I would say no real gains from the mufflers unless you do a whole catback and even then it will be negligible. I would say x pipe first. 4.10 or 3.73 gears, depending on how you drive. I would do the underdrives with a timing mod if they made them for the 3v. skip the cold air

I am running the Mac axle back mufflers on mine, love the sound but they do get a little noisy inside the car. I am going to line my trunk with some sound deadener to quieten the cab down. In addition the mac fills up the area they have cut out for the pipes makes a really snug clean fit. Steeda springs also are pretty good addition especially if you are going to do some driving like at the dragon. If they start selling merchandise again I would advise the kenny brown springs though best riding springs I have ever owned myself.

As far as the set up I am running now I must say I did copy UGOTBIT, Lee was working on his car and I heard how it sounded and watched Lee put the springs on and ordered the same stuff the next week. Love the set up! Have you had any problems with your car, I have a 70,000 mile warranty and got some ideas floating around?

Here is a link, I know the numbers may be hard to believe but Lee called Steeda to verify that they were accurate.

I really like the Steeda line of products because they have been tested and proven on these cars by Steeda which is a manufacturer for Ford. I guess somewhat like shelby but it seems Steeda's prices are a lot better!
