I have a 2012 GT, all I have done so far is install LCA's. I wanted to get some opinions on my next mod. I was thinking either a Airaid CAI or HeartThrob cat-back. From reading it looks like both add about the same performance wise. Which ever I don't get now I will eventually get in a few months but I just wanted to get yalls opinions on each or how you like each if you have them. I'm waiting a little while on the tune, it will come just later on down the road.

If you are waiting on a tune then wait to get the CAI at the same time. If absolute performance is not a major goal then upgrade parts that will make an impact on your daily drive. My vote would go with exhaust, lowering springs with KONI STR.t's, and speaker upgrades.

The fact that the exhaust will make you grin every time you step on the gas makes it a fun mod

It's not that absolute performance isn't my goal, I just want to get more miles on the car before getting a tune. I know chances are the motor will be fine with one but, just to save a fight with the wife, I'm waiting a while on the tune. So you feel a CAI is best with a tune? Is that because there is little benefit to just the CAI alone?

For this, 10 points for the exhaust!

Exhaust for the sound(or sound and performance if you do full exhaust or cat-back), wider tires for the grip and putting horses to the ground, shifter upgrades since you have an MT. I also waited(until 10K miles) before I did any engine mods, was worried about "ticks" etc. Luckily everything has been great!

So looks like I'm leaning more toward the HeartThrob catback, This one http://www.americanmuscle.com/heartthrob-hpipe-1112gt.html gonna stick with the stock mufflers until I can get the GT500's
