well for me the biggest fun factor mods hands down have been:
MGW shifter, 1 piece Driveshaft Shop driveshaft, and AED tune..
those mods will defintly make the car perform like a true sports car..next i'd do cheaper mods like LCA's, UCA, panhardbar, struts and shocks cause the stock suspension on these cars suck..

I went off road x and tune for HP. haven't felt the need for any suspension work yet but I don't get to the track often. I currently just have the SR performance shifter and steeda bracket although I am wanting the MGW but it shifts fine as is.
My list would be exhaust > tune > sticky tires > lowering springs. Tires being for me, the best performance mod. Making a bunch of power is cool but spinning through the first 3 gears makes the car feel slower.
I am still looking to hold onto my warranty for a little longer so I did suspension first and it completely changed how my car drives and feels and than I did wheels and tires which completely changed the look and got stickier tires so I can actually put down the power.
It all depends on what you feel is more important. Next year I cannot wait to put an in take, AED tune, and X-pipe on my car.

If you're not worried about warranty, An Airaid, O/R/X, and tune combo is a nice kick in the pants for small $.
Headers for sure, make sure its a nice stainless set of Kooks or Stainless works.. quality.
Kooks O/R X is nice also. Don't bother with the mufflers - the combo of headers, o/r x, and kooks mufflers would be unbearably loud, get the Ford racing 50 state legal 'touring' muffler. I have it now with the above combo and resonator deletes.. its loud but not 'that guy' loud.
the other big upgrade is aluminum flywheel and light clutch.

usually O/R X is a good bang for the buck with a tune. gears are good seat of the pants feelings if you you have factory gears.
Or/x and Borla stingers kept the resos...sounds like sex. Lighter driveshaft helps.
UPR here.
If you want to sound like everyone else get an X pipe. If you want a deep growl go with an h pipe

That sounds awesome! I did not know that an H-pipe would give you a deeper sound like that. I am not a huge fan of how the offroad X sounds but are the HP and TQ benefits close to the same?
sounds about as deep as mine and I have an X. I think it depends on the exhaust setup. from what I have seen leaving the stock resonators in keeps the rasp down. H vs X I hear is X just sounds a little smoother. I have O/R X with flowmaster outlaws and it sounds pretty deep
