A lot of that really depends on use and goals. Do you want an open track car? Drag racer? DD/commuter?

Mine is a daily driver, commuter, and long distance cruiser. Comfort, quiet smooth ride, and fuel economy are my goals.

I changed the intake to a cold air kit, reprogrammed the computer, and switched to a GT muffler. That's it. It's otherwise bone stock.

It's fun to drive, very comfortable, sorta quiet, and often gets >30mpg. It does fine in light snow and heavy rain. I don't plan on any other functional changes.

A 5 speed car. But really, a computer tune can change shift points and pressure levels in the transmission.

full exhaust is just a piece of 2 pipes w/out high flow cats.
yes no cats gives you better output also a little bit louder sound.

When you open your hood take a look to the sides of the engine you will see a metal that has 4-6 tubes and then joins the exhaust.

there shorty ones which can go directly with your stock exhaust

and mid ones
with long ones you will need a diffrent exhaust or modify your stock one.

Headers (this will depend on the tpye of exaust i get correct and the person installing the exaust will tell me this correct)

if its an auto 4.10 stick 3.73 recommended
a tuner makes your car respond better to mods and increase horsepower
