Depending on your driviing, 4.10's or 4.30s for gears.(dont forget $$$ to install about 200-250)If you get gears(dont know why everyone forgets this) You will want an aluminum driveshaft. ($250) It will take away any vibrations, and help your car in general turn the drivetrain quicker(less rotational mass, but thats a diff subject). -Short throws- The best out there are the steeda tri-ax(notchy), and MGW(smooth).- Full exhaust(Long tubes(GET CERAMIC COATED, none of that chrome bull, it helps protect them and keep the heat down in the engine bay) If you have flowmasters, dont get an X-pipe, get an H-pipe.. O/R of course. If no catback then whichever one you like. BTW whoever mentioned SLP earlier, its expensive becauuse its full SS and its modular.If you get longtubes and whatnot. You will want to buy a tuner(SCT2, or SCT3 if u feel like spending the extra $$$; but SCT2 is still perfect), you can find them used quite often, but a tune will run you around $500. Tuning ur car after this is where you will really see the gains. CAI- Dont get BBK(its a hot air intake). Ur CAI doesnt really give you any gains, but almost improves your throttle response. So yes its still benficial to get one. JLT makes some of the best. Side note for long tube headers. Most brands like MAC/Flowtech/ and BBK are good, but you will need to take your driver side off in order to drop the tranny(or drop the tranny to get it on). These Lts will run you about $500-600.If you buy Kooks you will spend around $1000, but you do not have to take the header off to drop the tranny, the header itself actually comes apart so no need to drop the tranny.(alot of people dont get these due to price and depending on how they drive it). If you do alot of racing and are gunna end up changing ur clutch or whatnot alot, get these. Rims- cobra rims are decently light, depending on the year. 98s- 25 i believe. and i think 03/04(authentic) are about 27/28. I might be off by a few lbs here and there on them, but not my much. Replicas usually weigh in around 35-40 lbs. And yes, lighter rims will make your car faster(again less rotational mass which is 4x heavier then deadweight, and if you are talking rims(which u have 4 of, thats alot of weight to be saved). Yall can do the math. here. 25lb rims=100lbsx4rims=400lbs35lb rims=140x4rims=560lbs..see what im getting at?</blockquote>
