Longtubes are 25% more efficient, but you also have to think about emissions. Or if you plan on turbo charging the car. If you are goin to turbo the car go with shorty headers and you can just invert them, if you plan on goin with a supercharger or n/a go for long tubes if you can.

well with $2,000 you can do alot. dont get a body kit please...waste of money trust me. it would take almost all ur $2000. but i'd deffinitly spend $350 on true dual exuast. its not the same as a V8 but i love mine, i was smiling the whole way home while driving it and reving it high.

but yea the exuast, positive traction, headers, a chip, an underdrive pulley. and if you look on ebay i found 4 cobra rims for lik $300 which is a good deal, im personally am lookin towards gettin the deep dish cobra rims in chrome or alloy im not sure yet =/ $200 price difference

well thats just my recomendations, others will have other things too say but its all good advice.

for the cat back its your choice. Most people will go with Magnaflow or Flowmaster. Those seem to be the favorite among sixers. Mac is good for there h-pipes, and for headers. I know Mac makes Longtubes, and JBA makes some shortys.

MAC Longtubes are decently priced on the Redlined Performance Mustangs website, go with the ceramic coating not the HTS
