First catch up on any and all maintenance that the car may need with it being a 2000. Then you can never go wrong starting with a lid, filter and catback. Take your time, have fun and get used to the "my next mod" mentality. It's funny how quickly you'll put something in your car and in a few days, you'll be looking forward to the next thing. It's a costly hobbie.
