Default Mods and mods and mods

I just got my direct flo lid and slp smooth bellows. These are my first mods and I cannot stop.

So What is the next thing I should do?

I was thinking a new maf, corsa premium, and new plugs and wires.

For most people one of the, if not THE first thing to be done is a new catback exhaust system that fits your taste and prefs. If you don't know what you'd like or are not 100% certain search around for a catback that fits you. The LOUDmouth from SLP is right for me, it sounds just like loud, raw power <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , and I don't see spending anything over maybe $350 for just a catback that won't give you much power at all no matter what.

I agree with the Cat Back being next, from there it's time to look at wheels, springs, SFC, LCA and the like. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

As already posted, i'd reccomend that you go with a cat back. I run a borla, but you can't go wrong with any of the stainless systems. Just pick the one which you think sounds best. After the catback, the mods will depend on your goals for the car. If all your concerned about is the strip, I'd reccomend a torque converter (if the car is an auto), control arms, and long tube headers. If you're looking to increase the handling, I'd start with sub-frame connectors, then look at control arms, and lowering springs.
