First is midpipes. They are very simple to install, make great sound and bump power a bit.

Second is intercooler. Slightly more involved than the midpipes but still easy. Not much power difference but will help on HOT summer days down here.

Third is downpipes. A real pain to install but straight forward. I'll install the little burger O2 sensor override wire too. This will definitely give a nice power bump and make for exciting new sounds!

Last will be intake and software. I am holding off on both of these until everything else is done. These two with the other stuff already installed will add a HUGE bump in power.

Before the last two items go in I will be going to 285 or 295 rear tires to help deal with the 'problem' of all this extra power
Sounds like an excellent plan. I will be going with the Midpipe first also and then a tune...im leaning towards Cobb. I will see how i feel after those mods and go from there. I think a bigger footprint is a must and a 285 sounds about right. I did the track setup with 265 front and 285 rear on Apex 18 inch wheels and if feels really solid.
