster sounds like poop.

if i were to do an f-body again i would take care of the rear end first, second a complete suspension upgrade, third a 4l80e with a good stall, full exhaust, a tune and then save for some boost or a nice h/c setup, although you can always put a n2o kit on for just in case instances until you take a big plunge.

LT's and TD's... can't go wrong. That will give you some good power and sounds amazing.

Im getting rid of the Flowmaster system, and going with a SLP LM2 Muffler w/ Magnaflow SPUN cats. I dont want it to be too loud when i install LT's. Reason for not going with an ORY.

Ive been thinking it over though, and yeaa i think i am gonna go ahead and get me some LongTubes.
